So . . .
I'm a bit frazzled. I've got like a MILLION fundraising things going on that I'm getting confused.
And I thought then maybe that means people who want to support me, aka YOU, might be a bit frazzled too.
And while the whole frazzle hairdo is in right now, perhaps we should all take a deep breath and try to 'unfrazzle' ourselves.
In an effort to do that I am dedicating this blog post to (cue drumroll) ….
The (insert large number here) ways that I can help support Tasha on The World Race:
1) Pray. Pray. Pray .. and oh hey, pray!
The most important aspect of this journey is prayer support. Prayer for my team, my self, but mostly for the people we will be ministering too. Prayer for safety and provision. Prayer that it be His wills, not ours. And just prayer that I don't get attacked by a large spider – that would be nice to rebuke .. 😉
2) TELL YOUR WIFE, TELL YOUR KIDS, TELL YOUR NEIGHBORS, TELL YOUR CO-WORKERS, TELL YOUR FRIENDS! TELL EVERYONE!
Share this on your facebook wall. 'Like' my page on Facebook. Subscribe to this blog. TALK ABOUT IT. And if they have questions, direct them here. You can contact me through this website and I get back to EVERYONE ASAP.
3) Tell your church about my cause.
I'd love the opportunity to talk to your pastor, your community leader, your congregation, etc about the work the Lord is doing in my life. I believe that God calls for fellowship within a Christian community. I'd love to become a part of your church family and share with you the works that God will be doing on the mission field for a year.
If your church is interested in hearing more, email me ([email protected]) 🙂
4) Give a one-time donation or a monthly pledge!
As with most things in life, financial funding is a must.
You are able to support me financially by giving directly to the AIM (Adventures in Missions) fund on my behalf by clicking the 'SUPPORT ME – Only $XX amount to go!' tab on the left hand side of this screen (it's about four links under my 'default' picture).
You can also click here. There's an option to support me online using your credit or debit card, or a bank transfer (EBT). Or you can mail in a check.
You can give a one-time donation!
If you choose a monthly pledge, you can set up automatic deductions on your credit/debit card or EBT .. OR you can mail in a check every month. If have chosen to be a monthly pledge (yay!) please let me know through the contact me form on this page. 🙂
And please don't forget to put my name: NATASHA GRASS .. on ANY check that you mail in. 🙂
5) Donate unused airline miles, gift cards, or items to sell in my rummage sale!
Unfortunately travel to launch is not included in my fundraising total so airline miles would help me tremendously to get to where I need to go in January- and to get me back to Florida in early December.
REI, Kelty, Paragon, and the other 100's of outfitter stores that we DON'T have in Florida. Who knew? If you have unused gift cards (even with a $5 balance) to any of these places, and want to help – please donate them! I need gear like there's no tomorrow and every dollar helps.
Or if you have used gear, that is amazing too!
Rummage sales are fun, especially with REALLY cool stuff. If you have REALLY cool stuff, or not so cool stuff – whatever – and would like to donate them to be sold in my rummage sale, please let me know. ALL proceeds go into my World Race fund.
6) Purchase items from my fundraisers. . . it's like donating and walking away with a souvenir!
I'm selling baked goods by order, and believe me, God has blessed me with baking talents. I swear!
I'm selling homemade banana bread, and cookie-in-a-jar mixes. Both are great gifts for the holidays and the banana bread will definitely be a better crowd pleaser than fruitcake. 😉 Each item is $8 and they are made to order. You can find out more here.
T-SHIRTS! Who doesn't love a comfy t-shirt that is supporting a good cause?! They are on PRESALE RIGHT NOW.
$15 each
3 for $35
5 for $65
You can view the design here. It's going to be a white shirt. ALL PROCEEDS go to my fund for The World Race!
7) Donate your TALENTS.
I need videographers, fundraising people, gifted packers (no, really), great sales people (to help with the rummage sale), really strong dudes (to help move furniture), really strong dudes with trucks (to help move -anything really), writers, photographers, musicians – just about anything. If you have a heart for missions and want to help send me to the nations please, please, PLEASE, contact me and we'll utilize the talents that God has blessed you with. 🙂
8) Buy my stuff. Help me get rid of my stuff. Give my stuff away.
I have stuff. A lot of stuff. Some pretty floral print stuff. Some black, modern stuff. Some random stuff. Just stuff.
That I need to get rid of. So – if you need ANYTHING AT ALL. Like seriously – anything (movies, kitchen stuff, bathroom stuff, pillows, sheets, socks, toothpicks, etc) .. please contact me. Yes, I am having a rummage sale but if there's a need in your life – you get first priority.
Oh, and if you know of a family that is in need – please contact me or get them in contact with me. I have been blessed abundantly in life. I'd love to bless others.
9) Listen to your heart.
God is probably pulling your heartstrings right now. Maybe you have a gifting somewhere that wasn't mentioned or you want to donate in a way that I haven't thought of yet. Yay! God's ideas are so much better than mine. PLEASE contact me and we'll talk.
Or maybe He's telling you to donate in one of the ways I've specified or you want to give money towards something specific. That's amazing as well. Please listen to Him and allow Him to do a work in another's life through the gift that you give.
10) Vehicles.
If you have an extra vehicle sitting around, lounging on your driveway, or just taking up space – I need one to borrow for the next 7 weeks I'm in the states. In a pretty sorrowful and long uneventful story, I no longer have a car and still have a full-time job. While my friends and family have been AMAZING at getting me where I need to go, I feel that that isn't going to be able to work too much longer.
I'm willing to pay a renters fee (min. fee please?!) and I'll cover all gas, etc. It's a long shot but I thought I'd put it up here anyway
11) Follow my blog. Follow my blog. … and yes, follow my blog.
Thank you to EVERYONE that has already planted a seed into this harvest. God has already been providing and I can't wait to see how He uses YOU to help the lost and forgotten, abused and broken, of the world.
I love you all! <3 <3
