Matter of Thanks

We came home from our Thanksgiving celebrating and found letter in the mail that contained a check toward my Israel Trip! This was the maximum award for one of the grants I applied for through the CRCNA's Home Missions. The application was due November 1 and I hadn't heard from them one way or another. It was a very pleasant surprise to find a check and for the maximum amount!

Thanks for your prayers concerning this scholarship - please continue to pray that support will come in a variety of ways!

$750 straight from the CRCNA's Regular Account!

Updates:

It has been a few weeks since my last entry. The closer we get to the trip, the closer together I hope to blog. (The nice part is that gives me another 2 or 3 weeks before I have to blog again!). As much as I love talking and telling stories, blogging is still a mild struggle for me.


Updates:

-- Please be in ardent prayer for a particular possible funding situation. There is a scholarship-ish situation that, if all the details and specifics turn out, would provide for a large amount of the trip costs. Pray that conditions would be met and money would change hands...to me. It sounds a little vain, but this would take care of tons of fundraising.

-- I am also working on my support letter (I haven't finished it yet because I am waiting to hear back about a $750 scholarship for which I applied (different than the above mentioned opportunity)). I would like to include some successful fundraising results as part of my update in that support letter.

Thanks all!
