When I grow into awesome Christian blogger, I want to be something like Jon Acuff.
Acuff is the creator of the stellar blog Stuff Christians Like, an always hilarious and often dead-on take of stuff that — well, Christians like (”Rooting for Tim Tebow” is No. 649 on the list). But recently, Acuff decided to wield his wit and wisdom for good, calling on the blog’s readers to build a kindergarten in Vietnam. Price: $30,000.
The requisite cash was raised in 18 hours.
Perhaps figuring that his readers had more money than they knew what to do with, or perhaps counting on the fund-raising effort to fill blog space for several days, Jon decided to raise money for a second kindergarten for another $30,000. And he has a special incentive: For each $3,000 donated to the cause, Zakk — a hand-drawn “metrosexual worship leader” — gets a hip new article of clothing to wear. I’d love to print a picture of Zakk in his rockin’ jeans, scarf and skinny tie. But I don’t have permission, so you’ll just have to make due with a cover from Acuff’s book and follow this link.
If you’re so inclined, feel free to trot on over to the site and donate some money. I think Zakk needs some hair mousse.
