With about 8 weeks to go before I'm scheduled to leave for Berlin, here's how my support is looking:
Monthly: 21%
One-time: 35%
Overall: 24%
At this point, I'm trying my best to work diligently on support at least 40 hours a week (it is my full-time job, after all) and trust God to bring it in for me. I have been blessed to have several very encouraging appointments in the past few weeks and have seen God work in big ways for me.
The biggest blessing of the support raising process is having to rely on God completely for everything that I need. Some days it is a challenge to trust in His promise to provide for me, but I am resting in the knowledge that God is big enough to bring in my support without even batting an eye. He did create everything, after all. It has also been really good for me to push through fears that I have of calling certain people. Several times I have dialed the phone to call someone I hardly know (or don't know at all) and have gotten a warm, encouraging response. Those calls alone are enough to make me believe the Holy Spirit is going before me as I walk
through this process. =)
