Most of the preparation for the trip is going very well. I've been put in contact with the two missionaries in Ferrol, as well as with one of the girls I'll be working with. I've sent out support letters and numerous emails...and I've got a prayer base established. All of which are incredibly important. But one important aspect of my trip is pretty far behind...the fund raising. I know, the horrible word. Money. I hate that I have to deal with it in ministry, but that's the practical side of life. I need it to live. And since I'm a student who roams about quite a bit, I have to depend on the friends I've made along to way to support me on the mission field. Though prayer is by far the most important gift one can give to a missionary, finances is another way that friends can invest themselves in that ministry. If you put your money somewhere, you'll be more likely to remain interested in that issue. So all that to say...honestly friends, I need funds. My deadline is approaching, and I have next to nothing. I realize that it's tax season, and that wallets are tight. Even just a little bit from many friends will go a long way. I truly want my friends and family to be involved in this trip with me, and to invest in my summer ministry. :)
