Minneapolis, MN

That's right- I'm in Minneapolis. It's my first time here. I can now check another state off the list of 50. I've still been to more states than countries...we'll see after this year.

I've been through a day of training here at the EFCA and ReachGlobal headquarters. So far so good. I've taken in a lot of information. Some of it has been very helpful and some I might never think of again.

The highlight of today: I updated my support schedule and we were able to decrease my projected budget considerably. I was initially supposed to raise around $31,000. I'm now working on about $22,000. As of right now, I believe I have about %50 of that promised or pledged. So, I'm still working, but at least my end goal isn't so high. Let me assure you that I don't actually need $31,000 to live in Hungary for the next 10 months. That was a budget with a lot of excess. We've worked my salary back to what it was this past year, and I'm happy with that.

Continued prayer:
support raising!!!
Preparing to return- I think that's going to happen about August 9th
Mentally preparing to start a new school year.

I cannot say thank you enough- but thank you for all your prayers and support!!!


If you'd like to participate financially in educating students in Hungary- send checks payable to ReachGlobal to

In The States

I am in the states!! So far, I haven't done as much as I'd want to. Time is going by far too quickly. I didn't realize how short the summer really is. I am lucky, at least I have a summer vacation! But, this raising support business makes it short and intense.

My biggest prayer request right now is financial support. I'm in the process of making contacts and visiting with people. I'll be in Birmingham this weekend to reconnect with a church there. I'll then be in Minneapolis for a few days training with ReachGlobal, my sending agency.

I'll be back in Tallahassee on the 21st of July. I'd love to chat if you have a few free minutes!
