At the beginning of each Sprint class, we give our "elevator pitch" - that 30-second description of who we are and what we do.
Mine changed significantly that week.
"Hi, I'm Jenny Fultz with Well Communications Group, where our pool of talented creatives specialize in knowing our clients so well that we can design, write, post, broadcast and produce on their behalf. We also believe in creating a better world, so Well Communications commits to funneling a portion of our billable revenue to fund clean water initiatives in third world villages."
Feedback was positive, which always feels good. (We artists crave affirmation!) My instructor called it "exciting." I was jazzed.
I bounced my idea off of Sheri - the gal who started this whole dang snowball. She thought it had great merit.
But it was when I returned to my desk and opened my email that I knew I was onto something.
"Dearest Jenny," the email from one of my Young Life volunteer leaders began. "You know that Rachel and I traveled to Haiti last summer to volunteer at an orphanage. We are wondering if you would help us brand our fundraising drive to help the orphanage with their CLEAN WATER crisis..."
I was hooked. I would do anything to help. Mostly - I was elated that God can affirm through a random email from a friend who had no idea what I'd been thinking.
