Over the past 2 weeks, I have been SHOWERED with love and support from family, friends, and even strangers. I was worried at the start of my fundraising. It's a LOT of money. There have been many times throughout this past 2 weeks where I'd just sit on my floor and think, "I actually have no idea how this is going to work." But God has been SO gracious to me.

Here we are, $1,200 later, and I am in awe of both the generous hearts of God and His people. I wasn't even expecting $500 in 2 weeks, but God took my expectation and almost tripled it. It has been so incredible to watch Him work through the hearts and lives of others. Every donation that's been made, every encouraging text, and every prayer said has blown me away.

I have never had any doubt that this is where God is calling me- He has made it too obvious to me that this is His plan for me. From the moment He introduced me to Gap Year in 2021, I've had an overwhelming sense of peace about it. Every mountain that stood in the way of this happening, whether personal, medical, emotional, or financial, has been moved in ways that prove that this is ONLY happening because of Him. And it has been the sweetest adventure already!

I am so excited to see what He is doing and how He is doing it. Thank YOU for your generosity and love, and please be continuing to pray for me and my squad as we begin our fundraising + preparing for this Adventure In Missions!!

Your friend,

Grace
