SUPPORT (verb): 

1. bear all or part of the weight of; hold up.

2. give assistance to, esp. financially; enable to function or act. 

 I can't travel to 11 countries in 11 months without SUPPORT. I can't do it without the SUPPORT  of my Savior, and I can't do it without the SUPPORT of the family, friends, and strangers that He has placed in my life. God is a relational God, and He created us in His image. In this life we are called to love and serve one another, to encourage each other and hold each other accountable. I am asking this from you, and it is my hope to bless you in the same ways as well.

It is my hope that you will prayerfully consider acting on my behalf, in prayer, in word, in deed, and also finances as I embark on The World Race. Thank you for your SUPPORT!

How to SUPPORT me in PRAYER:

  • Pray that I continue to seek God's will today, tomorrow, and every day after – before, during, and after the World Race.
  • Pray that I may rely on God and not my own strength, that I trust in Him and not lean on my own understanding (He sees the big picture 🙂 . 
  • Pray that I am able to meet all of my financial deadlines that enable me to embark on this extraordinary mission trip – and that I let go of my pride and am humbled through this experience. 
  • Pray that I will be used as a blessing  to each person I meet in each country that I travel to.
  • Pray for my entire squad and my future team as we are all in the throws of planning/preparing for the World Race.

How to SUPPORT me FINANCIALLY

A big impacting factor of my ability to complete this mission trip is finances. I need to raise by way of my own income and through the generous help of others, $16,285 (It was previously $15,500, but I have also purchased international travel/medical insurance through AIMS and am fundraising for this coverage as well). Thankfully, there is a financial deadline breakdown that makes the financial aspect a little easier. 
Financial Deadlines:

  1. $3,500 due by September 28, 2013
  2. $6,500 due by December  18, 2013
  3. $11,000 due by April 1, 2014
  4. $15,500 or $16, 285 (the full amount) is due by month six, July 1, 2014

It is my hope to be fully funded before I launch onto the mission field on January 1, 2014. Any donation is tremendously helpful and greatly appreciated. * I will post another blog with specific donation information.
