So, you suffered through “That Awkward Moment” and allowed me to explain how fund raising is both awkward and necessary– Now what?
Now, if you would like to join in this ministry (financially or otherwise), look over the following options and prayerfully consider how you might do so.
For the fluffy budget: If your budget consistently has extra, or if you are practicing financial discipline to allow more room for generosity, consider sending in a donation through the “Support Me” link. You can send in a one-time gift, or sign up as a monthly sponsor.

For the tight budget: If your budget doesn’t have much wiggle room, consider sending in a one-time gift with the Adopt-A-Box campaign. Each box on the chart below represents a single gift amount, and each needs to be claimed & sponsored. Once it is, the box is covered with a star & once all are covered it will raise over $5,000! There are still several boxes available for less than $20. If you are feeling a little more ambitious, consider claiming a box with a larger amount & asking your friends and family to co-sponsor with you. (See my blog “Adopt-A-Box” for more information)
For the coffee lover: If you need to purchase coffee, anyway, to prevent mid-morning jitters why not purchase it from a store that offers more than 20 fair trade, organic roasts? When you purchase coffee through my online storefront with “Just Love Coffee” more than 30% of your total purchase goes to fund my ministry. Check it out at the link below!

For the T-Shirt wearer: I know what you’re thinking… “Amy’s going on the World Race and all I get is this lousy T-shirt” right? Well, hopefully these T-shirts aren’t so lousy 🙂 Shirts are $15, come in all standard sizes, are heather fabric (so they’re actually soft & comfortable), and are available in red, navy, green, and charcoal gray. These can be ordered via phone, Facebook, or email!
For the fitness enthusiast: I joined IMpossible Fitness because I was scared to carry a 50lb backpack. I stayed at IMpossible Fitness because I was (and AM) surrounded by people who genuinely care about me and want to see me succeed beyond the gym. In the month of March, 50% of all gift cards purchased will be donated to my World Race fund. Also, if you sign up for a monthly package & give my name as a reference, they will lower my monthly payment by $10. Spending $10 less on my membership = spending $10 MORE on my monthly donation! If you’d like to check it out, please call, text, tweet, message, CONTACT me and I would LOVE to take you with me one evening!

For the student, teacher, organizer, and prayer warrior: Purchase an academic calendar (June 2015-June 2016) with personalized pictures and points of prayer for each month I spend on the mission field. This is a wonderful tool for those of you who have signed up to be a part of my prayer team, or for those who need a practical reminder when life is busy (like me!). Calendars are $15 and can be ordered the same way as the T-shirts: via phone, Facebook, or email!
Speaking of prayer warriors: I am still actively building my prayer team! If you are consistently going before the Lord on my behalf (or, if you would like to begin), please let me know. My prayer team is the most important piece of preparation- a piece that will carry me through and beyond this journey! I am so, so thankful for each of you!!!
So, now it is all clear as mud! If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me- I hope you all know how much I love hearing from you & sharing your burdens the way you have all shared mine. God cultivates a new kind of “community”: one that crosses generations, genders, and geographies. I love every minute spent with the community God has cultivated around me!
Thank you!!!
