I’m not going to lie. When I made the decision to try to raise $5000 in just over a week I didn’t feel full of faith. I felt more like I was testing God, and there were plenty of moments where I was completely freaking out and in fear about the whole thing. Like maybe I had the tiniest mustard seed of faith, but that was it.
Well, it’s a good thing God tells us that a little faith is enough for Him to show us who He is by responding with really big things.
I have been completely overwhelmed by God’s provision through you. My roommates can attest to my reactions as I’ve logged into my email and been notified of generous donations. As I’ve opened letters and been almost speechless at the incredible generosity of friends and family; at the speed and urgency with which people have responded. I’ve been so blessed by the words of encouragement I’ve received. I’ve been so blessed and humbled as I’ve realized in a deeper way than ever before….these dear people, you guys, really believe in what I’m being called to do. You really believe in me. You believe in, promote, and encourage the passions and plans God has placed in my heart. And that’s been really good for my heart.
Thank you, thank you, thank you to each one of you who has supported, blessed, and encouraged me!!
I am beyond happy, and still very much in awe, to report that enough financial provision has come in for me to pay for all of my tuition and plane tickets….and more….
…..I have been accepted to participate in an outreach trip after school is finished. This is a dream come true!!! I am in awe that God is working this out – not just the school, but also the open door to spend a month in a country I have been longing to visit – loving people and loving God.
I am in need of $1500 to completely fund my outreach trip. I’ll be honest, my faith is riding high on the recent testimonies of His provision and I am expectant to see how He will bring in provision in the incredible ways only He can!
