REMINDER!

Hey ya'll just wanted to throw out a reminder to those of you who have spoken to me about being able to give financially for my trip.

First of all, thank you so much!!!! I truly am incredibly grateful for you being able to and answering God's call to give!!

If you still plan on giving my deadline is August 15. If you need to do it at a later date please message/text/call me about it. I just really need to know where I am financially for this trip. If you have given already please let me know. I do not need to know the amount I just want to make sure all donations have been credited to me.

Also, just a reminder that there is the option to give monthly if you choose to do so. I believe there is a way to specify that online; I know for sure you can if you do it through the mail.

I do have some good news! I found out (reread more closely rather) that I only have to have the first two months as well as training costs by this deadline. I just need to have the rest of it pledged before I leave.

If you cannot give, I understand. PLEASE be praying for God to bless this trip, not only financially but in every aspect of what He has called me to do. Also, that He would just provide opportunities to create funding.

If you know of anyone needing work done, and would be willing to donate financially as compensation please let me know!

In His Love,

Lindsey


Amount Needed by August 15: $5,000
Monthly Pledges Needed: $2,000 per month
Total Amount Still Needed: $14,100

UPDATE!

Hello!

So my garage sale went great!  God is SO good!  I was able to raise $750 from that fundraising event.  I currently now have $1,750!  That means I still need $14,250.  I realize that this is more than the number I had told you in the last post, I honestly don't know if I was just terrible with subtraction or what, but this is the correct amount remaining.  Please be praying for the funding to come through.  If you feel led to give the link is down below.  Also, if you know of anyone needing "odd jobs" (i.e. babysitting, house sitting, pet sitting, cleaning, organizing, etc.), who would be willing to donate the money they would have paid me to International Teams for my trip, please let me know!  I have 2 months left to raise the money!

I have finally finished my internship contract for my trip, pertaining to the University of Memphis.  I am also working towards the application for short-term missions at my home church, Central Church in Colliierville.  I am trying to really get ready for everything, I have about 3 months left until I leave for Italy, so be praying for God to provide and prepare in EVERY way.


In His Love.

UPDATE!

So I am really praying about my funding for this trip!  So far I have raised $900, leaving me with about $11,100 more to raise, but GOD WILL PROVIDE!  And I can't wait to see how!  Next weekend (June 25 & 26) I will be having a garage sale where all funding will go to my trip.  If you have anything to donate let me know, or just come to my mom's house if you would like to browse all the stuff :)  I have been able to get more prepared mentally and spiritually I believe as well.  God is revealing how to work with people of all ages, in situations I will believe I will encounter.  I have also figured out my room arrangements!

Please continue to pray, love you all.

In His Love,

Lindsey

Support!

Now that I have finished school I am finally able to put my complete focus on my mission trip to Italy!  Praise be to God for that season of life being over!  I have just sent out my support letters to 78 people!  I cannot wait to see what God is going to do!  If you would like to support me either prayerfully or financially, please let me know!

I am also working on the final touches of the educational contract for my nonprofit internship through the nonprofit administration at the University of Memphis.  My proctor has approved my mission trip as an internship since it is a part of a 501(c)(3) organization.  I'm having to work creatively with my proctor in Memphis as well as the the couple in Italy, Tim and Rachel Uthmann, who I will be working with.

Also, I am having a garage sale in Memphis, to raise financial support for my trip so be sure to stop by!  If you have anything you would like to donate please get in contact with me!  I am willing to come and pick it up or meet you if need be!


In His Love & Thanks for Reading!
