Hey everyone! This is a fundraising update, but before you do anything make sure to read my last blog here so you know what’s going on and why I’m fundraising again.
I’ve just started a new fundraiser that will be ongoing until I’m fully funded. It’s call the the Buy a Box Raffle! Here’s a chance for you to win a prize from another country and support me at the same time. If you support me through this fundraiser your name will be entered to win multiple different prizes I’ll collect from the different countries I’m serving in this year. The prizes will consist of post cards, t-shirts, coffee beans, a painting, and a bottle of wine from South Africa. I might add more prizes along the way, depending on how well this goes.
Here’s how it works!
1. Choose any box to fill in ($1-$100, feel free to pick more than one number) and donate that amount by clicking the “donate” link to the left of by clicking here. Numbers 5, 9, 13, 22, 33, 38, 44, 51, 68, and 100 have already been taken!
2. The row of the box you donate on determines how many times your name goes in the raffle. For example, boxes 1-10 will get you one spot in the raffle, 11-20 gets you two spots, 91-100 gets you ten spots, etc. This means the higher the number the better your odds are of winning!
3. Comment or message me to let me know how much you donated, then I will fill in that box. I am so so thankful for your support!
4. I will do a live video of me drawing the names of the winners. This will take place once I’m fully funded or when this gets entirely filled up. Then I’ll reach out to you to coordinate how to get you your prize!
5. SHARE! Please share this post and the opportunity to partner with me throughout your networks. Every donation, no matter how big or small, makes a difference in helping me reach my goal of $6,500!
Starting the fundraising process over again can feel a little bit daunting, but I have no doubt that God will provide! Through fundraising the first time I was humbled and came to the realization that I can’t do this on my own, and God has given me a community of supporters to help. You guys supporting me (through prayer, encouragement, and finances) is a ministry in itself, and y’all are making it possible for missionaries to reach people around the world. It’s so incredible to tangibly see the body of Christ that we read about in scriptures at work today! I was able to see God move in huge ways through fundraising before, so I’m excited to see how He shows up this time as well.
I will need to raise a total of $6,500 and it will cover my lodging, travel, insurance, food, etc. (the same things it covered before). It does not cover any of the “adventure day” activities that you might have seen from my race, those types of things come from my own personal money. I ask that you all pray before deciding to support me, whether that’s with prayer, encouraging words, or finances. All are necessary and a greatly appreciated!
