Acts 28:31
Thanks for reading the last post! Or if this is your first time joining, be sure to check out the previous posts and the “Who I Am,” and “Get in Touch” tabs for more information. Last post I shared about becoming a NAMB applicant as a church planting team member and my final undergrad year beginning. I’ve had some confirming conversations about Calgary and this process of moving there. One of which was with a church planting catalyst for Calgary, Jonathon Thiessen. The other is confirming with my sending church about a bank account with the church through a bank that have posts on both borders. This Sunday is a big deal for me, I’m presenting to my sending church what the Lord produced in me while I was in Calgary and officially announce my plan to move there and support raise for the next year. If you’re reading this before this Sunday, please pray for me and pray for the church as we go through this process. This is a big step for in this process because I will now be able to openly share more about this support raising process. Over the next three years, I will need about $80,000 with over half specifically designated for seminary and housing the other $35,000 covers living general expenses, the break down by month and year will be in the third post. To help with this cost, I’m going to be selling shirts, this was posted I think in the fourth post, but recently I met someone who had recently started coming to our community group and she owns an embroidery business and offered to help me raise support by offering more options, like shirts, hats, even drawstring bags! Needless to say I’m looking forward to offering these items. The process will be an order gathering process and I’m looking for two specific things as far as what’s offered. For the T Shirts that I’ve shared I’m the previous post, I’m looking to sell at least 50, with about a 3 week turnaround at the most. For the other items i would look to gather a total order of $200 and then order, with a month turn around. Thank you for your continued support, next week I want to talk a little bit more about specifically, what the Lord is teaching me during this process. It’s a few things about dependency, trust, and the call to making disciples. I also plan to share a video of my presentation to my sending church. If this is your first post, I made a few references to some posts i previously made. There is the context for what I’m doing now. Also be sure to skim through the other posts to get caught up. Lastly, be sure to share this page with those who may want to her about this process, and check out the other two tabs that will help you know more about who I am, and how you too can partner with me to get to Calgary. I’d like to leave you with two verses from one of my favorite books. “I give thanks to my God and for every remembrance of you, always praying with joy for all of you in my every partnership in the gospel from the first day until now. I am sure of this, the he who started a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” Philippians 1:3-6
