TRUSTING IN FAITH
Fundraising is one of the most humbling things I have ever done in my life. Because it’s too big for me. I am depending on God and the body of Christ to see that my needs are met. Which is a good thing because it builds and strengthens relationships between people as they say, “I see your post. I see your need. I’ve got your back and I believe God will use you mightily.” It also causes me to grow in the Lord because it all belongs to Him anyway. Money is not my source, God is my source. And He can make all grace abound. So with that said, I’m going to lay my heart out and say, no joke, I desperately need help.
Basically, these are my needs. I have to raise $7500 by the middle of August in order to launch. I’m praying for God to raise people up to be monthly sponsors, whatever amount that looks like. But one time gifts are great too.

THE TRUTH
The truth is I don’t like asking for help. I don’t like being needy. But I also know where the Lord is calling me and I love His people and have faith that if you’re reading this, that the Holy Spirit is going to move you to be one of those people I need.

Thank you for thinking Kingdom Minded and giving up that one run through a drive-thu to help send me to make an eternal difference. Life here is temporary. And for those of us who know Jesus, we have a hope that will never diminish. I have a passion to see people put their hope in Jesus. I have a passion to be there, in the pain, in the heartache of life and say, “Jesus is alive. And He loves you. It doesn’t matter how many mistakes you’ve made. You are loved.”
We’ve all had those times in our lives when we thought that we didn’t quite measure up to what God expected of us. Or times when we thought we’d failed Him and would never be able to make up for it. Or we’ve been scared to give everything over to the Lord because we didn’t know how He would change it. As one who speaks from experience, let me encourage you that if you know the Lord, you’re already out of the boat. You’re on the water. So radically trust Him. And He will draw you closer to Him.
I’m out in the middle of the ocean myself. No boat in sight because of this World Race that the Lord has called me on. So I know how scary it can be. But believe me when I say, when you seek Him, you’ll find you. Because your identity is in Christ.
Lastly, let me just speak grace over you. Grace over all the areas of your life. The Lord loves you and has called you with a purpose. If you’re reading this, you were meant to read this. So take a breath and rest in the fact that you. are. loved. And that God still has great plans for your life. So don’t be discouraged or weakened by stress. Take heart! He’s already overcome the world! Enjoy your life. Seek Him in everything. And while you’re doing that, please remember me… Be a sponsor. Help a sister in Christ out. And what you give here will stay with you much longer than that sonic blast and cheeseburger that’s my competition…
Blessings!
Sarah Buffaloe
