I have to talk about support, aka money.First and foremost let me say that
I do not enjoy: A. talking about this stuff, or B. asking for help. I come from
a long line of “do it yourselfers” and it just doesn’t feel good. But the truth
is I can’t do it myself. Without God’s provision through other believers I
wouldn’t be where I am right now- literally. So thank you so much to those who
have been praying and have already supported me.
Your support has allowed me to
reach people in Ukraine, Romania, and Ireland so far! This month I’ve had
opportunities to witness to people on the streets of Ireland, paint for a drug
rehab center, hand out tracts on the board walk, and to help in the ministry
contacts home. We’ve had opportunities
to speak with people from all walks of life about their beliefs, and to tell
them about Jesus. I had one conversation with a man in Dublin city center that
touched my heart. He had listened to the message, then asked me what I thought
about it. I told him I agreed, and that I was a Christian. He wanted to debate
on who God was, if there was a hell, and where he would go when he died, which I
thought was a very challenging conversation. He said he believed we just “were”
and that religion is brainwash, and that there was no way to know. I told him I
believed that he could feel God tugging on his heart, and asked him to read the
tract and think about it. Although I’ll probably never know what happened in
this man’s life, I know that I got to plant a seed in his heart, and that’s all
that matters. God will do the rest. I hope while reading this God’s tugging on
your heart too. Im traveling the world, reaching the nations to tell them the
truth about God, and so are you. You are reaching the nations.
So- I’m just a little behind in my
support raising. AIM gave me grace and let me leave in faith that this money
would come in. So far God has provided (I’ve
raised $7,046 to be exact), and I’m going to continue to believe that He
will provide. That being said, if people don’t move when God calls them to, and
I don’t raise the money, I could get sent home. September is almost here and im
supposed to have $11,500 in my
account by the middle of the month, so im about $4,454 away from the goal. I know that sounds like a lot, but
anything is possible with God! (Remember, I appreciate your donations of any
size, and love you so much!)
So you’re probably wondering “what can I do to help??” Well I’m
glad you asked! I need 3 things:
1. Monthly
supporters, people committed to helping me over time
2. People willing
to do fundraisers
3. Daily prayer
If you
are interested in becoming a monthly supporter and partnering with me long
term, please email me at [email protected]
or click on the “Support me” tab located on the left. You can enroll in
automatic deductions. I totally understand
that not everyone is able to give financially, which I listed numbers 2 and 3. J Also if you know
someone who would be able to give, please direct them to my page. Just to reiterate-
I appreciate everyone’s help SO MUCH, and
know that God will bless you for the blessing you’ve been to me. The Bible says:
2 Corinthians 9:6-11
6Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly
will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap
generously. 7Each man should give what he has decided in
his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a
cheerful giver. 8And God is able to make all grace
abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need,
you will abound in every good work. 9As it is written:
“He has scattered abroad his gifts to the poor; his
righteousness endures forever.”[a] 10Now he who
supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase
your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness. 11You
will be made rich in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion,
and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.
SOOO… now that we’ve gotten that over with, look forward to
more fun stories and pictures next time! Love you all
<3
