Fundraising
All three words share something in similar, they are not fun. Which is ironic because the word fun is in all three.
But for reals fundraising . . . IT IS HARD.
I do not have an easy time asking people for money.
It doesn’t simply come natural and it takes me out of my comfort zone.
I can get nervous and tongue tied while talking about my trip or raising support.
However through this process I have grown and learned that fundraising is a vital part of a missions trip. Not only for the person going on the trip, but also for the people who send me on the trip.
God calls us to Love BOLDLY and that is what I am trying to do. That is also what the amazing people who are supporting me are doing.
If I did not ask for funds, not only would I be robbing myself of the opportunity to trust on God in this stressful time but I would also be robbing other people from the opportunity to Love Boldly.
As I mentioned it has been a stressful time for me lately. My first deadline, April 29th is fast approaching and I have not yet hit my goal. I am at $ 1,774 and still need $ 4,226.
Sometimes this seems impossible to me but that is the narrow limitations of my mind. I know that through God all things are possible.
My Prayer request is that Jesus provides for my financial needs and that I would trust in him.
Matthew 6:34
I have just sent out my letters and it has already been incredible, seeing the generosity of others. Whether they are family, friends, mentors, or complete strangers the common factor is that all of them are willing to Love Boldly!
