So God told me to thank my financial supporters in a special
way. After calculating my whole trip cost, I divided it by the number of days
and came up with a number. That number was $42 a day. Yes, even the day that we
flew from California to China was $42…cheap, huh?!
So everyone that donated financially, they were put on my
list with an ‘account balance.’ I listed everyone in the order that they gave.
Then each day, I would deduct the next $42. Some days, there would be two
people or even three people that donated to that day. Does that make any sence?
Here is the list: (it’s an organized mess, b/c i know EXACTLY what happened here…haha
Each day I journal’ed a page of what I did that day. And then when I came home I sent them the page(s) that were for them.
This was the start to the note:
You are too kind and too nice
and too good to me! Thank you so much for your financial support! I (obviously)
could not do it without you J It makes me think of 3 John 1:5-8: 5 Dear friend, you are
being faithful to God when you care for the traveling teachers and missionaries
who pass through, even though they are strangers to you. 6 They have told the church
here of your loving friendship. Please continue providing generously for such
teachers in a manner that pleases God. 7 For they
are traveling for the Lord, and they accept nothing from people who are not
believers. 8 So we ourselves should support them so that
we can be their partners as they teach the truth.
It also reminds me of what
Matthew 10:40-42. It basically says that you will be rewarded [in Heaven] with
the same rewards that I get. So all the opportunities that God gave to me and I
was faithful with, YOU will receive that same reward also! Snap! That is legit!
So yeah, thank you financial supporters! This is my way of
honoring you.
