Today, my first official supporter joined my team. A dear friend of mine was the first to commit to financially supporting me throughout this next year. As we talked about the upcoming year, I was reminded of the first time we met and how much has happened since then. She was my small group Bible study leader my freshman year of college, and has supported me through the best and worst of the last three years. Her faith is admirable, her character remarkable, and her friendship highly valued in my life.
As she signed the paperwork, I had a revelation of sorts, a simple one. Support raising is all about allowing your friends to continue to support you, allowing those with your shared vision to invest in what God is doing, and joining together with those you care about for a common purpose. The thought of raising $2,500 a month by August 1st is intimidating and challenging, and I quite frankly don't know how it is going to be accomplished. Yet, I do know this: God is faithful and it will get done... and part of that is because I have the support of amazing people. As the Beatles sing, "I get by with a little help from my friends".
Thanks for being there for me! =]
