Eight weeks,
Matthew and I have eight more weeks to raise our support so that we can be on
the mission field in September. Some of you may be thinking, “September isn’t
in 8 weeks, so why do you only have eight more weeks?” Good question. We need
to be fully supported for three consecutive months before we will be released
to the mission field. We are hoping, praying, and asking for our monthly
support to be in by May 31st so that we are able to count June, July
and August as our three consecutive months—seems easy, right?
Now, you may
be wondering how in the world we plan on raising the rest of our support in 8
weeks?! Another great question! Matthew and I have created an eight week
challenge! This challenge was created to motivate us and those around us. We are going to work and pray diligently
for a new person/family to join our support team every day for the next eight
weeks. We have and will continue
making phone calls, sending emails, sharing our hearts and meeting with people for
dinner, coffee, etc. Our challenge technically didn't start until this past
Saturday, but we got a little head start because we were excited! So far, we have had seven individuals/families
pledge their support! Whoot whoo!! We are now bringing in 40% of our
monthly goal, which is $7,055 and have $13,500 (out of 19,800) of our start up
fund!!
What can you do? 1. Pray/consider becoming a monthly supporter. 2. Pray for our boldness as we ask others. Pray God will continue
to send new supporters our way! 3.
Let us know of anyone who you think may be interested in supporting us.
Ephesians 3:20 “Now all glory to God,
who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or
think.”
