So here I am sitting in the fieldhouse at work and I'm trying to write support letters. I think God wants me to do a DTS in January so I need to raise money to pay for it. Now, my problem is that I have pride getting in my way... I don't want to ask people for money, I want to raise it myself somehow (which, lets be honest, it's not going to happen). I know that God is pushing me out of my comfort zone for a reason, but I just don't know where to begin.
Who do I ask, do I ask my church to help? My family? Friends?
I don't know what to put in the letter. Cause pretty much I'm asking money for training and then for an outreach. It's weird to me to ask for money for school though. Everyone else has to pay for their own school, but if you go to missionary-school, you're supposed to have everyone else pay for it? I should do fundraisers, like babysitting and lawn raking and grass mowing, etc. Then it's up to the person what they want to pay me, $50 an hour?
So how to structure this letter... Stupid pride, always getting in the way.
I guess we just gotta let the big man speak for me.
If anyone needs their lawn raked, let me know!
Yours,
Samalamading-dong
