Seeing God provide for my team/squad and their stories!
Going and asking our squadmates their perspective and asking the question
where did you see God move? Prep, pack, fundraising…..
Super encouraging! God is amazing!
Fundraising
Given $3000 before coming to launch and am now fully funded—Laura
Gear from tuner knob on D string on guitar was broken, but the owner at the music store gave a new knob for free, so I could bring the guitar on the trip—Laura
I can feel him with people giving. The people that I think have the least give the most. God is so excited to have us this year. Like I can feel his spirit and it’s exciting!—Hudson
March was a deep spiritual warfare battleground with fundraising and less than $200 came in. Jesus and I had a moment together, and the first weekend in April about $4000 came in—Shannon
God moment. Wanted to reach $13,000 before launch…needed $600. The same day I posted the need, $1200 came in that day..—Macky
Ready to go, but didn’t realize I wasn’t ready to leave—Macky & Michaela
90ish% of my gear was bought or given to me from God through friends and family—Shannon
I saw the Lord move in my fundraising through connecting me with people from as far back as my elementary childhood with people supporting me reminding me how I have always wanted to pursue missions—Jordan
I saw God move in fundraising by all the many many people who stepped in to support me! Even the people I don’t know! There is one time I was getting random donations from people I didn’t know, and soon I found out that there was another person with my same name fundraising too. And I was getting her donation. Once everything was fixed and the donations went back to her I even had one of her supporters reach out and donate to me anyway! So cool God!!—Ashley
God is still moving in preparation for this trip. My eyes are widening to what He’s doing. He’s allowed for a closer conversation with my brother that I didn’t have before. I saw widows give their last dime to this trip and am expectant for fundraising to continue fruitfully.—Katrina
God provided exactly what I needed, no more no less. He is teaching me to grow in my faith— Courtney
Four of our squamates are fully funded!!! (YAY!!!!)
Receiving donations from people I didn’t expect that I only had one conversation with but they donated even more than I expected. My parents have seen how the Lord has provided and it has grown their own faith and knowledge of Him—J
I didn’t realize how much God was going to reveal with fundraising. How to not compare with other teammates and just resting in the fact that He called me to this and He will provide everything—Michaela
Preperation
The whole process was semi challenging. I would say the most challenging part would be overcoming my laziness and desire to do nothing. I would say I don’t feel prepped… but then again I don’t think you can ever be fully prepped. So from that perspective, I’d say I’m just trusting God and seeing what happens more than anything. Allowing myself to be uncomfortable in the mystery. Fundraising is ongoing but it was actually semi easier than I thought it was going to be. It was really cool to see the people who donated cause some of them were super random! And packing ya know I got no idea. I will say what I have in my pack and backpack are non-negotiable according to me but its Full.—Haily
A little update on what’s going on right now…
Arrived in Georgia yesterday for my storytelling/leadership training with my family. My emotions are everywhere and they come in waves however today Launch begins and it’s exciting! I can’t believe I’m here! I could not have done it without you guys who have joined me on this journey. Currently, I’m at $15,193.00 Amazing!!!
