The Rescue Is Still Going, Sadly

The Rescue on Saturday was really awesome. We marched through Downtown, I hung out with Haley Alayra and cool SPU peeps, and we were rescued... early. I was thinking about going with the Rescue Riders to Spokane, since they had not been Rescued at the time; I decided against it since I had three mid-terms this week. Something in me wishes that I had went.

The Rescue has not been completed. Chicago is the only town left. The Mogul list includes:

1. President Obama
2. Oprah
3. Michelle Obama
4. Senator Durbin (IL)
5. Bono
6. Don Cheadle
7. Vice-President Joe Biden

The Rescue Is Happening



The RESCUE is this Saturday, April 25. If you don't know what I'm talking about, Joseph Kony has been using child soldiers to destory Uganda for over 15 years, and we're stopping it.

If you're in Orange County:

Meet at the OC Fairgrounds Gate 4 at 3:00 pm. From there, everyone will be walking around Costa Mesa and returning back to the Fairgrounds, staying overnight. Parking is $5 at the Fairgrounds. You will wait there until you are rescued by one politician, one celebrity, and, most importantly, one media member who will be getting the message out. Among the expected politicians and celebrities includes Senator Barbara Boxer, Senator Dianne Feinstein, Congress reps (i.e. Linda Sanchez, Dana Rohrabacher, etc.), Ben McKenzie, Pete Carroll, Matt Costa, and others.

If you're in Seattle:

Meet at Denny Park on the corner of Denny Way and Dexter Ave. at 3:00 pm. From there, everyone will be walking past the Space Needle to Myrtle Edwards Park. You will wait there until you are rescued by one politician, one celebrity, and, most importantly, one media member who will be getting the message out. Among the expected politicians and celebrities includes Senator Maria Cantwell, Senator Patty Murray, Congress reps (i.e. Jim McDermott, Adam Smith, etc.), Mayor Greg Nickels, Bill and Melinda Gates, Ben Gibbard, Howard Schultz, Matt Hasselback, and others.

If you're in Los Angeles:

Meet at Beach Park #1, 2600 Barnard Way (Just down the beach from the pier). From there, everyone will be walking to Santa Monica City Hal until you are rescued by one politician, one celebrity, and, most importantly, one media member who will be getting the message out. Among the expected politicians and celebrities includes Senator Barbara Boxer, Senator Dianne Feinstein, Congress reps (i.e Diane E. Watson, Brad Sherman, Howard Berman, etc.) Kristen Bell, Kirsten Dunst, Peter Eichstaedt, and others.

The hope is that the message will get out. On the way to our final destinations we will be writing our local politicians. Secondly, when the celebrities and politicians come to the final destinations, the media will come to. In effect, the message will finally get into the mass media. People will know about it and demand change. I'm excited and you should be, too. Pray about it, bring your friends, get involved, bring your mom, bring your ukulele, help out.

India 2009 Prayer Letter

Dear Friends and Family,

Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ! The last few months have been ridiculous! In September, I packed everything I have into two bags and moved to Seattle as a student at the University of Washington. At school, I have been involved with Christian apologetics, psychology research, and the college ministry at Mars Hill Church, my local church.

As part of a team of about 10 people, I will be traversing to India in July of 2009. India is large country in South Asia. This culturally diverse country is home to about a billion people and the world's highest mountain range, the Himalayas.

This missions trip is part of what is known as the P.E.A.C.E. plan, an outreach effort to attack the “five global giants.” They include spiritual emptiness, corrupt leadership, poverty, disease, and illiteracy. This initiative was created to:

P - Promote Reconciliation
E - Equip Leaders
A - Assist The Poor
C - Care For The Sick
E - Educate The Next Generation

Our main goal is to share the love of Christ with the people of India. Our team will be working with churches, visiting orphanages and slum areas, and, possibly, meeting some members of local cults.

There are two ways in which you can be of great assistance. First, PRAY! Pray that we will keep our ears open to what the Lord has called us to do. Also, pray that the team will be God’s ambassadors and honor him with our thoughts, deeds, actions, and words while we are in India. As bond servants to the Lord, pray that we would be a united group with one goal: to love God and to love others.

A second way that you can help is through financial support. All support goes directly towards the funds of the trip, and no where else. The trip is an estimated $3014. Any support would be greatly appreciated. Obviously, this is a substantial amount, but I put my trust in God who transcends money; I know that he will provide for my needs. Please realize that this money is going to be used to share the love and Good News of Jesus Christ with the people of India.

If God leads you to give something financially, small or large, please make it payable to Saddleback Church. Do not include my name in the memo area; in this way, it will be tax deductible. Please send your contributions in an enclosed envelope to my address (e-mail me for my address: didyouseethatt@yahoo.com). Once given to me, I will deliver it directly to the church. I must raise $300 by March 8, an additional $1800 by May 1st, and, finally, $950 by June 1.

Thank you for taking the time to read my letter. I look forward to telling you about the many things that God will have done on my trip to India. May God bless you with His extravagant love.

Sincerely,
Jay Kelly

UCSD Sends Acceptance E-mails To The Wrong List

UC San Diego made a rather large mistake, yesterday. Last month, about 17,000 students were accepted to the university, including Nicole Nimehla and Bri Eastman (I'm pretty sure this is not changing), denying 29,000 San Diego hopefuls. However, the university's communication department accidentally sent an e-mail to all 46,377 applicants, yesterday, congratulating them on their admission to UCSD. About a half-an-hour later, the University realized its mistake, and immediately sent a second e-mail, apologizing to the 29,889 applicants who thought they had been admitted.
