Adventures WorldRace SethBarnes Sponsorship Giving

| by archiveworldraceblogs

I’ve been meaning to ask you something…



…Oops… I meant to say, “I’ve been meaning to ask you FOR something.”



Well… here it goes, I am really asking and really writing an entire blog about this.  I even tried other ways of doing this and it didn’t really work that well. But first there are a few things I need to get out before I ask for money: 



1. If you’re new here, feel free to ignore this. (If you are new please check out some of my posts)


2. If you’re old here, feel free to ignore this.



3. Please be aware that this is my least favorite part of being a missionary. (I hate the word missionary sometimes… we are all “missionaries” and because I am at a “leadership academy” some people don’t see this as “missions.” That’s okay though, I will continue to meet people and tell them about Jesus as I live my life =) 



4. Know that I wouldn’t be writing this post at all if I didn’t feel like this is something I was supposed to have written months ago but didn’t, and now every time I try other ways of asking for money or writing about something else I feel a little guilty of asking or not asking directly.  So now I can’t put it off any longer.  



5. I mentioned this not being enjoyable, right? But I really hope you understand deep, deep down that this is the woooooorst part of the whole gig for me.  (who really likes to ask people for money and be dependent on others… especially when they have been able to provide for their own in the past? Yes, it sucks but God has used this to break me of a whole lot of myself) 



*deep breath, here goes nothing*



And yes you know I am a missionary. Yes I attend a leadership school as well. Well, as you know a missionary sometimes does have to ask for money. As I mentioned earlier, it is as bad as it sounds. BUT I really do believe in it and in what I am doing. 



And I truly believe that the people who support me financially should hold tightly to that “nice feeling” because the gifts that they give so that I can be here are changing peoples lives for the better. I know this to be true. I’ve seen it with my own eyes, I’ve read the emails and witnessed peoples lives changed throughout the world. It is real. And it’s worthy of every dollar spent to make it happen. 



All of that, to say this: I need financial help.


If we lived in the states I would have  job to provide for myself. Can’t really do this here for legal reasons. This is kinda what I need help with 





1. G42 Leadership Academy
I am here in Spain under the leadership of this academy. I love it. It is teaching me incredible things but it does cost money. It is $1000 a month, which includes food, housing, and classes. Without it, I wouldn’t be here and wouldn’t be doing what God has asked. 



2. The “B” word… BUDGET 

I came here thinking that it might be like last year when I traveled the world for little to nothing… yeah right this is Europe. It is more expensive than the states.



3.  Going home 

I do eventually have to go home and soon I will have to buy an airline ticket back to Tulsa. The cost of oil is going up and so is my ticket. Lame, I know. 


So, I’m just gonna throw this out there and hope that we’re all still friends afterward:


Would you please consider making a donation to me and this ministry here in Spain? 



There’s an easy to use, friendly looking PayPal option, right here! Or you can past this link http://www.g42leadershipacademy.org/donate Then you will want to click on the intern support button. This will take you to a new page that is a G42 secure donation portal through Pay Pal. From here there will be two options for those with a Paypal account and those without an account. 


With PayPal account:  input your donation amount and then hit update total.  You then will be taken to a new page where it will ask you to sign into your PayPal account.  You will then be taken to a new page and it will ask you to review your donation.  On the line where it says your total donation to your left there will be a button to click that says name of intern.  Click it and type in Brittany Grant.  Once you do that hit donate and you are all set.

Without PayPal account:  input your donation amount and then hit update total.  You will then be taken to a new page with your donation amount up top and at the bottom left of the page a statement that says “Don’t have a PayPal account?” then there is a continue button next to the statement. Click it.  You will be take to a new page where you can input your donation amount and the information of the credit/debit card you would like to donate from.  After inputing your information click review donation and continue.  You will then be taken to a new page and it will ask you to review your donation.  On the line where it says your total donation to your left there will be a button to click that says name of intern.  Click it and it will give you a box and you can type Brittany Grant.  Once you do that hit donate and you are all set.
