Alright guys,
I am currently at $4,529.56 of support. To those of you who have supported through buying a support pillow from My Cherie Amor Designs (on Etsy), buying a shirt or bracelet, or just sending support money, I cannot say thank you enough. I wish I could give you a great reward but I cannot. However, I do know that you will receive your reward in heaven, so that is going to be way better than anything I could give you anyway.
To John and Hope–You guys have been the only faithful monthly givers, and I have no clue where to begin in expressing my gratitude. You two are amazing people, and I appreciate your presence in my life, for numerous reasons, not least of which is because you're too much fun to pick with.
That being said, why don't those of you that read my blog do me a favor: Share this with everyone you know! Take it to your church leaders, I am not kidding, try and get your church to support me (I need it…0 Churches are currently supporting me), whether through a one time donation or a monthly one. We are the body, so lets hold one another up, Church. Take this blog to your bosses, employees, and fellow employees. Take it to your friends and your enemies (and then make the enemies your friends).
Here's the deal: I am issuing a challenge. Lets see if we can be over $5000 by the end of this week. that is 7 days to raise $470.44. I think God is more than capable of that. Isn't all the money His any way? So what is a mere $470 to the King of all things? Heck, What is $16,000?
If you'd like to give a tax deductible donation online, go here: https://www.adventures.org/give/donate.asp?giveto=worldrace&desc=For%20Chris%20Qualls and give your donation directly to my World Race account. If you would prefer to send a check, you can click the Contact link over to the your left of this blog and ask me for my mailing address. You can also purchase a pillow or two from My Cherie Amor Designs on Etsy, or contact me about getting shirts or bracelets. Finally, you can support by checking out my wishlist on REI.com (Its under my Dad's name–Carl Qualls), or you can get me a plane ticket to Atlanta for training Camp (check previous blogs, or contact me for the details.) This last one is crucial. My deadline for training camp arrangements is less than a week away, and I really need some help getting there. If your sunday school class could/would consider pulling together to make this purchase, I would be extremely thankful.
If your church would allow me to come by and speak to you about what God is calling me to as a 20 year old college student, I would love to do so. Share this blog with as many people as you can. Lets see what God will do with these finances in 7 days? I mean, since the God I know made all of creation in 6 and rested on the seventh, 7 days for this money isn't going to be a problem at all.
See you in 7 days, Church Family.
