Over the past few weeks we have been organizing our big events for our fundraising efforts for NET. Today it was announced, to the congregation, that we are having our quiz night coming up. It's all go from now on ... fundraising to the extreme! Granted that today we only sold 8 tickets but people need to get their teams together. From this moment on I have 73 days before I leave to go to music training (if I am granted a place). I have to fundraise $10 per day from now. I may treat myself to a second job :)
It's such a great thing to do, to be able to spread the joy and love of our Lord, Jesus Christ to the youth, but right now it feels like a Mountain that needs climbing before I get there. The day that I can see the sun through the clouds will be a great and joyous day. $7000 isn't a lot of money spread over a year, including food, transport, healthcare etc but right now in less then 3 months that money needs to come from somewhere. Please, if you have room, put myself and the other 4 of us in your prayers for fundraising. In the midst of the cloudy fundraising madness, I know that God is watching and waiting for the most unexpected time and unusual place for me to discover the money. His timing is perfect. I have always been told by my dad that, 'Look after the pennies and the pounds will look after themselves' ... if you didn't already know i am originally from England so it's not a quote that I put into Cents and Dollars. Even if I can put away a little ibt of money every now and then I can eventually build up a lot of money! Yay, pray for that. God's providence will always come through so, really I should have nothing to worry about, but being in my human state I still do. Fundraising will be a humbling and team building experience for the 5 of us, so it should be fun!
