Hello Everyone – We thought it would be good to give all of our blog readers some updates on the logistics of the next 2 months.
We just got back yesterday from a wonderful week in South Dakota with Marin’s family. We had lots of fishing, fireworks, and Sun. I (Brady) am officially done with work as of July 1st. In addition: Training camp is just around the corner. It goes from July 19-26 outside of Atlanta, Georgia. Flights were pretty expensive so we decided to make a road trip of it and will be leaving on Thursday the 17th.
We are currently in the process of renting out our house. We are hoping to have renters in on September 1st, which is the day that we launch. We will be gone for the entire 11 months (September 1 through July 31) and will not be back in the US at all during that time.
We are having a garage sale at are house in Circle Pines on the weekend of August 9th: If you live in the area and would like to donate any items please give me an email or text (763-360-2385). The proceeds will be going to support us.
In regards to our fundraising we are currently at 49%! We feel extremely blessed to be this far along already. Just a reminder to everyone that we don’t need to be fully funded before leaving. In fact, we just hit the August deadline of $15,000. However, we still are looking for support. Our next deadline is December 1st when we will need to have $22,000.
We want to say a special “thank you” to all of you who have committed to supporting us monthly. It is great that we know we have your continued support going forward.
We know that the financial sacrifices that many of you have made are very real, and we are humbled by this. We take your donations to heart and are so grateful that you believe in God’s vision for us for the coming year. We want to let you know that our goal is to be a good ambassador to your funds as we minister to others. We know that what we do on the field represents you as a supporter and we take that extremely seriously.
I hope to get a blog going on heaven shortly, and then, of course, we’ll have updates on training camp in a couple of weeks.
