Well as you all may know, fundraising is not the most exciting process. Some people are pretty natural at it, others aren’t and I’m probably somewhere in the middle. I’m very pro-active, but I’m really not good at it whatsoever (asking for money isn’t easy for anyone). Especially in these slow summer months, I’ve felt uneasy not really knowing what I can do to raise money. Last night was a tough night, but as I talked on the phone with my encouraging friend Andy, he reminded me why I am here and why I am doing this. My stubborn heart has been trying to run away from the thought of leaving for 11 months. I’ve actually been avoiding it as much as possible because even talking about the world race has been hard lately. Anyway, to cut to the chase my supporters have been extremely generous and I have been going at a pretty steady pace. Still, in my head I was trying to figure out how many journals I need to sell to reach my goal (that would be a lot of journals haha) and everything seemed pretty out of reach. Last night I was at $12,743 of my $18,017 goal. This morning I woke up to a donation of $5,274, THE REST OF WHAT I NEED. Which means, I am FULLY FUNDED.
Praise God!! I want to thank everyone who has donated financially, this money is sending me on a life changing journey. Not just for me, but hopefully for the people I come into contact with as well. The whole reason I am doing this is to change lives. There are so many who haven’t heard the good news that Christ is real and wants a relationship with them, and I’m called to be that voice. Thank you all, from the bottom of my heart, for helping send me on this journey!
I will still be selling journals and T-Shirts, and still be accepting donations for gear, and petty cash for when I am traveling but if you want to donate in this way you will have to personally send me cash or check! Do not donate any more to my world race account, because I am FULLY FUNDED!!!!!!
Philippians 4:19 – And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in Glory in Christ Jesus.
