BAM: 30 Books in 30 Days

So as we were heading down here, if you had talked with us about our long term plans you probably heard us talking about the possibility of "Business as Missions" or BAM.  We weren't really sure how, when or where.  Well now we've got a much clearer idea!


The basic idea of "Business as Missions" is to create an ethical, honest & productive business with a focus and concern for the workers, clients and surrounding neighbors.  So yes, the business is there to make a profit and in reality to sustain ourselves.  It will also allow us to get involved with our community here outside of our church and organization.  


As you probably saw in our video, we're pretty excited about this idea.  We're hoping that the  30 Books in 30 Days will help us develop a nice start to a library of resources and textbooks.  


So if you're interested, let me explain how this all works.


Of course we couldn't find all the books on Amazon or Barnes and Noble, so we had to make two Wish Lists that added up to 30 :)

1. Click on this link: Amazon Wish List  
2. It's ordered according to priority
3. Everything will be shipped to Cheryl Reeve (Christine's mom), to side step the incredible shipping cost.  When you check out at amazon.com, select the shipping address for "Cheryl Reeve" (it will say "Wish List Shipping Address" underneath.)

OR, to shop at Barnes and Noble:

1. Click on this link: Barnes and Noble Wish List   
2. You have to actually log into our name.  
1. email address : thekeitts@gmail.com
2. password : 30books
3. Once you're there, look on the top of the screen under the My Account tab and click Wish List.  
4. It should automatically have Cheryl Reeve as the shipping address.  

Yeah, I know if someone out there works for Barnes and Noble, ask them why they created their Wish List like this.  Thanks :)

If you have any questions please feel free to leave a comment here or shoot us an email at thekeitts@gmail.com


Here are some questions that we thought you might have or FAQ:


Will you still work and serve with the organization and the school?
Oh yeah!  We're hoping that running this business just part down will be able to raise sufficient funds to sustain ourselves.  


So if I'm supporting you monthly what's going to happen?
Ok, so we're hoping that within a certain amount of time we'll get to the point where monthly supports won't have to support us anymore.  We'd absolutely love it if you found other missionaries to support in our place.  But this is basically all up to how the business runs.  We have high expectations and would thoroughly appreciate all prayers in regards to the business.


Should I buy two copies of the same book?
No need.  Here in Chile you can legally copy textbooks even with copyright laws.  Don't ask me how they do it, but we've already used this amazing copying system Chile has and plan on doing the same with these books.  


Where am I shipping these books to?
Ohio!  When you check out at amazon.com, select the shipping address for "Cheryl Reeve" (it will say "Wish List Shipping Address" underneath.)

We'll keep you updated on our countdown at the top of our blog!
