I have been very encouraged by the love and support of people in my life. I've been able to do some bake sales, speak to coworkers, dance classes, lunch sales and more at my work. I have a coworker and her sister who have donated some items to take to the kids. Heather Scott donated her time to teach the dance class to raise funds. I also have some one who has donated a wii to raffle off for me. The raffle will be starting Monday August 22nd. $3.00 for your chance to win Wii!! Wonderful things have happened. And I am trusting that it will be enough to buy that pricy ticket to get me on the other side of the world!
I go back and forth with thoughts of giving up because it's not easy. Then I remember that I am called to do this and I need to walk it out. I need to remember that it is NOT about me. It's about God's kingdom. In that kingdom are these precious children that I have been praying years to meet and love on.
In addition to these things I will be making and selling bracelets. If you would like a bracelet at your missions donation then I will make you one! Please email me at Ameshaynes@yahoo.com your contact info and desired colors and size! I have made these as gifts for people. Spread the word and let me know.
If you have any jobs needing to be done as well let me know. I love to babysit or clean. I am willing to do whatever it takes to get to the Philippines september 12-24! Help me get there. I am also trying to do a yard sale sept 3rd if there is anything you would like to donate to sell.
I have been reading Revolution in World Missions by K.P.Yohannan. It is truly changing my view on my needs in America and my needs as a missionary. Here is a tidbit, dont get offended, "God did not shower such great blessing on this nation for the Christians to live in extravagance, self-indulgence and spiritual weakness." I need to do whatever it takes to do the will of God. I got the book free online if you are interested. He works with Gospel for Asia.
