One of the great joys of being a part of a non-profit organization is seeing first hand the generosity and love of incredible people! Let me introduce you to Cocoa Kayaking of Cocoa Beach, Florida. A couple of weeks ago we received a call from this big hearted business asking if we could use 15 "experienced" tandem kayaks because they were purchasing a new fleet of vessels. They had 15 Perception Rambler tandem kayaks that are only 2-years old ready for pick-up if we were interested. Heck yeah! These kayaks are in great condition with many years of life left in them for our ministry! We estimate that we will take thousands upon thousands of people out on them over the next 10 years! That's a BIG DEAL for our ministry! Cocoa Kayaking could have sold these kayaks for about $350 each, but they chose to find a non-profit organization that could put them to good use. And to top it off they threw in 19 kayak seats, 27 paddles all in good to great condition, & a half dozen new tie-down straps! All totaled we estimate this donation is valued at over $6500!! But the impact God will make thru them over the next 10 years will be PRICELESS! And the opportunity we had to meet and talk to some of the staff & owners of Cocoa Kayaking was such a blessing and wonderful experience. THEY! ARE! SO! AWESOME!!
Yesterday, a good friend (who always tells me he doesn't want any recognition) and I drove over to Cocoa Beach to pick up the kayaks. Yesterday afternoon we safely returned with our newly added vessels! Thank You Jesus!!
