Hi everyone,

A thousand thank-yous to all of you who are praying for me, keeping up with me, and supporting me throughout this 11 month journey.  It has been my pleasure to give an update when I am able thus far and bring each of you with me on this adventure.  Please forgive me as it is hard for me to fully convey my “story” and all that I have seen, learned, and experienced (inconsistent internet doesn’t help the process either in posting blogs and updates).  Thank you for your patience in that regard.  
I wanted to give everyone an update on my financial support as the deadline to being fully funded ($14, 300) for this program is at hand.  Our final support deadline is July 1st, which is coming up shortly.  If I do not raise the full amount by July 1st, there is a possibility of being sent home.  At the moment out of $14,300; I am funded $13,680.  I have $620 to go.  
The Lord has faithfully provided me thus far, and I believe He will continue to provide for my every need.  I cannot praise each of you enough for the time and energy you have poured into supporting me (not just financially) in serving the Lord through this amazing experience.  
Thank you again for your love.
