I am overwhelmed by the amount of support I have gotten thus far! Several people have told me that they will be committing to praying for me, which is AWESOME. It is so encouraging to know that so many people are supporting me and helping me accomplish this dream I've had for several years to do this discipleship training school and outreach!
As far as the finances go, I have raised half of my goal! That's right, through my own savings, photography and babysitting services, and donations of others, I have 6,000 dollars toward my YWAM trip! The Lord has blessed me so much through each of you that has supported me in any way!
This means I have 40 days to try and raise the last 6,000 dollars! I have faith that God will provide the rest through my job and the support of my friends and family! I am working right now as a substitute teacher and diligently saving, but I still need the help of others for this dream to become a reality. If you are looking for a way to help, book a photo session with me anytime before April! Or, you can take a night off and hire me as a babysitter! I also am having a fundraising night at Chick-fil-A on March 10th. Print and bring this flyer to the Chick-fil-A on Lincoln Highway from 4:30-7:30 and 15% of your order will go toward my YWAM trip! You can also donate a dollar to spin the wheel for a coupon for free food that you can use during your next visit to Chick-fil-A.
I encourage you to give as the Lord leads you, and I pray that He will provide for your needs as well! If you would like to make a donation, you can click this link and contribute directly to YWAM on my behalf by filling out the form with my name and the amount you would like to donate. These donations are not tax deductible, but I have partnered with my church so that you may make a tax deductible contribution by writing a check made payable to Mount Vernon Mennonite Church with "Missions Project: Shelby Blevins" written in the memo line, and sending it to:
Mount Vernon Mennonite Church
1 Lighthouse Drive
Kirkwood, PA 17536
Thank you SO MUCH for partnering with me in this journey toward knowing God more and making Him known!
