gersh, I wish I had a quirky title to come up for this post…but I’m so excited and it’s hard to think at the moment =P
HUGE PRAISE!!!!!!!
ALL, I repeat….ALL of the $13,800 has been received in one-time gifts and monthly pledges!!! ahhhhhhhhhhhh! haha
This is such great news and a big relief. I seriously don’t know how to thank God and you enough for your generosity and support in sending me on this mission. I know times are tough right now, but your faith in me and the entire squad to do this hard labor means the world!
I’ve been trying to make phone calls to my supporters and most of you have prayer cards by now. I have a GoPhone these days and unfortunately I’m running out of $ to make my calls. The blog helps me reach subscribers and teammates easily, but please know I want to be able to thank all of you in person soon. Each person’s contribution is precious to me. I’m smiling BIG!
There’s more…so not only can I account for all the cost of the trip…but I will have OVER the 60% goal I needed in cash by Launch on the 31st! In fact, I will have 72% of the funds in cash by the time I leave the States. That is just amazing, a miracle…a mountain moved. I also have someone who will be paying for my vacinnations so that is a big help. I have all my gear and the last paperwork will be getting in to AIM on time. I’m in the process of finding a buyer for my car and getting the school loans situation handled and I’m confident these issues will work out too. Things are just so smoothly, there is much peace and excitement as I have three more weeks with friends, co-workers, and family. 🙂
I know that there are still people who have approached me about more giving (before I received the total funds), so here’s some options. There are members of the squad who are praying in much needed support at the last minute. Please, the squad isn’t whole without them so if you are still moved to give here are some people that could use your gifts.
