THE FIRST FULL DAY AT LAUNCH! Ahhh. We got to hear some of our squamates’ stories of how God has provided in preparation, packing, and fundraising.
Seeing God provide for my team—
The stories!
Where did you see God move? Preparing, packing, and fundraising…
FUNDRAISING
“I was given $3000 before coming to launch and am now fully funded.” —Laura
“God moment. I wanted to reach $13,000 before launch and needed $600. The same day I posted the need, $1200 came in that day!” —Macky
“March was a deep spiritual warfare battleground with fundraising and less than $200 came in. Jesus and I had a moment together, and the first weekend in April about $4000 came in.” —Shannon
“I saw the Lord move in my fundraising through connecting me with people from as far back as my elementary childhood with people supporting me reminding me how I have always wanted to pursue missions.” —Jordan
“My gear from my tuner knob on D string on guitar was broken, but the owner at the music store gave a new knob for free, so I could bring the guitar on the trip.” —Laura
“I saw God move in fundraising by all the many many people who stepped in to support me! Even the people I don’t know! There is one time I was getting random donations from people I didn’t know, and soon I found out that there was another person with my same name fundraising too. And I was getting her donation. Once everything was fixed and the donations went back to her I even had one of her supporters reach out and donate to me anyway! So cool God!!!” —Annie
“God provided exactly what I needed, no more no less. He is teaching me to grow in my faith.” —Courtney
“I didn’t realize how much God was going to reveal with fundraising. How to not compare with other teammates and just resting in the fact that He called me to this and He will provide everything. God has used fundraising to teach me lessons in every area of my life.” —Michaela
“Receiving donations from people I didn’t expect that I only had one conversation with but they donated even more than I expected. My parents have seen how the Lord has provided and it has grown their own faith and knowledge of Him.” —Jen
PREPARATION
“I can feel him with people giving. The people that I think have the least give the most. God is so excited to have us this year. Like I can feel his spirit and it’s exciting!”—Hudson
“I’m ready to go, but didn’t realize I wasn’t ready to leave.” —Macky & Michaela
“God is still moving in preparation for this trip. My eyes are widening to what He’s doing. He’s allowed for closer conversation with my brother that I didn’t have before. I saw widows give their last dime to this trip and am expectant for fundraising to continue fruitfully.” —Katrina
PACKING
“90ish% of my gear was bought or given to me from God through friends and family.” —Shannon
“While I was packing my bag, I also prayed about what God wanted me to take with me emotionally. ‘What does God want me to unpack emotionally?’ I’ve slowly been unpacking things that God puts on my heart and it has really helped with lightening the heaviness of leaving.” –Michaela
