Mission Trip Prayer Request - Finances
In signing up for this mission trip, we decided to step out in faith. We did not have enough funds in our budget to just pay for the trips. Instead we decide that we would pay for part of the trip, but would raise funds from our church, family and friends for the balance. Our church was very generous and chipped in a major gift. In addition, we have had several friends and family members make generous gifts. Because this is two trips that we are doing, we are still around $1500 short of our goal.
I fully expect that the funds will come in. Josh is just getting ready to send a few letters out. In addition, I have still not heard back from several people to whom I sent letters. While I don’t expect a 100% response, some of the people who I have not heard from are people that I expect will be willing to chip in.
Finally, on Sunday, I am scheduled to talk about the trip in front of the church. The church will allow members who want to contribute to designate a gift toward the mission trip.
If anyone is reading and did not receive a letter, but would like to contribute, it is easy to do. You can mail a check payable to Christ Community Church. A couple of posts ago, I posted about the new church website. You can get the address from there.
Please pray that all of the finances will be taken care of. I hope that this experience will teach Josh and me about generosity, and about God’s provision. Pray that there will be no stress about the cost of the trip.
Thanks for praying.
