funding update...

i just wrote a long post on how fundraising has been going, but apparently it didn't publish properly so this is my second attempt. fundraising has started to pick up after a long waiting period of trying to set up appointments with people to tell them more about partnership opportunities. it has been a while since i focussed this much on fundraising and i forgot how much it is half hard work, half waiting. i'm also remembering how much i need to be dependent on God for it all to happen. looking at the numbers of what i need to raise and realizing that some how i need just over $7000 to come in before i can be back on campus is so daunting. but then again, God has pulled off bigger miracles so i just need to wait and see how he will provide it.
i am also working on a thank you reception of sorts for supporters. i haven't done anything significant for supporters since i have come on staff so i am excited to have an event to show how much i appreciate them. i'll give out more details as i know them...
