My desperate situation is: if I don’t have 5 thousand in my account by monday, I’m not qualified to be on the World Race Jan 09 squad.
I called my team coach to tell her where my funds were at. In the last week $120 went into my account but haven’t heard of any other funds coming in. At this point more fundraisers wont bring it in, in time. I currently have nine thousand dollars ,in pledges, in my world race account. If i don’t have 5 thousand (or a a significant increase) in upfront “cash” in my account by monday… I don’t go. My squad is one less person as well as team BLING one less member for the entire year. The decision isn’t final yet…they give us final chances to ask people to pray about giving.
I joined the world race because I saw a need. My heart is to serve, and that is what the world race is about. Helping build churches or rescuing people from the sex trade… digging wells in africa… or disaster relief in Haiti. All of them awesome ministries. All of them worthy causes. Fundraising has been my most difficult challenge this year. Money is always a sore subject in this economy. I often ask myself what it is about me… that people don’t give? Why don’t people believe in me? Its been a hard pill to swallow and down right discouraging. I’m not entirely sure how to answer myself. I have been through so much change in the last year… a constant refining. I have been through months of preparation for this… and then to come up sort on the other side. This has to be the worst feeling in the world.
This is my last desperate cry. Join me in making a difference! (click the “support katie” link to the left of the screen)
