The Crossing Church has given over a million dollars towards these endeavors and challenges that are being faced in India right now. I would like to invite you to partner with me and the Crossing in doing something about the fact that there is a hurting and dying world out their that has no hope.
I was asked to raise support for the trip and there are a number of ways you can encourage me as I step out and do the things that God has put on my heart.
Here's what you can do:
1. Pray for me and the trip. (this is the most important)
- pray for hope for the people of India
- pray for safety throughout the trip
- pray for new life in Jesus Christ with the people we interact with
- pray for understanding for any conflicts or problems we come across
- pray that the culture doesn't shock us too hard, we want to be respectful of their culture
- pray that I, and my teammates grow spiritually through all of this
- pray for the poverty of India as a whole (the water, the food shortages, the lack of access to education and healthcare)
- pray for the leaders in India that we will be closely working with
- pray for the projects we will be constructing (a large wall around the Compassion Child Development Center)
- pray for the sponsor children as some of our team will be meeting their sponsor children
2. Give me encouragement and support
- reading the blog and posts
- commenting on the posts your thoughts and prayers
- sharing with your friends and family about the trip
3. Help me reach my financial goal of $3000 through a tax deductible donation. There will be many ways for you to help donate towards the fund. Along with all of your help I am saving as much as I can, but so far, it doesn't seem like I alone am going to make the cut. You can help in these areas:
- Giving me the opportunity to earn money in:
- doing odd jobs (yard work, planting flowers, etc.)
- babysitting
- taking Christmas or Family portraits (I'm a photographer)
- tutoring (I'm good at Math and writing/editing essays)
- buying my jewelry and dream catchers that are made and designed by me
- Donating using a personal Check:
- to ensure your contribution is tax deductible, please make checks payable to The Crossing and DO NOT write anything in the memo section of your check. All Contributions received will go towards making this trip possible and any funds raised above and beyond the trip expenses will go towards furthering the Outreach Ministry of The Crossing in conjunction with our partners.
