First, I have to start by saying how incredibly blessed I am, by you. From day one I had no idea what this process would look like, or if anyone would really care. Then day two, God rocked my world by bringing me funding from near and far. He quickly brought me to my first and second deadline, he provided me with gear from family and friends, I was in awe. I am in awe.
A couple of times through this journey I have had to pick my jaw up off the floor. One of my sweet camp friends donated her tithe money, more than once. A really good college friend sent me a $50 check. A college student donated money and gear, repeatedly. I posted gear needs on Facebook and they were met in minutes.
You people amaze me.
…but there is still more.
I wanted to take a second to thank you for what you have done, what you have given. I am sincerely thankful. I also wanted to tell you what you could do.
Amanda I don’t have anything else to give… THAT’S OK!
1. Subscribe.
On the left hand side near the bottom you can enter your email address and subscribe. I work hard on my blogs, I don’t want to waste your time. I attempt to share what God is doing in my life and how I am processing it- and YES I will continue to blog on mission. If you subscribe to my blog you can do the best thing for me…
2. Share.
Share my blog, share my stories. Send it to friends and family who my be interested. Tell people about Adventures in Mission and The World Race. Tell your church. Be bold for me.
3. Pray.
Some of you do this. I know because I see God working and moving, and that is a result of your prayers. Here are some things you can pray over regularly.
My route
My Squad
My Team
The people we will serve
Fundraising goals
Safety
Growth
Challenge
My family
4. Ask.
This is one of the most helpful things you can do, it helps you share my story and understand what you are giving/ have given to. This also helps me know where my supporters are at and how they are feeling. Ask anything, I would love to tell you more. If I get good questions I can blog about them, so everyone gets answers. That’s what you can do! No money involved. I don’t want to run the people I love dry. I don’t want the people who have blessed me to think I do see, love and appreciate these gifts from the bottom of my heart. I also had to tell you I need more.
