Adventures WorldRace SethBarnes Sponsorship Giving

| by archiveworldraceblogs

Here's a brief update on my fundraising in the last month or so. I have collected an additional $150, bringing my grand total of $1940! This is puts me little over half way to my first deadline of $3,500 by May 5! Here are a couple of other things that I would like for you to be aware of:
  • My online store front is officially open! There are several t-shirts already available and I will be adding a wider variety of items in the coming days! I will earn a percentage of every purchase as commision that I will put towards the cost of my trip.
  • As always, for those who would like to give but aren't sure how there are several ways:
  1. You can send me a check made out to Adventures in Missions (it's a 501(c)3 non-profit organization so your gift is tax deductable!), and I can forward it on to the main office.
  2. I can give you support card for you to send with a check to the main office at your convenience. (Note: It is strongly recemmended that you do not send cash in the mail.)
  3. In the grey bar on the left side of this blog there is a link that says 'Support Me!' that will take you to an online giving form.
  • There a few prayer requests that I would like you to keep in mind going forward.
  1. Pray for donors. I have begun to feel somewhat discouraged recently because I feel like the donations and support hasn't come at the rate that I was hoping that it would. I could really use some peace and assurance that the amount that I need will be provided.
  2. Pray for my attitude. I feel like this discouragement has begun zap my motivation. With there being just a few months left before I plan to leave I need to get as much raised as I can while I'm still in the States.
  3. Pray for health. Part of preparing for this trip is getting shots and the last thing that I need is to have an adverse reaction to one of them. Plus, I'm not really a big fan of needles.
  • Finally, please continue to keep these deadlines in mind going forward. Remember that these amounts have to be in my account by the day listed, not just pledged, so it is best to send your donation a few weeks before each dealine so that there is plenty of time for them to get processed and applied to my account.
  1. $3,500 – Due 5/5/2012 (2 weeks before Training Camp)
  2. $6,500 – Due 6/17/2012 (2 weeks prior to leaving for the field)
  3. $11,000 – Due 10/1/2012 (End of 3 months on the field)
  4. $15,500 (full amount) – Due 1/1/2013 (End of 6 months on the field)
As always, thank you to those who are praying as well as those who have already given.
