Karissa* left yesterday. I was privileged enough to walk her to the gate and say goodbye. We got to dance before she left. It was probably the hardest "Goodbye" either of us have ever said. Tears were shed. Now after 24 house of travel, Karissa is in Australia. I leave in only a matter of 10 days. It is all becoming a reality.
As of now I have close to $4,000 set toward my DTS. I still need about $3,000 more at this point. With the funds I have now, I am able to go to YWAM partially funded. I would prefer to go fully funded, but presently, I have the funds to cover the first part of the DTS. The rest of the funds are mostly for the airfare for the outreach (the last two months) and the food/housing of the outreach.
I will be continue to do various fundraisers (I'm working on doing Pizza Hut gift cards and Little Caesars punch cards). If need be, my family and friends will be continuing the fundraisers after I have left. Unless I am fully funded by the time I leave.
The fundraiser at Cafe 180 sounded like it went well. It was yesterday. I was saying goodbye to Karissa, so I wasn't able to be at the fundraiser itself. I came in afterwards and they said about 30 or so people came in. They predicted about $100-$200 was raised. I'll know the details within about a week.
It is approaching quickly. God has been providing and I am trusting Him to provide the rest. I am so excited to see how God will provide and move before the DTS and in the midst of it. Continue to pray that the funds keep coming, and that God prepares me for all that He is going to do. Thanks for everything!
In Christ,
Timothy David
