Hey guys! I just want to give you an update on where I am financially and spiritually as of today, December 16th, 9 days before Christmas.
The past three months on the field have been amazing. Don’t get it twisted though, it’s also been really hard. I’ve been in the fire, walked through it, and am walking into another one in this season.
I know God has big things in store for my team and I here in Guatemala and I am so, so excited to see what he does & share it with you! I have four-ish weeks until my final deadline, and I need your help to reach it.
Three nights ago two girls on my team spoke over everyone on the squad that wasn’t fully funded. They said they believed we would all be fully funded by Christmas (woah, short time I know, but I serve a big God, a miracle working God that does the seemingly impossible).
How can you help?
I need people to be praying for me and with me- praying that the Lord would open doors for me to share the gospel, that I would be bold in my faith, and that I would be filled with faith in believing his promises. I need serious prayer that this seemingly impossible ask would be fulfilled in a way that is so glorifying to the Lord.
I would love more people praying for me. I’m so grateful for all of you who already are! Right now I’m at 37 subscribers for my blog. I know most of you are praying for me, and I want to say thank you so much for that!! Prayer is the most important tool for fundraising and supporting me spiritually as my fundraising deadline is quickly approaching, so know that I appreciate it greatly. All it takes is faith the size of a mustard seed for God to move big time.
How can you help specifically?
If each one of you asks another person to subscribe to my blog and be in prayer over me, that would mean I had 74 people praying for me for specific needs. That would be absolutely incredible!
My goal is to be 100% funded by Christmas. That means i need to raise $3,357 in 9 days.
How can that happen?
I am currently at $12,443 which is only $3,357 away from being fully funded! Praise the Lord!!!! Thank you so much to all of you who have donated. With everyone who has donated once (55 people), donated a second time of $31 and asked someone they know to also donate $31, I would be fully funded! I would just encourage you to ask the Lord if he’s asking you to donate. Ask the Lord if he’s asking you to give again. No amount is too small, and each donation will bring me closer to my final goal.
Goals for this week : 1) Become 90% funded by December 20th and 2) have 74 people subscribed and praying for me and those on my squad that aren’t fully funded. If this could happen between now and Christmas, I would be so overjoyed. I have seen the Lord work already in such big ways it is mind blowing. I know God can do big things, and I believe he will do them for me too.
I can’t stress enough how grateful I am for each one of you who has prayed for me and donated. Thank you so incredibly much for partnering with me in this. I will keep you all updated this week!
All my love,
Melissa
