Category: Support Raising


Hello July!

Here’s where I am as of today:
5% Monthly
34% One Time/Special Needs

“Let us hold fast to the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who has promised is faithful.”
–Hebrews 10:23

I really enjoy the book of Hebrews. I just finished reading through it last week. I especially like the last 5 chapters – so encouraging!!

So support… It has picked up some in the last half of June but definitely not enough. I feel like I need to work a lot harder than I am but I am not sure how exactly to do that with the amount of contact information I have left.
Would you pray that I get appointments with and referrals from people who’s contact information I do have left? Appointments and referrals are a huge part of support raising.

The last two Fridays I have made dinner for some friends at my parents house. It has been wonderful seeing friends and just hanging out with people. I think I forget how much I loved living among other students and believers in Oxford when I am away from them for a while, mostly because I like being at home right now. I am hoping to be able to see some friends again for the next two weekends.

There’s not too much to report on today but here are some encouraging highlights from the last couple of weeks:

  • Seeing support come in from people who originally did not think they were in a place to partner with me for the upcoming school year
  • Three monthly supporters in the last week!!
  • Having two wonderful friends come in from Indianapolis for a few days and being able to connect with  friends who were in Europe on Summer Project
  • I scheduled an appointment to share my heart about my ministry with a guy

Again, thank you for your interest in my ministry and for reading my updates. Please continue to pray with me for my support to come in by the time school starts on August 23, 2010,

It has been a month since graduation. The time has FLOWN by! I just got my actual diploma in the mail this week :)

Graduation Day at Miami University

Our report date for Miami University is August 1. This means that August 1 is our goal for being fully supported. As of today, I am not too far along. I am at 1% for my monthly goal and at 15% for my one time goal. I am trusting that the Lord will provide and I will make it to campus on time. This week was a really good week. I saw my one time support double!!

The challenge so far really is finding monthly supporters. Would you join me in praying for the Lord to put monthly support on peoples’ hearts?

Every other week my team has a video conference call. It is really fun to get to see and talk with everyone and hear about their lives. I am really enjoying getting to know the other six people. Also from Miami are 7 people going on a Short Term International (STINT) trip to Fiji and 1 person going to Crusade’s Headquarters in Orlando, Florida.

That’s everyone with our support coach Ryan Elliott.

I hope you enjoyed the pictures! Thank you for your interest in my ministry and keep praying!!

“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.”
Jeremiah 29:11-13
