I sleep out for The Rescue Mission’s One Night event to raise critical funds and awareness for the 3,000 men, women, and children who are experiencing a homeless crisis in Northeast Indiana. I also CELEBRATE my friends and colleagues who have healed from past trauma, overcome their barriers to employment, found a greater purpose, and are now showing others that all things are possible through Christ who strengthens us. Will you join me in the fight to provide, through the power of Jesus Christ, a home for the homeless, food for the hungry, and hope for their future by making a gift today?

Welcome to (unofficially named) Team Ultimate Chicken Horse's [Jay & Ben] page for One Night Without A Home! . "One Night Without A Home is a sleep-out event that allows participants to raise awareness and funds for the men, women, and children of The Rescue Mission." . The (unofficially named) Team Ultimate Chicken Horse will be camping out on the night of October 9, 2021. . Now you may be thinking: What kind of (unofficial) team name is Ultimate Chicken Horse? We picked a name that we hoped would capture our friendship, hopes for the evening, and add some humor for those cheering us on at home. We clearly hope for an 'ultimate' experience but the rest of the name takes some unpacking and frames your participation and support. . Ultimate Chicken Horse is a video game we are both fond of where over the course of multiple rounds the players (as various barn animals) try to navigate from a starting point to a finish zone. Each round gets progressively more difficult as the players add barriers, items, or destroy elements of the map. Usually the addition or subtraction of game elements result in terminating characters for the round but we won't be playing that way in real life (for reasons our wives both fully support). . But here's where you can participate in supporting (unofficial) Team Ultimate Chicken Horse! Beyond raising awareness for persons experiencing a homeless crisis, this is a fundraising campaign for the Rescue Mission which seeks through the power of Jesus Christ to provide a home for the homeless, food for the hungry, and hope for their future. We are hoping to raise $500 for the Rescue Mission via our participation in One Night Without A Home. Our basic plan is to get a tent (Jay) and a hammock (Ben) and camp out in Jay's backyard for the night then drive to the Rescue Mission in the morning for breakfast (as a throwback to how previous iterations of ONWH finished). . BUT! You can impact (unofficial) Team Ultimate Chicken Horse in a manner similar to the game. If your support crosses certain financial thresholds ('Rounds'), it will modify our night without a home. . Round 1: If we raise at least $100, neither of us will have a sleeping bag and will only use our tent and hammock. We will finish the night by driving to the Rescue Mission for breakfast in the morning. . Round 2: If we raise at least $250, we will sleep up against a pine tree in Jay's backyard with only the clothing that we have on. We will finish the night by driving to the Rescue Mission for breakfast in the morning. . Round 3: If we raise at least $500, we will get dropped off at the site of the old Rescue Mission at 5:30p (which is the starting check in time for the night at the Men's Shelter) with sack dinners from the Rescue Mission and rough it for the night in downtown Fort Wayne. We will finish the night by walking to the Rescue Mission for breakfast in the morning. . BONUS ROUND: For every increment of $50 beyond our $500 goal, we will carry with us for the whole night some kind of item that our participants generally need to keep with them at all times that may seem unexpected. We can both attest that it can be difficult to accommodate the "gear" that our participants carry around with them such as a wheelchair, walker, camping gear, pack of clothes, etc. so we will seek to be on the other side of the "gear" for a night. If we break $1000 we will walk from Jay's house with all our "gear" to 301 to simulate the reality many of our participants face of having no form of transportation (or maybe a flat bike tire) and the busses not running in the evening/Sundays. Unfortunately we are not able to go out and pick up persons who call us asking for a ride back to TRM. . {P.S. For the eagle eyed among you, you may have noticed that I haven't yet explained how the game captures our friendship. It may seem odd that a game where you basically intentionally encourage other players to fall off ledges, get sucked into black holes, or cannon'd off could say much good. But as friends in the trenches, we daily encounter broken people who have fallen off of emotional and societal ledges and spend most days with people stuck in black holes of addiction, poverty, and homelessness. We find ourselves cannon'd around and enduring all manner of surreal experiences which are types of deaths for us (and tragically real deaths for some of them). But we are blessed to encourage each other in representing the Life giving Light of Christ to the men, women, and children we serve as well as our coworkers. It's an Ultimate Chicken Horse kinda job, kinda friendship, kinda life. We wouldn't have it any other way. Peace to you Christ Jesus :D}
