March Update

Support is at nearly 50%!

With God's help, and yours, each month is bringing that number closer to the goal.

St. Patrick's Day was a nice interlude in March. The holiday touch on my excitement and anticipation for Ireland. It was a nice break in an otherwise low key month. There were no events and very little physical preparation on my part. Support wise, three day sponsorships were filled and 460 miles were sponsored!

March marks the half way point. Three month in. Three months to go! The first three month is marked by nearly 50% support raised and now we are in the home stretch. $585 is needed in my OM account by May 10, and I'm $40 away from that goal. With 1 1/2 months to go, I have no doubt that it can be reached. Beyond that, funds will still be needed to cover a few days and the remainder of my ticket. There are five day sponsorship opportunities still available. This is a commitment of both financial ($40) and spiritual (prayer) support, for one day of the trip. In turn my prayers would be lifted up for you on that day, and you'd receive a fun picture of your name somewhere in Ireland (I already have ideas!). Airline miles can also be sponsored for the low price of $.12/mile, and it is many miles to Dublin.

My prayers in March were a little lagging, but I hope to change that in April. I'm still tackling what it means to be part of a short-term missions trip to Ireland. I desire to know what God is doing there and I hope to gain a broader understanding of the world outside our country.
