I know so many people have been asking about where I am in fundraising and how much I still need to raise so I decided to just write a blog about it 🙂 Currently, I have $7,349 raised and that does not include the monthly donors who have faithfully committed to giving each month until I am fully funded! (huge thank you to them, they have been such an encouragement!). With that being said, I have reached my first goal!! Also with that, I still have a long way to go! There are a lot of people asking me what I will do if I can’t raise the money or if I do not reach my goals in time and to them, I say, “have a little faith.” God has never failed to amaze me with what HE can do. Since this calling was placed by Him, the funds are also provided through Him. I believe that when you give, you are not giving to me or to Adventures in Missions but rather that you are giving to the mission of God! (there is an exclamation point because we have an opportunity to be an active part of God’s plan and that’s exciting). I have no doubt in my mind that when God calls us to something, He doesn’t just leave us hanging, He comes through (even if it’s at the very last second). I fully believe that God will provide the money and I have no worry when it comes to that. So, I have been praying over my funds and I hope that you have to or that you will start now because as you know, prayer is one of the biggest factors in fundraising. To help each of us out with figuring out what to pray for, I have a list below of a few things we can be praying for!
– Reaching Goals: I have a deadline in August of $10,000 which means I need around $2,500 before I get there. BUT I am praying that I will be fully funded by the end of August so I would love for you to pray for that as well!
– Spiritual Readiness: Just pray that God will prepare my team and I to the best we can be and that we would listen to the Holy Spirit and go where we feel led. Also, that our time with the Lord would bring us so close to God and close to each other as well.
– Protection: I do not have fear when it comes to God’s leading because I know that His hand is over me but I would love for prayer against the enemy and against his schemes to kill, steal, and destroy.
Thank you all so much! I am extremely blessed by everyone who has given, I have all of your names in a spreadsheet and I am praying over each of you and thanking the Lord for you. I cannot ell you thank you enough because there are no words to show my heart for you but I am praying that God will bless you tremendously for giving sacrificially. THANK YOU!

As I was listening to the Lord about a verse to put on this blog, He told me to read Isaiah 6:8 so I thought I would share.
Isaiah 6:8-9 – And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Then I said, “Here I am! Send me.” And he said, “‘Go, and say to this people: “Keep on hearing, but do not understand; Keep on seeing, but do not perceive’
