Great News!
I am over half way funded!! I am overwhelmed and blown away at the support I have received from everyone so far and I am so grateful. It feels like Christmas every time I open my account and see how close I am to actually going on this trip. I did not really discuss my actual fundraising deadlines, but now seems like a good time. There is a deadline before training camp (in May), one before I leave for the trip, and two more while I am actually on the field. At this point, I have already reached the first two deadlines! While the final two deadlines are not due until I am in the field, my goal is to be fully funded by the time I leave in July. I am confident that with God’s help this is possible.
FYI: Donations made by credit/debit card no longer include the processing fee! So if you would prefer to send funds that way there is no additional cost.
Prayer requests:
- Training camp dates are official. I will be at training camp from May 21-31. This will be a time of preparation for how we’ll be doing life on the World Race and I would appreciate your prayers while I am gone.
- That I would not freak out over the amount of things I need to do in order to leave the country next year. Between support raising, buying gear, researching immunizations and medications, figuring out what I am going to do with my belongings, and still trying to keep God at the center of everything, I have been a little distracted and frustrated at times.
- For continuation of support-raising. I am overwhelmed at how far we have come already, but there is still a ways to go before I am fully funded. Pray that others would join with me in this adventure and help me to be fully funded.
If you know of anyone who would love to participate in this journey with me please feel free to give them the link to my blog! I also have business cards with my blog and support info if you would like to have some of those to share.
Thank you again for your support!
