CHALLENGE: COMPLETED!
… And then some!
PLUS, it only took SIX days!
“I tell you, you can pray for anything, and if you believe that you’ve received it, it will be yours.”
Mark 11:24 NLT
As of Wednesday, May 6 at 5:00pm, I have $13,859 in my World Race account. Praise the Lord! I have prayed and believed that I will be fully funded before launch because I would like to experience the Race without the distraction of fundraising while on the field. Maybe this is a selfish prayer, but the peace I have continuously felt since I made my public announcement in December has been astonishing, and God has been moving! In my last blog I wrote that some people write-off the World Race because fundraising $16,277 seems completely insane and impossible, and it is, when MAN is in control… BUT GOD. HE is in control.
I have been blessed with a challenge, and I am extending the challenge to YOU!
If WE can raise $600 by May 21st (the day Training Camp begins), I have a donor that will MATCH all donations, up to $600. If you do the math, that’s $40 per day of this 15-day challenge.
There are Racers that do a fundraiser asking for a specific amount of money so that their donors can “spend a day on the Race” alongside of them. Racers do the math and divide their total goal by the number of days they are on the Race, then they ask for donations of that amount. I have always thought that was a pretty creative idea, but I never spelled it out that way for my donors.
Well, here’s the ironic part… This challenge essentially does just that! When you do the math, a day on the Race costs just under $40- food, medical insurance, travel, etc.
I will be resetting my fund bar at the top of my blog to track progress towards raising $600. All donations between today and May 21st will be matched (up to $600) for a total of $1,200. If we succeed, I will only be $1,218 away from my TOTAL GOAL! Insert all kinds of emotions here.
Please prayerfully consider supporting me financially. If you would like to make a donation on my behalf, please click the orange “Support Me” button at the top of the page. Please check out my Support Letter if you would like further information about financially supporting me.
Joyfully yours,
Mary Catherine
