Just want to give an update regarding my fund raising: I have reached the $2,000.00 mark. Praise God! I still have $6,000.00 more to go before February 9, 2010.
The journey so far has been incredible. I say this before I have even left the country! God has taught me so much through this fund raising experience. I feel an overwhelming sense of support as I receive checks and letters in the mail from family, church members, and friends. God is teaching me about community in the body of Christ. Support raising is not about simply getting the money I need to participate with YWAM; God is so much bigger than that. He uses each and every gift to unite us in the body of Christ, blessing many as we respond to the call of Jesus.
Kit Engel has graciously opened her home on January 23rd, 2010 from 1:00pm to 5:00pm to have a fund raising party for my trip. The Lord placed it on her heart to gather us all together to have a fund raising effort just two weeks before I leave. I am very excited about this and would love for you all to be there! I will be there to answer any questions you may have regarding my trip and to celebrate with you all that God is doing in my life. Please bring any friends or family members you think may be interested in coming :)
Thank you for continuing to support me on this leap of faith to grow in the Lord and serve his people. Hope to see you all on the 23rd!
Love and blessings,
Stephanie
