It's that time again, friends! It's the time where our squad has another financial deadline approaching and I must humbly ask for your help. My gratitude for everything that all of you have done to get me this far is more than you will ever know, and I pray that you believe I am hesitant to come to you again. But in Galatians 6:2, Paul instructs us-"Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ." My current burden, which I pray you will feel led to bear with me is this: by December 1 I am required to have $11,000 submitted and processed in my support account in order to stay on the field and keep serving Him. At this time I am $1,942 short of that amount.
I am choosing to trust in my good and faithful God's plans and provision, believing that if He wants me to continue on this journey that He will make it so through the calling and convicting of His people (that's you!). If you feel Him lay it on your heart to partner with this mission, for the first time or once again, you can do so in 1 of 2 ways. The first way is through doing an online payment by clicking the "Join My Team!" tab to the left and following the instructions. This way payments only take around 3-4 days to process, BUT there is a 3% processing fee tacked on by card companies, so a small portion of your gift will not be received in my account. These gifts can either be given one time or monthly, whatever you are feeling led to do. (By March 1 I must be fully funded with all $15,500, so if you do decide to do monthly gifts, you can set it to end after that date.) The second way to donate is by sending a check written to Adventures in Missions with Erin Shepherd-World Race in the memo line to P.O. Box 534470 Atlanta, GA 30353. Gifts given this way may take up to two weeks to process, BUT there's no fee, so every cent goes straight to my support account. The choice is yours 🙂
Also, don't forget to SPREAD THE WORD! Talk to you family, your friends, your neighbors, your church missions board, your hairdresser, your mechanic, or anyone else you can think of and see if they would be interested in helping. Let's not limit God by limiting our resources!
I want to end by expressing my thankfulness for all of you again. EVERY gift, no matter how big or small, is making an eternal impact in lives all around the world. Because of your contributions, the love of Jesus is being shown to so many who may have otherwise never known of it and that brings so much joy to the heart of the Father. Thank you all so much and please contact me with any ways I can be praying for you!
"We continually remember before our God and Father your work produced by faith, your labor prompted by love, and your endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ."
-1 Thessalonians 1:3
