Happy June! I'm back in my hometown of Marion, IL typing away at the newly remodeled McDonald's (one of two in Marion), which also happens to be one of the few places in town with Wi-Fi. I think I have been here about every day this week...
It's been good to be home. I have been to my home church a few times, seen the new Terminator movie, and even played some church league softball along the way. This morning I was blessed with the opportunity to send off the Harvest Ministries Summer Team for 2009 before they head to Urbana-Champaign this weekend. I traveled with Harvest's summer worship team in 2007 and had a great time ministering to kids all over the Midwest at summer camps and churches. It was great to be among them again and to bless them as they leave.
The primary reason why I am home for the summer (and why I am seeking your prayer in this blog) is to fund-raise. As you know, the ministry of InterVarsity and its missionaries is supported by the contributions of individuals and churches like you and yours. We each have salaries and ministry budgets that we are kept accountable to fund-raise. The goal for me by the end of this month is to be at somewhere around 65-70% of my target goal of $4500 in monthly donations. I am currently at somewhere around 25%. Please be in prayer this month that God would meet and strengthen me in the process. Pray for open and generous hearts in the friends, family, and churches with which I'll be meeting. Lastly, pray that I would be able to minister to potential supporters even as they consider donating to InterVarsity. It is amazing how God uses these appointments to speak the Truth in love on both sides of the table. Thank you so much for your continued support of the ministry and your love for me. I will be updating to frequently to let you know as progress is being made.
In God's Peace,
KU
