a little update & praise ~ training camp, graduation & summer reading

Hi dear friends & partners in the work of the gospel!! 

It’s a cozy, rainy morning over here in Virginia ~ my windows are wide open, peaceful music is playing in the background, and I’m cozied up with my favorite fluffy blanket, doing my last little bit of homework **ever** !!! Oh man, that is W I L D 

I walk across that graduation stage in 6 days!!!!! 

ALSO!!! training camp is officially ONE MONTH away !!  (June 5-15)

How wild!!! Time is flying!! 

At training camp we will get a real idea for what the next year is going to look like- I’ll meet my team, listen & learn from wise leaders, sleep in tents, study, prepare, pray, all in preparation for LAUNCH in 88 days!!

I am so excited!

ALSO FUNDRAISING

I wanted to send out a quick little fundraising update and a great big THANK YOU for your bountiful support, and most importantly a huge HALLELUJAH to the LORD for continuously providing for the places he has called us to go! 

Oh, He is faithful! He is good! isn’t He? May we sing his praises!! 

 $7,500 LEFT TO RAISE!!! 

WOW ~ WE have come so far, with about $11,700 raised so far! Hallelujah!

 

My goal is still to be fully funded by my birthday- July, 6!!! 

TWO MONTHS AWAY — WE CAN DO THIS 🙂 

 

To meet this goal ~ I’ve brought back the adopt-a-box to provide an easy way to partner with me, as I go for a year to proclaim the name of Jesus & his Kingdom come!!!!

How to do it:

1. Pick a numbered box that has not been colored in

2. Donate the amount of money equal to your number ~ for example, is you picked box 70, you would donate $70 ~ you can donate through venmo/cashapp: $earthyannie or right here on my fundraising page!

3. Lastly, message me which box you chose and your favorite color!

When it’s complete, it will be a beautiful, colorful mural representing all of you incredible people who partnered & sent me to Mongolia, China, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda, Bulgaria, Romania, Albania, Greece! Hallelujah! 

 

Lastly, I want to share a sweet little blessing with you from the past week: 

 

In the middle of doing homework this past week, I took a little break to dream with the LORD about all the things I can do once I graduate – the books I want to read, the mountains I want to climb, the humans I want to spend time with … & so I made a list of books I want to read this summer~ 

 

A few hours later, I found a Barnes & Nobles gift card in a wallet that had been missing for years!!! so curiously, I go online and GUYS I got to order every book on my summer list I dreamed up earlier with the LORD ~
