I have found myself stuck in this place and haven't figured a way out. It's not a bad place, just a place I don't want to focus on in the process of leaving country again...support raising. I have been raising support to leave on various mission trips since 2004. God has been faithful in so many ways and I have been blown away at the ways the support has come in, many times at the last moment. But here I am again, preparing to leave for Africa for close to a year. My support account is looking kind of bare these days and I'll be in Africa in less than 2 months! I feel like I have done a lot of what has been communicated to us in this whole process, newsletters, calls, house visits, coffee shop visits, and still feel like I haven't gotten very far.
