Hello!
First of all, I just want to express how thankful I am for all of you and the support I have received over the last 9 months! Never in my life have I felt more excited, anxious, terrified, ready to go, and unprepared (haha) in my life all at once! In ONE MONTH (30 days to be exact), I will be joining the rest of my squad in Gainesville, GA for nearly two weeks of training and preparation for the upcoming 11 months on the mission field. Then, in LESS THAN THREE MONTHS, I will be launching on the World Race and spending the next 11 months living radically for the Lord, loving and serving people around the nations, and living in community with my squad of other young adults from all around the US.
I can’t even put into words the excitement I have for this next season of my life- an excitement that grows and grows as the days pass. I’m excited to meet my squad and do this all with them, reach the unreached, see the Lord work in people’s lives, experience the many different cultures around the world, and grow so much deeper with God.
With training camp coming up, my second financial deadline is also approaching. I am still building my team of ministry partners to help pray for me and financially support me! I am 44% funded which is absolutely amazing, but that also means I still have 56% of the finances left to raise! With all of that being said, I have quite a few ways you can partner with me and I thought it would be extremely helpful to have them all together in one list!
How can you help???
“Believe in the Change” jars
Claim one of these jars, or start your own to fill up with any spare change/dollars and return it to me (or deposit it into your bank account and then make a donation to me online through my blog) once your jar is full.
Choker Necklaces
I’ve got an awesome friend who is super crafty and has been making these choker necklaces. They are $10 each, and ALL profits go toward my world race! String options are black, light brown, and dark brown. The closure is a silver clasp. Designs are as shown in picture (the colored beads come in all colors), and each necklace is made to order.
Sacrifice your Starbucks or Ditch your Dunkin
If all of my facebook friends gave up coffee (about $5) for just one day and donated it toward my world race, we would only be $7,000 away from FULLY FUNDED!
Pray
Last but not least, you can help me through prayer! I ask that you’d pray for the Lord to continue providing, pray for the unknown, pray for the ministries we will be working with, pray for the lives of those we will encounter, pray for peace to be given to my family and friends while I’m away, and pray for the things that I don’t even realize at this moment that I will need prayer for.
And of course, if you simply want to just donate whatever amount you’re feeling led to give- you can do so right here through my blog page by clicking the “donate” button at the top.
If you made it to the end of this post, thank you again! Stay tuned for other opportunities to help along the way- as of right now, I’m not sure what those will be, but I am positive the Lord will throw some more creative ideas my way!
With love,
Hals
