As you can probably tell from your social media newsfeed and your e-mail inbox, today is #GivingTuesday.
#GivingTuesday kicks off the charitable season, when many focus on their holiday and end-of-year giving.
My biggest stumbling block for this call back to Uganda has been the financial support I need to raise.
In less than two months, I have to raise, not only, about $800 for a plane ticket, but also about $700 for my monthly financial needs when I return to Uganda.
With lots of prayer, and- yes, even times of, "There is no way this is possible!"- my faith is being tested and stretched.
I know it's not possible in my own strength or power, but God isn't limited by my strength and power.
John Piper wrote it beautifully in blog about support raising on the Desiring God website,
"Paul says to the Philippian church, “And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:19). God promises to deliver the things that we need to accomplish his purposes. While this does not offer an unqualified guarantee of full funding in ministry, it does offer something far greater: The gracious and generous God who owns the cattle on a thousand hills will supply all your needs (Psalm 50:10).
Navigating the troubled waters of support raising is no easy task. However, resting on the omniscience, omnipotence, and omnibenevolence of God can and will carry you through it."
Today, I am resting within the promises of God, as I ask for your financial support.
I realize the amounts that I need for my plane ticket and monthly support probably aren't an amount that you can do all by yourself, but I want to emphasize to you that every dollar truly counts.
If you can donate $10 monthly, it's as significant of a donation to me as if you can donate $100, beacuse each dollar is one dollar closer to meeting my needs.
Every donation, no matter how big or how not-so-big, makes a huge difference in building the kingdom and spreading the good news of the gospel.

Thank you for all the love, support, and prayers that I have received thus far. I could not do any of this without you!
