Faith vs. Falling on my Face

God put a trip on my heart. A long, expensive, and last minute trip. It’s called the Immersion trip with Adventures in Missions, the organization I am leading a trip in Guatemala with right now. This trip consists of 3 months in 3 different countries. A total of 9 months of my life devoted to serving people. 9 months of the unexpected.  9 months of radically showing people in dark places God’s love and purpose for their lives. I like to think of it as a “pregnancy term” of obedience to the Lord. With that being said… I have 3 WEEKS to raise $9,000. Thats NINE THOUSAND DOLLARS IN THREE WEEKS. No money, no go. Call me crazy. Call me a dreamer. Call me 20 years old. But I have to try. I have to step out in faith. If I fall on my face then so be it, but I would rather jump off a cliff and risk the landing then not jump at all. 

This is when I really need your support. Your prayers, Your encouragement. And help financially. Would you be willing to donate a dollar a day? Or even just a dollar? Anything helps. 

I’m jumping. Will you jump with me?

You can donate to my fund directly:

1. Go to Adventures.org

2. Click on the DONATE tab on the top right side of the page. (it will give you options: choose MISSION TRIP PARTICIPANT

3. When it says Choose program: choose PASSPORT

4. Then just type in my name. 

If you have any questions or would like to contact me my email address is: Leighajoy@gmail.com

Please share my story with your friends and family.

So I only have 27 days left. 27 days in poverty. 27 days left in this season of my life. 27 times to repeat the same cycle of my every day life that I have done for the past 3 months. 27 days in community. 27 days until I’m a different person with the same perspective. 27 days until I leave everything that I know now. 27 days until I have to start over. 27 days to eat rice and beans. 27 days to make the best of this season. 27 days to accomplish everything that I can here. 27 days of photos. 27 days until I will be home sitting in my queen sized bed wondering if the past 4 months really existed. 27 days until I get to see family, and friends. 27 days until phone access. 27 days until my head explodes. And it will take more than 27 days after that to process it all. A lifetime of Nueva Vida.
