So I’ve been posting a lot about fundraising. So much so that you’re all probably tired of hearing about it. Why don’t we…talk about it some more!
Some of you have already given, are planning to give, want to give again, or just want to give in some way. Maybe there are some of you who are tired of hearing about it because you don’t think there’s a way that you can help.
It is no secret that I need bukus of help, money, prayer, stuff and encouragement.
When you see a sum of more than $14,000 most people (including myself) think, “Wish I could help. But what can I do? $10 won’t make a bit of difference.”
And that’s true. $10 is nothing in the face of more than $14,000. If you can’t give enough, why give at all…right?
WRONG! Ha, tricked you!
Let’s math this out a little bit: I have about 650 Facebook friends. I have a few followers on Twitter. Pinterest. Blogspot. Instagram. Goole+. Tumblr. Blah blah and etcetera.
Of all those people that this message reaches, that’s gotta be close to one thousand people in all. If ONLY 350 of those people gave a ONE TIME donation of ONLY $10, that would be $3,500! That meets more than this upcoming deadline AND gets me part of the way to my ENTIRE GOAL!
For fun, let’s say those 350 people decide, over the NEXT 4 MONTHS, to donate 2 times. $20 over 4 months? Or $5 a month. Yeah, that’s do-able. What does that come to? $ A WHOPPING TOTAL of $7,000! Do I sound like an informercial yet? Because I SHOULD.
You probably have an extra $5 of coins in your couch. A pocket. Your car. Hidden in your wallet. Left over from a paycheck. You get the point.
So if over the next 4 months, you think you won’t miss $5, $10 or $40, consider doing something with it.
You can give me $7,000.
In addition to $10, $20 or $40, there are plenty of ways you can support me!
-
Prayer (Petition God on my behalf, He owns all the money anyway.)
-
Encouragement (I’m not kidding. This is a biggie for me.)
-
Money (Obviously.)
-
Purchase my World Race t-shirt (when they’re available)
-
Advice/suggestions (camping, backpacking, ministry, missions)
-
Take a collection at your church or business (let people know there’s someone willing and able to go to the nations and just needs to get there!)
-
Buy items to donate (like a vitamins, my plane to Atlanta, my ticket home, a vaccination, or a gift card)
-
Using your business (Paparazzi, Mary Kay, all that good stuff)
-
Sharing blog posts, tweets and FB statuses (any and all social media goodness! Again, let people know that there is someone willing and ready to go to the nations for the Lord. I just gotta get there.)
-
Ask me. Have an idea? Don’t have any idea? I can help you help me help people!
Last, but certainly most important…
-
Have faith for me. (Not in me, but for me.)
