Hello Friends!
I have some updates for you!
First of all I want to say a huge thank you to everyone who has supported me so far! I am thrilled to say that thanks to all of you I am nearly 75% funded!! (This includes a couple of larger pledges that have not been sent in yet so the bar only shows about 65% of my funding).
That means that I have a little more than $4,000 left to raise. Thanks so much to everyone who has generously given and chosen to be a part of what God is doing.
Second I have an important announcement! There has been a slight change to our route! We will be going to Indonesia instead of Myanmar. This is for both logistical reasons and for cultural consistency. We have several other predominantly Muslim countries on our route so we will already have some context for how to minister to Muslims.
So my route as it stands now is as follows:
Jan: Côte d’Ivoire
Feb: Ghana
March: Togo
April: Thailand
May: Malaysia
June: Indonesia
July: Philippines
August: Argentina
September: Chile
October: Bolivia
November: Peru
Also we will get to have debrief in Bali so that’s pretty amazing.
So that’s the update! Indonesia! I’m excited and I am reminded that a big part of the Race is remembering to hold things loosely.
A few other updates/ funding things:
If you would like to help me reach my goal there are a couple of options for you-
You can always click that donate link at the top of the page to make a tax deductible donation to my mission. Every little bit helps!
I have an Adopt a box going. Pick a box and donate the amount in the box for a chance to win an original work of art from the country that the column is labeled with!
Here is what it currently looks like. (the Myanmar column will now be Indonesia)
T-shirts
I’m selling t-shirts (and other things)! You can shop lots of designs and items to support my mission here.
If you would like the t-shirt I designed for my squad you can get that here! Wear it and remember to pray for us on the field!
Rings
As a metalsmith I couldn’t help by doing a little bit of handmade fundraising. I am selling cross rings and stackable rings. Stackable bands are $25. Delicate cross rings are $35. (Also, not pictured, thicker cross rings are available for $45). $5 shipping in the US. Since I am making these by hand there is a limited amount of order slots so if you want one get your order in asap so I can make it for you!
Amazon wishlist
There are a few little things that I still need before launch in January. If you would like to support me with a gift you can find my wishlist here.
Keep my squad and me in your prayers as we prepare for launch in January.
Thanks so much friends. I’m so appreciative of each and every one of you.
Much Love,
Hattie
