Support =
I sent out 160 support letters and also the first
Newsletter.
From these letters I have received support from
70 different people!
Also a large number of people have been praying for me and encouraging me in
other ways.
These are just a few of the many amazing ways God provided. They range from little to big, yet each was an answer to prayer and done in obedience. THANK YOU
- The recent $1,000 and $3,000 donations that were given that provided the remainder of my funding.
- A fellow camp counselor gave majority of all his earnings from working this summer with me.
- Missionary friends were faithful in giving even when they themselves must raise their support.

This year I won a McGowen Courage Award. The award is given to local high school students who demonstrate tenacity, courage andstrength in overcoming disabilities and circumstances. The award was given with much grandeur and many blessings. This included a check for 750 dollars from the Richland County Foundation that is to be used to further education or dreams. I was able to put this money towards the trip. Thank You Jesus!!!
- I
am a teachers aid in a third grade classroom. One of the little girls told me that she has her family pray for me every night at dinner. She even
saved up $10 of her own money and gave it to me in support.

Secondly, a friend of mine who tragically died 4 years ago had a scholarship
fund established. His mother had been praying about what to do with the last of his
money. God lead her to give the money to me! A verse that was
highlighted at his funeral was John 12:24 where Jesus says “I tell you the
truth, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a
single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds.“
In this small
way his life is going to affect more people then he ever realized.
I am so thankful for all of these people.
I thank God that little by little he pulled the support in from
some many various places.
Thank You to all who gave even $1 they added up to the $10,000 I needed… thanks be to God
Thank You to all my friends, family and supporters for your helping in what
Jesus is doing in my life.
THANKS MOST TO JESUS CHRIST FOR PAYING IT ALL
