Hey all!
There is something close to my heart that I don’t want to say, but I feel it needs to be said.
I have been fundraising for about two months, and I currently have about $1,000 from donations, and I need $5,000 in the next 63 days or I will not be able to go on my trip.
I know for sure that this is where God is leading me, and I know that He is teaching me a lesson in patience. But sometime’s it’s frustrating that in my squad, I was one of the first accepted, but in comparison am the least funded. Every once in a while there is a message to our group about how someone got a $1,000 donation or they are struggling that they only have $4,000 or some number, and it steers me into a feeling of loss and sometimes I want to just give up. Sometimes I wonder what the point even is, but then God brings me back to Him, because it is all about Him.
I never wanted to be that person that was always posting about fundraising and needing money. I always kept my distance from that person because I felt guilty that I didn’t give anything, and I was hoping that by not being that person, but that isn’t working anymore. And I need to pull myself out of the equation. This actually has nothing to do with me, this is all about God and the people that need to be reached with His love.
I just ask that you will spend time prayerfully thinking about my trip and ask what God is leading you to do. I ask that you honestly think about supporting me. Donations, purchasing a shirt, helping purchase equipment. I ask that you share this post and partner with me in prayer even if you can’t help financially. I pray that each and every one of you reading through my blog will be encouraged by this. Shirts are $20 each, and 65% of that cost goes right into my fund. You can donate through the button on the top of this blog. You can also subscribe to updates on my blog through the link on the top of this blog.
I pray this will reach you from a place of humility. I am not asking for money to do something trivial or silly. I am asking for your help to spread the gospel to those that need it. I’m asking for you to prayerfully talk to God and follow His leading.
I am asking for help to spread the love of God.
Please share my story with anyone you can think of.
Please consider joining me in this journey, because I cannot do it without you.
Thank you.
