Support Raising Round Deux

Hello Friends!

So here we are, in the second half of the internship and I can hardly believe that the first half is over. Summer Conference was AMAZING. Sadly, I did not get around to filming it as I had hoped but hey--that's a project for next year's SuCo! This SuCo was a lot different for me seeing as I was "working." But that did not stop the fun or the excitement of being with my students and soaking in great teaching.

I am back in Mississippi for two more weeks working on support--then I'll go to Texas for about a month to work with Summer Aggie RUF, orientation for upcoming freshmen at A&M, as well as more long distance support raising. I will also be working on writing my Bible study for the fall which I am super excited about. Then I will return to MS for a week, then go to Atlanta for training (WHOOP), then return to MS for a few days then head out west for the final exodus.

Are you dizzy yet? What a schedule. But I could not be more excited to see how it all unfolds and comes together trough God's provision and guidance.

Speaking of God's faithfulness, I would like to thank all of you for being a part of my team last year. I cannot tell you how much it means to me to know I have people praying for this ministry. I am also constantly amazed that by your giving, I can minister to these students and have a presence in their lives. The Lord constantly went before me and behind me in this ministry. Left to my own efforts and my own strength--nothing would have been accomplished. All the glory and all the praise is to Him alone.

I would ask for you to prayerfully consider helping financially again this year. I am looking for more monthly donors to help cover my monthly costs of about $2,000 a month. I will still need one time gifts (absolutely) so if that fits you better please consider that as well. The great thing about monthly gifts is: it all adds up! You may think, "Hey, I can only give $15 right now..." but in 10 months, that's $150!! And that is huge!

Here's what I'm looking at to meet my monthly costs:
(the first number represents the amount of people and the other number being the amount given each month)

10x10	in one month 100
10x15	150
10x25	250
15x30	450
20x50	1000

                        =$2,000 a month

So if 10 people gave 10 a month I would have 100 each month and 1,000 in 10 months!

"Every Drop Counts" is a saying that floats around my friend group and it is no exception here. Please consider being a part of my team in this upcoming year. I cannot do it without you!

If you need info on how to give--go to the "Support RUF" tab.You can also visit www.ruf.org/donate to set something up online! If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to ask. 

You are impacting students for Christ through your prayers and your gifts. I am so thankful to partner with you!

Grace and Peace,

Anna

This has been on my heart and mind as I begin this round of support raising. I felt the need to share it with you!

Guide Me O Thou Great Jehovah

Guide me, O Thou great Jehovah,
Pilgrim through this barren land.
I am weak, but Thou art mighty;
Hold me with Thy powerful hand.
Bread of heaven,
Feed me now and evermore;
Bread of heaven,
Feed me now and evermore.

Open now the crystal fountain,
Whence the healing waters flow;
Let the fire and cloudy pillar
Lead me all my journey through.
Strong Deliverer,
Be Thou still my Strength and Shield.
Strong Deliverer,
Be Thou still my Strength and Shield.

 When I tread the verge of Jordan,
Bid my anxious fears subside;
Death of death, and hell's destruction,
Land me safe on Canaan's side.
Songs of praises, I will ever give to Thee;
Songs of praises, I will ever give to Thee.

Land me safe on Canaan's side
Bid my anxious fears, bid my anxious fears
Land me safe on Canaan's side
Bid my anxious fears, bid my anxious fears, goodbye
