I’d like to first thank everyone who has donated and supported me on this journey so far. God is incredibly gracious to me and He has shown that through all of the encouragement I have received from you all.
Many of you who have read previous blogs know that I have deadlines to meet. It would be a huge blessing to me to be able to launch in October being fully funded. I need YOUR help to do this. If you want to become a part of my mission to bring the Gospel to these 11 countries here are a few options.
——————————————————————————————————————————
1. ADOPT A DAY! (The One I’m Most Excited About!!)
This idea came from a fellow racer, but I love it none the less. The cost of each day on the race is a little over $50/day. Adopt any day (or two!) during my WR mission trip for just $50 and I’ll share with you exactly how the day was spent and how your donation made a difference. This helps me keep in touch with you personally while I’m overseas! I’m wanting my planner to be filled with names of family, friends and strangers as motivation to be a witness that day! I feel like knowing that someone specifically financed that day for me will be such an incredible reminder of the support system I have here in the states! When you donate directly into my account with the “support me” button let me know which day you choose and I’ll mark it down in my planner! If you just have a specific country in mind you can let me know and I’ll tell you the dates I have available in that country!
2. ADOPT A COUNTRY!
This one is kind of like the Adopt a Day fundraiser, but instead of getting a detailed account of one of my days you’ll get a brief overview of the month. To do this, pick one of the 11 countries I’m going to, let me know, donate $100 and get a post card from that country! I am going to Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia, Philippines, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Malawi, Ukraine, Romania, Albania and Greece. Here is how you can help! Remember! All you have to do is claim your country, let me know and donate $100 to sponsor me in that country.
3. Pledge-A-Thon
My squad and I have decided to all participate in a pledgathon on June 18th in our own locations. Everyone will either be running/walking, biking, or swimming. I am choosing to bike because this way I can run my dog Chewbacca’s energy out at the same time. The way the pledgathon works is, you can donate a certain dollar amount for every mile completed or a set amount for the whole thing. Whether that be $1 per mile, $5 per mile, $10 per mile, or $25 for however many miles I get, etc is completely up to you.
Please let me know if you would like to participate and how much you would like to pledge per mile. I will send an email to everyone who participates at the end of the day on June 18th regarding how many miles I completed.
4. Simply Donate
If you feel led to donate, please feel free to simply do so. Although I have many fundraisers going on, it is okay to just simply give. You can do that by clicking the “Donate!” button. Truly, every donation makes a difference – it’s more than you donating, it’s me knowing that you’re here for me, praying for me, encouraging me and believing in me.
5. Share My Blog
Sharing my story and my blog takes only a few minutes and would help me so much! If you feel led to support me in this way through sharing it with your friends, I would greatly appreciate that as well.
Till Next Time,
Kara Faber
P.S. I also have a few (not many) extra t-shirts available if you would like to order one. They’re $20!!
P.S.S. Training Camp for the World Race is only 11 weeks away and I launch in 18.5 weeks!
