Hello again family!
I applied! I paid the application fee and sent a request for an interview on Thursday! Please be praying hard for favor and financial support! Which is what most of this post will be about!
I have been thinking a lot about fundraising (well stressing a lot actually) for The World Race. I know January is a long way off, but $15,500 is a huge and intimidating number. So at small group we broke it down! Here's the deal; if 1,000 people support me just $15 one time (JUST ONE TIME) I'll be right at $15,000! Just 15 dollars!
Still skeptical? Well I don't blame you! I have completely forgotten to give you actual facts about The World Race! Their mission, what they expect of me, how it all works! The next part of this post is now dedicated to just that!
What do we actually do out in the field?
Mainly we will be working with already existing ministries, but every day on the World Race looks a little different. Some days will be
packed full with construction, VBS, building relationships with orphans,
or praying for the sick at a hospital. Some days could be slower —
shopping for groceries at the market, cooking for my team, and
spending time praying for the communities I will walk through. Regardless of
the pace or the activity, every day will be focused on being a part of
God's kingdom work.
What do your donations cover?
The money I raise for The World Race will cover the costs for the
11-month trip. This includes meals, lodging, air, land, and sea travel,
administrative costs, set-up costs, coaching costs, debriefing costs,
and training camp costs.
Some of the things I'll have to cover on my own
include medical insurance, vaccinations, travel to training, travel to
the start point (in the U.S.), and travel home from a major U.S. city at
the end of the race.
What countries will I be going to?
The route I'll be applying for include: South Africa, Mozambique, Swaziland, India, Nepal, Malaysia, Vietnam, Cambodia, Ireland, Ukraine, and Romania. Routes are always up for change.
I will dedicate a post about how else you all can help after I find out more! I am so excited to start this journey! Please please please help me get on my way! Just $15! I'm pretty sure I could find $15 under my couch. In fact, I'm going to go look now!
I will post after I have my interview Thursday so keep and eye out! Oh I love and pray for you all! This is where it all begins!
