In the midst of all of the amazing things going on with Elemenopie Designs, I have another amazing thing in the works. I have to say that I'm just as excited, if not more excited, about it. I am going on a mission trip this summer! I'll be spending two weeks in Guyaya. There we'll be holding daily Vacation Bible School for about 200 children, and we'll also be doing a nightly crusade.
I have been spending a lot of time on fundraising for the trip. Total expenses are about $2500, and I've raised almost half of the money needed. Unfortunately, I'm down to the last month or so to raise money. So, here's what I'm asking of you....
1. PRAYERS!! I am a firm believer that prayer works wonders, and I also believe that all things work together for good for those who love God. I solicit all prayers on behalf of myself and the mission team.
2. Fundraising Ideas - I'd like to think beyond the usual car washes and bake sales. I have been trying to figure out how I can use my shop to help earn the money. Sure, I can dedicate my profit towards the trip, but that hasn't been huge so far. I've been using profit to buy more ribbon! ;)
So, in the comment section, give me some ideas! God blesses me so much, and I'm looking forward to being able to share that with the people in Guyana. I just have to figure out the financial aspect so I can get there! :D I am open to any and all suggestions!
If anyone feels compelled to donate towards this mission trip - in any amount - feel free to email me for more information. I'll gladly share details of our work and answer any questions you might have!
