The Start of Raising Support

A few days ago, we received our informational packets about Siena. Everything we need to know about the trip was in there. Also, my passport came in the mail! It seems like this adventure is getting more and more real.

Reality in Greek is aletheia (said, ah-LAY-theah) and simply means the same as 'the truth'. It makes sense though, when you are trying to get your point across, that it is the absolute truth, don't we sometimes say "Really, truely!!!" Really..reality...truely..the truth.

The reality, the truth is...support raising is starting and I am trying to trust God solely to be the Great Provider I know He is. I am not perfect however, and have had some failings. The whole idea of asking for financial support from anyone is foreign to me. But the more I learn about who God is, the more I know He works in the hearts of His people to give and give big when He asks. To all those who will support me financially, I will never be able to thank you enough!

I am getting more and more excited, we have almost our whole team finalized. These are the people I will be living with, laboring for hearts alongside and getting to know so very well. They are all wonderful people that I am looking forward to going on this adventure with.

The vision of Campus Crusade for Christ at Washington State is that there would be spiritual movements everywhere on campus, so that every Coug would know someone who truely follows Jesus. I see that here at Washington State, and am so excited to share with the Italians how anyone, anywhere can know and have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

Just a quick update on the happenings pertaining to Siena Summer Project! :)
