Hi
everyone!
My online
giving page with Mercy Ships is all set up now, here is a link to it: http://mercyships-us.donorpages.com/crewmates/suzannes/ On this page it explains the options for
online giving or mailing a check to the Mercy Ships base in Texas.
Here's
what's going on with fundraising. As
most of you know, everyone serving with Mercy Ships is a volunteer who raises
their own support for crew fees and expenses.
To serve on the Africa Mercy for two years I will need to raise a total
of $25,000.
So, I
just need to ask for $1 from 25,000 of my closest friends, right!?
Here is a
breakdown of what the support will go towards:
1- Initial costs such as my training fees for
the two month On-boarding program, travel to the Texas training base, any
special vaccinations, etc.
2- Monthly needs during my two year
commitment. This includes crew fees
(room and board), funds set aside each month for travel, medical insurance, and
other practical needs.
So this
is me- stepping out of my comfort zone and asking for you to prayerfully
consider giving support. God is already teaching me so much through this
process, it really is a partnership and I am very thankful for all the people
who have already been so encouraging. I
know that God has led me to begin this journey- He opened the door for this
opportunity and it is my job to work hard and follow Him closely.
Now to him who is able to do
far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at
work within us, to him be glory
in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever.
Amen.
Ephesians 3:20-21
