Well I just went to support raising boot camp this weekend and learned so much about how to be an effective support raiser. I met missionaries from all over the world and was so excited to hear about thier vision for fulfilling the Great Commision found in Matthew 28:19-20.
The best thing was just remembering the vision of what I wanted to do and be a part of in the first place. I truly believe that God uses Campus Outreach to change lives and the world and that is exciting to be a part of and an awesome opportunity for others to invest in!
I think my biggest struggle with support raising over the past months has been letting my circumstances guide my feelings. It is easy when things are hard to lose sight of God's promises and his truth. It has been so refreshing over the past few days to go back to the reason I am doing this---because Christ loved and died for me! I want others to experience this love as well.
1. That he would provide at least 3 new supporters per week to join my team.
2. That through those I meet I would also learn of others that would like to be a part.
3. That those who invest in this ministry opportunity would be blessed and encouraged to know that they are a part of influencing others for Christ.

Well I'm not a journaler or a blogger at all but I thought that this would be a good way to let everyone know what is going on.
I named the blog walking by faith for now because #1 I couldn't think of anything creative with my name and #2 that is one of the main things God is teaching me in this chapter of my life.
Currently I am raising support to go on staff with Campus Outreach. I've been involved with C/O throughout college and can't imagine a better job. Once the support is raised then I will move to a college campus and full-time focus on evangelism and discipleship. God has drastically changed my life and I simply want to follow his leading and share his love with others. Until then I am living at home with my family and substitute teaching!
I can't WAIT to get on campus but God is teaching me so much during support raising. The people on my team so far are AMAZING! I couldn't ask for better brothers and sisters in Christ who are on the team by giving and praying. My main prayer request is that God would provide the rest of the supporters needed so that I can get on campus soon. I don't know how good I will be at keeping this blog up but I will do my best!
