This page contains my budget, which has been relentlessly picked over on my part as an effort to remain the very most cost-effective I can be without putting myself in danger to be 12 hours from home and without enough resources. As Haggai 2:8 says, all the silver and gold belong to the Lord, and because of this I am reminded that I should not allow myself to lose any sleep over this financial issue, especially when I know He will supply all my needs according to His riches in glory (Philippians 4:19). I am also assured through the faith that God will not call me to a place where He will not provide a way to get there. That being said, please inquire of the Lord and consider how you may help me reach my goal. I strongly encourage you to visit www.ihop.org before you pledge any financial donations. Commitments to prayers for me are just as important as funds, if not more so. I realize that not everyone has the means to support me through finance, but your prayers have the power to open doors to me that will send the necessary funds by other sources. Nothing is impossible with God!
In the next 8 months, I am believing the Lord for 200 donations of $50 or more, which will be more than enough to satisfy all it will take for me to make this big move. If you feel that you could help in this area, please let me know. I thank you and bless you for your consideration and interest!
Blessings to you through Christ Jesus
