Hello Friends!
Here’s the thing… I have to fundraise for my trip. If you know me, I don’t like to ask for help. I’m pretty self-reliant (it’s one of my many sin tendencies).
That being said, God is calling me to move to dependence on Him to trust Him in new ways– one of these ways is asking you all for your help regarding financial support, prayer support, and encouragement in this season!
So Kels… how much do you need to raise?
GREAT QUESTION! I need to fundraise around $17,000 for my trip!
Here are the fundraising deadlines:
-July 22th: $5,000
-August 10-20: World Race Training Camp
-September 16th: $10,000
-November 13th: $13,000
-January 31st: $16,961
I’m late to the game, I know (read my last blog post The Story for context!)
That being said, I’m probably the most nervous about the first deadline because that means I have 21 days to fundraise $5,000!!!!!
Will you help me?
Ways You Can Help RIGHT NOW:
