So, it's time to talk about mula!!! (which I would much rather avoid, but it's pretty necessary when you need to raise $15,500 in less than 5 months. gulp.)

Here's where I am at financially for this trip:

There is $403 sitting in my AIM account. 
I have one monthly supporter.

How much do I need?

$15,500.

Deadlines?

$3,500 – Due Oct 2, 2011 (2 weeks before Training Camp)
$6,500 – Due Dec 18, 2011 (2 weeks prior to your trip)
$11,000 – Due April 1,2012 (End of 3 months on the field)
$15,500 – Total Due July 1, 2012 (End of 6 months on the field)

What am I doing to get this money?

Well, I am moving back home to CT in August after graduating from the Honor Academy in TX [in two weeks!!]. While at home I will be working as a secretary at NEOPS (New England Orthotic and Prosthetic Systems) and teaching private cello lessons to save money towards this trip. 

I am releasing a CD called "Discovered By Love [EP]" on August 8th and will be selling them for $10, as well as playing at several coffee houses, churches, etc. to promote my CD and talk about my trip.

What can you do to help?

_PRAY!_
Before anything else, be praying for me as I'm raising financial support, that the Lord will open doors and provide in above and beyond my needs for this trip! (Phil 4:6). Pray and ask the Lord if He is leading you to join me in reaching the nations to share the love of Christ!

_DONATE_
I am in need of people to join my support group, not only in prayer, but financially. If you are able to donate towards my trip, you have a few options:

1. Make a one-time donation online or send a check by clicking here.

2. Make a monthly donation by setting up a recurring draft from your bank account or credit/debit card. If 24 people commit to donate $50 per month, my entire trip will be paid off! 

3. Buy a CD! Even $10 makes a difference. If you'd like to buy one of my CD's for $10, go to my band camp website to download it! If you'd like a physical copy of the CD, you can email me at: [email protected]

That is pretty much it! If you have any questions about my trip, finances, or anything else, let me know! Thank you so much for your prayers and financial support! 😀
You guys are A W E S O M E !
