I've talked a lot about the Dominican, but I haven't shared ways you can help. I will list some options for getting involved [if you choose], whether or not you have money. Let me make this clear right now: I put no expectation on you to give. As far as the amount I have to raise, it's very reasonable for the entire summer, and I know *already* that God is going to use my community of people to meet that need. Why wouldn't He use awesome people like you?

- The first option [my favorite one] is for the people who really want to give, but don't see how that is possible right now. You can invest your time. I would love it if you could send a letter[s], photos, anything inspirational. I love writing and I love reading [letters, that is]. You can send these anytime between now and June 1, 2015.

- The second option is giving through my GoFundMe Account. I have to raise $2,400 by May, not including my flights. I am doing outside fundraising for that. My GoFundMe page will talk more in depth of why I had the desire to go back to the Dominican.
- The third option [for now] is praying. I am not a good pray-er, but I know some of you who love it and are so gifted at it. I know God hears the requests of His people. I would love prayer for my heart---that it would continue to be rooted in Him, that material things would lose their significance over Him, that---at the end of the day---Jesus would be my prize, and that my love continues to grow for those who don't know Him.
This was an every day reality for me in the DR. Couldn't you just die? |
I will not fight You, take me past the line that my heart draws
I will not fight You, take me beyond the laziness of my thoughts
I will not fight, lead me further than I've gone before
God, let your dreams come true---dream through us.
