Hello everyone! As I have been working on gaining support from family and friends it is truly incredible to receive such thoughtful responses and see progress being made. I am absolutely blown away by how so many people are willing to follow me on this endeavor and support me with prayer, love, and donations! Speaking of which, thanks to your donations I have now raised just over $1000! That's super exciting! I can't explain how much it means to have you guys in this with me, it shows me that this isn't just about what lies in store on the 9 month trip but also an opportunity to connect with people right now and see God's work! Being able to receive such generous support and willing engagement shows me how good God is and it causes me to marvel and praise him for his work in this journey. Not only that, but it also inspires me to keep working hard to continue on this support-raising journey and stay committed to reaching out to more people and keeping up with you all on this blog! Wishing you all the best.
