I can’t believe I’m actually writing this blog.
And by “this blog”, I mean the blog that will likely be the last one I write state side. I’ve gotten a lot of questions about supporting and what exactly is happening, and so I want to address a few of those first so you will all be in the know! 🙂
I am flying out tomorrow at 12 p.m. to Washington D.C to begin training with the other squad/team leaders. Tuesday, the rest of G-squad will arrive, and we will continue training there for the next few days there until we fly out to our first location: Bulgaria!
To contact me while I’m gone- add me on skype (cduron55) or click the “Talk to Me!” link at the left of the page to email me. While you’re at it, click the “subscribe” button and type in your email to make sure to get updates!
Support: The Lord is so good. I am getting closer and closer to being fully funded! If my monthly supporters continue to support me through December (I have to be fully funded by then), and once a few other things come in, than overall I only have a little over $1500 left to raise.
At this point, every little bit counts. Seriously. I am praying for big things to happen the next few days before I leave American soil. 🙂 It is absolutely possible. (Hey, people told me raising $15,500 was next to impossible, but look where I am now!) To put this in perspective,
If 15 people donated $100,
30 people donated $50 or
60 people donated $25.
Or if 10 people committed to $25 monthly donations for the next six months
….I would be there!
How do you do that? Well, very carefully. Just kidding. It’s actually super easy. On the left of the page you can click the “support me!” link to donate online. (You can set up monthly donations this way as well). There are also instructions on how to send in a check directly to AIM. *note- there is a small percentage taken out of online donations.
Honestly… one of the best parts of this whole process is my supporters. It’s the people I get to share my passion and heart and stories with. It is the people who believe in me and much more importantly, want to partner in bringing heaven here to earth.
I want you guys to be a part of this journey the whole way. I want you to hear my stories of heartbreak and struggles, as well as the victories and joy and celebrations. I don’t know how to thank everyone who has supported me. It is impossible. Not only have you given of your finances, you have prayed for me and encouraged me and fought for me. I have never felt so loved and supported in my entire life, by people I know and by people I have never even met. You have made this happen!
The last thing that I would love to ask you to consider before you go is to become a prayer warrior for my team. If you read my training camp blog, or looked at the pictures down the side of my page, you know I am part of a team of 6 other beautiful women who make up Team O.I.L (overflowing infinite love)**.
**Also known as the people who are going to bring the oil of joy and gladness and the Holy Spirit to the ends of the earth. 🙂
AIM has this really cool setup of a program where anyone can "adopt" a world race team. Basically, all you do is click the "Adopt a Team" link on the left side of my page. You then fill out some contact information, put our teams name (O.I.L) in the box, and that's it. AIM will communicate with you and give you updates from our team and specific ways to pray for us. A very simple thing to sign up for, but not a simple task- prayer is the foundation of this entire movement!
I will be writing a part 2 soon….or tomorrow. 🙂 Keep a look out!
