Hello, hello, hello!
I wanted to post this again because I’ve had a few questions about finances on the race. By the grace of God and many generous contributions, I am fully funded. This means I have the finances secured through my sending organization to complete all 11 months of the world race. Yay! Extra contributions since completing my goal are rolled into the general fund at Adventures in Missions, where they will be used to support the vision of “mobilizing a generation of radical Christ followers, discipling and training them to establish the Kingdom of God”.
I actually finished my fundraising a while ago, but I think there’s been some confusion. Many people are still raising funds to continue the rest of their trip; As such, the world race blog template includes a “Support me” button large at the top of the page. Additionally, it shows a bar of how much support is needed. When looking at my blog page from a mobile device, it cuts off the amount that I’ve raised (which surpasses the amount needed by two dollars) and only shows how much total I need. This might have been confusing. Sorry about that!
So! Thank you so so very much for your contributions. I am seriously blessed to feel so secure in that area and not have to be trying to raise funds while on the field. With that said, several of my teammates are still raising money. We have deadlines every couple of months, and we just reached one. Two of my six teammates are still a little under the necessary amount to continue on the race. These are people who I’ve lived with, traveled with, served with, cooked with, and learned with the past three and a half months. If you feel inclined to give them a little nudge in the right direction, either in finances or prayer, it would be great. Here are links to their blogs:

Thank you for sending me, encouraging me, and staying up to date with me on this journey! Please don’t hesitate to contact me with questions/thoughts about finances or any part of the race. I want for us to all be clear and on the same page.
With love,
Nat
