Fundraising / 03.05.10, 09:08 PM

$12,000. . .I did a double take the first time I saw that number. Even after accepting my mission year invitation, I am still not sure I can raise that amount.
I know God will provide everything I need this coming year, including the financial support. It just seems incredibly daunting.
I am feeling a little overwhelmed now because I have started throwing out ideas for fundraising, and am getting little to no response so far. I understand that the economy is terrible, and that people are donating money to so many things and they are being asked for money left and right. . .
Where does that leave me?
Completely and utterly reliant on God and His timing to provide for me.
It will happen, I believe and know that it is possible and God will display His glory in this situation just like He always does in the seemingly impossible moments.

  1. Hey girl, it will all work out. You still have time and like you said, God will provide. Keep thinking of new ideas and ask God to show you what could work. I’ll be praying for you and all this financial support business :) Good luck and God bless!
