So. I’m supposed to leave for Atlanta on January 7th. The only way I can do that is if I reach my $7500 goal in two days. I, along with my other squadmates who’ve not reached that goal, have been graciously granted an extension of two days. That’s right. That means that if I have not raised $900 by the 19th of December, I will not be launching with my squad in January. The thought of it is heartbreaking to me, because I know I’m supposed to leave in January with my team. The thing is, I can’t leave without raising the funds. I can’t raise the funds without people giving. I have invested all of the money I have to my name into the world race. The only money I have not put towards it, I’m putting towards my vaccinations (which are $300 total) minus my malaria medication because I can’t afford it.
So I’m asking you… if you believe in this mission, if you believe in spreading the gospel, if you truly believe and understand that there are unreached people who will die an eternal death without knowing our Savior, and if you understand and support me going out with my team to plant seeds among the unreached so that they might be saved, please give. Give $1. Give $100. Give $1000. The amount doesn’t matter. I just need people to give. That’s the stark reality of this. No amount is too big or too small. I mean it.
A lot of people haven’t or won’t give because they are afraid I won’t follow through. I’m in this, not because I want to be, but because this is what God has called me to. It’s going to be tough. It’s going to be frustrating. It’s going to be hard and painful, but amazing and eye-opening and breathtaking all at the same time. It is going to be overwhelming in both good and bad ways. But I’m not bowing out. I’m in this for good. I am going one way or another. If I could pay for it myself I would. If I had any kind of savings, I would put it all towards this. I am just as financially invested in this as any of my supporters. I am going to finish this race. I’ve already started it! But I need your help!
Please, please, please, please, please partner with me financially. All gifts are equally celebrated and appreciated.
