This is the sequel to a blog that I posted prior to launching on the World Race called “SOS I Have An FOF” which talked all about how I had a fear of fundraising (FOF). Here is the link:

So, here I am in the middle of month 4 still needing to fundraise in order to reach my last deadline of being fully funded by November 30th—I am currently a meer $870 away from my goal, with just eleven days to fundraise that money.
In an of itself the fact that I need to fundraise less than 1000 dollars in a little less than two weeks is a miracle. You see, going into this month I had close to $3000 left to fundraise and within two weeks God has multiplied His provisions towards me in such incredible and amazing ways that I have been left in awe.
I have been truly blessed by the way you all, my supporters, have rallied together to help keep me out on the mission field. You can ask my teammates—more than once I have broken out into tears over the generosity of people. And I can’t thank you enough.
An additional blessing has been the fact that I have been confirmed by my leadership team that my monthly donors will count towards me being fully funded as well, which is absolutely a huge blessing.
So lastly, I am happy to announce that I only have 22 boxes left to fill in in order to be fully funded! If you don’t understand what an Adopt-A-Box is, well it is where you “adopt” one of my boxes by donating the amount of money correlating to that box: i.e. box 32 is $32, and box 56 is $56, and so forth.
If you would like to make a tax-deductible donation to help me become fully funded by my deadline in just 11 days, I would greatly appreciate it and you can do that by clicking on the “Donate!” button at the top of my blog. Thank you very much!!
Actually I have one more think, I know I am running an Adopt-A-Box fundraiser, but since I have 11 more days left to fundraise, for my 11 month, 11 country mission trip, I am asking people to go and donate $11 dollars each to my site, because if I were to get 80 people to donate 11 dollars each (that’s roughly the price of two Starbucks drinks) then I would be fully-funded. Thanks!
