So if any of you dear readers missed the announcement last Sunday, here's why Tom & I (and various other Vineyard males) are starting to sport moustaches...
The last two years, hair/beards (and the sponsored growing & shaving of,) have played a role in Form/Via support raising for international mission. So this year, what with our trip to Ukraine happening a bit earlier in the year (April), Tom and I have dedicated March to the comical and sometimes uncomfortable task of growing moustaches!
That's right, from 1st to 31st of March not one blade will touch the upper lip (and general handlebar area). Maybe we're inspired by the Cossack tradition of our destination -- (see pic) -- alternatively, we might just be mad...
Either way, we're inviting you to either:
Sponsor Tom & I! You'll get the amusement and the joy of helping us in our mission to Ukraine -- we'll get the comments and funny stares...
OR... what we're really hoping some of you will do is...
Join us! Are you male? Is the cultivation of a 'tache within your powers? This way we can reach a lot more people, raise more support and enjoy your solidarity too :) There are already two brave guys at my work joining us, you can get sponsor forms from Tom or me so that family friends and whoever you meet can get their money's worth too, watching a lovely moustache develop between now and April!
It's worth noting that all surplus above our travel/accom. costs will go as gifts to the orphanage and new church plants in Ukraine.
Rumour has it Andrew might be joining in too?? (unconfirmed)...
Any questions about the ministry trip, the challenge, or moustaches in general, please ask a member of the Via team!

Please post photos of this. That reminds me of some photos we have of Tom when we were shaving his beard, etc and the last thing to go was the mustache. Good times. =)
well done on the foot front... hope you are okay though?
