If you think about all the "unnecessary" stuff you buy on a daily basis and add it all up within a month, I bet you would be pretty surprised on how much extra cash you have to spend on "unnecessary" stuff.
Why don't you take half or all of that extra money and invest it? Invest it in a good cause, a good reason. Maybe that one grande non-fat latte from Starbucks will go to a Thai woman's drink through the conversation I will have with her. Or that cheeseburger from McDonalds you pick up on your way home from work that you really don't "need" it just "sounds good" will go to a AIDS orphan child to help feed him/her with a bowl of porridge. See, I'm not going on vacation. I'm going to be working…Hard. Probably on some days, will be the hardest I'll ever work. And unfortunately, this profession doesn't pay you with American dollars. But with something far better than money. Not everybody has the resources or the love or will to do this work, but find it desirable when they see others do it.
Well, you know me and I'm that person. Sponsor me! Help me better others' lives by giving them food, friendship, hugs, etc. Let me do the dirty work, all you have to do is sacrifice your morning starbucks or fast food snack. One snack or coffee a week. I didn't say you couldn't drink your Starbucks coffee ever, but maybe give up your Monday coffee and donate that money to that child in Rwanda. Something so little as a sacrifice of a cup of coffee, can go so far for a child or person in need.
After you have prayed about sacrifice and supporting me financially, I ask if you can keep my team and myself in your prayers so we can conquer and face a lot of sacrifices along the World Race for our Creator and Savior. Pray for soft hearts and strong bodies. God will do amazing things through my team and I! Just wait and see.
I have financial deadlines I need to meet:
- $3,500 due 5/6/2012 (2 weeks before training camp)
- $6,500 due 6/17/2012 (2 weeks prior to departure)
- $11,000 due 10/1/2012 (end of 3 months on mission)
- $15,500 due 1/1/2013 (end of 6 months on mission)
Will you put down your Starbucks grande frappachino and join me on this journey? I really hope so! THANK YOU for supporting me, loving me, and for reading this!
God Bless you! xoxo
