Skydiving for God?

-A A +A

Taking to the sky to raise funds for missionary work

By Brenda Locklear

Back when the children were at $26,000 of their $30,000 goal, their pastor didn’t think the dare they gave him sounded too bad. After all, Chuck Padgett had already slept on a billboard sign, camped out in front of a Walmart store for a week and taken the Polar Bear Plunge, all to raise money for missionary work – what’s a little skydive jump?
That’s what he was thinking weeks ago, when he first issued the challenge to bring in the extra $4,000. They brought in another $5,000, raising more than $31,000.
