Friends, I launch (leave for the World Race) in just 16 days! But here are a few things I still need. SO many of you have already given so, so generously and my list is ¼ of what it was when I started. Thank You! I count my blessings DAILY when I think of your love and support.
….Would you partner in prayer with me for these few remaining things:
· Finances:
o I still need $7,500 in my World Race support account by March 1. Please pray, and if you feel led to give, click ‘Donate Here’ on the left.
o I am going to be $800 short of money I need to pay student loans while I am gone (the loans that cannot be deferred). Please contact me directly if you are able to make a contribution to me directly as opposed to my support account.
o A Schwabb Bank account. It’s a long story, but please pray!
· Stuff:
o An itunes gift card. I just got an iPod Touch (Thank You – you know who you are), but I don’t own any music and also need to buy a few apps such as money conversion and translation apps. Music is a MUST HAVE since the WR definition of ‘alone time’ is putting on your headphones and closing your eyes.
o Just a few things on my Amazon Wish List (search by my name to find my Wish List)
§ I LEAVE Sept 4, so it needs to arrive BEFORE then.
· Speaking
o I am speaking at Full Gospel Church in Livingston NJ on Wednesday night.
§ Please pray for me as I prepare and that the Lord will bring in those who will be blessed by the message He has given me to share.
· Fundraising
o WR recommends having someone act as a Fundraising Liaison while you are out of the country to continue doing fundraisers and spreading the word about what God is doing. I don’t have any one person who can take on such a big task, but if you would consider doing at least 1 fundraising effort while I am gone, that will enable me to focus 100% on ministry while I am away. Here are some suggestions to get your thoughts flowing….
§ Holding a sale: garage sale, bake sale, collecting items to sell on CraigsList or E-bay and donating the proceedes.
§ Posting my blog to your FB wall if something reaches your heart.
§ Giving a 15% of any ‘unexpected’ money that comes your way in the next 6 months.
§ Collecting recyclables from friends and turning them into your local recycling center for profit
§ Sharing stories from my blogs and asking people who are touched to donate $10 to help the work continue.

· Wisdom:
o I need wisdom in exactly what to bring
o I need wisdom in how best to prevent theft, and prayer for the protection of the Lord over my teams belongings. Please pray for protection and favor regarding our packs and daypacks, and persons :0)
o What last minute ‘lose ends’ to get tied up before I am overseas for 1 year. I don’t want to miss anything important.
§ I need wisdom regarding how to manage my student loans and finances with no phone, a qwerky slow computer, and unstable internet.
o Someone to act as power of attorney while I am gone and that it will not be a burden to them if something goes wrong that I need their help with.
