New Metro ads answer December humanist campaign
Remember in December I told you about JoEllen Murphy, whose response to a humanist who-needs-God? ad campaign on Washington DC's Metro buses was to raise money to give voice to those of us who're not ashamed to say we do?
She raised the money! They're here!
But it gets even better! JoEllen writes:
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!We did it! We raised $14,000! From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank all of you for your donations, your prayers, your encouragement, interest, and support. Your enthusiasm for the project enabled us to reach the goal in only two weeks and two days!
We have purchased the ads, and due to a delay, the interior ads, which were scheduled to begin the 15th, will now start December 22, along with the taillight ads. We have enough money to run these ads for five weeks instead of four. This means that the ads will run through January 25th, and thus be up through the Inauguration and March for Life! The ads for the sides of the buses have also been purchased and will run December 29th - January 25.
Read the rest - and buy bumper stickers if you like - at I Believe Too.
HT to Home Sweet Heart.
And JoEllen, you have proven that there are Esthers among us everywhere! Thank you!

That is so cool!! Awesome news. I thought the initial ads than ran would actually be good PR for the Christian faith because the group that sponsored them came across as such scrooges during Christmas. And even people who are on the fence about God aren't comfortable rejecting Him outright. This is a wonderful follow-up.
