AMAZED! that is the only word I can think of to describe the fund raising process for this trip.
When I first started raising funds, I was so unsure of how I’d ever be able to raise $16,240. That’s a lot of money!
But from the start, God has shown me how present he has been in this process.
I can honestly say I have not raised any money at all. He’s raised it for me.
From the conversation I had with my pastor about speaking at church, to the generousity of people I never expected to donate, to anonymous donations that were huge, God has shown me that he can do all things. Even raise thousands of dollars!
He has grown my faith through this and I am so thankful that people responded when they felt they should give.
To each one of my supporters… I want to say THANK YOU!
Thank you for being so generous with your money. Thank you for trusting it to God. And thank you for investing into this trip and into my life.
I have been so blown away by your generosity. And challenged by it too.
I am grateful to be sitting here 100% funded for these 11 months on the field and know that God has taken care of me once again.
Love and Peace,
Hilary
(If you are still wanting to donate, one of my teammates Bailey Belenti is still raising funds for her trip. Please consider giving to her. You can give on her blog at baileybelenti.theworldrace.org.)
