So far what i know about the American worldrace route from January 2019- November 2019:
*NEED TO FUNDRAISE A TOTAL OF $8,000
– (need $1000 by january 12th launch).
Thats $24.24 a day (and covers food, lodging, car gas, insurances, and ministry related supplies).
*MADE A LIST OF NEEDS/WANTS:
-need to fundraise for the route
-want a personal fund of $520 for personal ministry and self care/down time – and will post for additional misc. desires :’)
***WRAP stands for WorldRace America Project***
***and the wants amounts are a one time thing that i am planning to use during the 11 months – unless specified “monthly”)***
*I will be posting my fundraising link soon!
*Please start praying for me and my team (12 people) for God to prepare the way, the route, for safety, and for provision! – personally im dreading fundraising again, but SUPER pumped and excited to ask people to join me this next year on this journey!
I experienced something really special in having a group of people traveling with me in a personally involved way this past year, and its something id like to have again this next year!
However, i want to do it a bit differently.
I still plan on blogging weekly/biweekly and also posting videos.
ADDITIONALLY My desire is to add a specific group of people who are my financial supporters to a biweekly email where i talk about:
– this “never the less” goal i have for this year and what the Lords teaching me and what im struggling with
– some deeper specifics of how the trip is going/looking (good and bad)
– some interactive questions and answers between me and this group. If they answer my questions and i answer theirs then i feel we will develope something that goes beyond just having readers who are reading my blog.
Its not going to be a HEAVILY INVOLVED thing. Its going to be like “id love to know what word would describe your week so far! Text me at (my phone #)” or something like that.
The first person to text me answering that biweekly question will recieve something in the mail from me that week!
I want us to be involved in something concrete together. And i want this form of involvement to keep me updated with you and you with me in a way that holds me accountable to something and helps me feel you guys are in this with me.
It will help me pray more specifics for you, and you me.
If you want to be part of that core group, there are a few specifics that id like you to do as that core:
1. Be willing to pray for me at least 3 times a week (and that means at least read the prayer requests in my email ill be sending out). Pray for a few seconds – im not asking for hours of intercession!
2. Be willing to be part of the email that goes out (that will be seperate from my blog). So give me your email address! And send me your prayer requests when you have some, send me pictures, send me funny stories about your life or something! Even if you do that just once in the 11 months it will mean so much to me!
When i lived abroad for 5 years i believe i only recieved 2 letters the entire time….it was lonely not hearing from people!
And although i did not respond to every comment on my blogs tjis last year – whenever someone commented on them, it meant so much to me, because it was like getting a little piece of mail that someone took the time to send to me! So thanks to everyone who ever commented on any of my blogs! :’)
3. Be a financial support for me. That means a one time gift of at least $727.27 (that is one whole month of support for my year! And id like my group of people to have an investment in my trip), or an ongoing monthly amount (just for the 11 months), no matter how small!
In turn, i will commit to:
1. Praying for you at least 3 times that week (so send me prayer requests when you have them, no matter how “little” they are!)
2. Sending out a special email to you about behind the scenes stuff (stuff i dont share on my blog)
3. Asking a bi-weekly question and sending the first person who answers (by texting me) something in the mail!
.
Q: What is my never-the-less goal?
A: we have so many choices in life, and a few years ago i realized that i didnt want anything less than what God had for me.
My never-the-less goal is that i would live in such a way, never choosing the less thing, but always the more God has for me.
.
Will you join me?
Will you be a N-T-L lifer?
I would love for you to join me!
I will be gathering the emails you submit with your financial contribution to my trip for the email ill be sending out starting as soon as i have my first group of people and my first deadline of $1000 raised! (You can donate at the top of my page!)
I really need $1000 before January (9th of possible!), and eventually a total of $8,000!
Beyond the need, i am asking for supporters of my wants! Right now i have planned (you can see in the picture above) a total of $520 for the year.
That amount needs to be sent to my paypal account since all the money that is donated on this page cannot be used by me personally for anything but the NGOs designated items: food, lodging, gas/transportation, insurance. Thats the $8000 amount.
My paypal can be donated to by going to paypal and using my email:
And donating to me in that account!
That is the only money i will have personal access to!
Thanks guys! Im really looking forward to seeing how and what God does in AMERICA!!!
