Grateful

After four weeks of fundraising, I am so excited to share some great news with you...I am currently 48.9% funded! I am so thankful for numerous family members and friends who have chosen to support me financially, not to mention those who have committed to pray for this ministry. I couldn't do this without you all, thank you so much for joining me :)

I am beginning to understand to an even greater degree that the Lord is such a faithful provider and He would not have called me to this service unless He also had the funding in mind. It's in our Lord's nature to know the needs of His children and to extravagantly provide for them in a way that is not reckless but completely purposeful.

Blessings to you all,
Lauren

He deserves praise that is fit for a King...

AN UPDATE:

I am so excited to share that through the generous donations of family and friends, I am now more than 25% funded for one year in Germany ($5800 has been pledged of my $20,000 goal)!

I was certainly convicted this week that I have not been kneeling before our Maker and responding to His faithfulness with enthusiastic praise and worship that is fit for a King as the psalmist writes in psalm 95. After receiving such generous gifts over the past week, God totally deserves praise for His provision over me as well as the ministry of BFA. People are seeing my heart to do this service and people are beginning to understand the need to care for God's children in Germany. He is extravagantly good and extravagantly gracious and I am able to recognize this more with each day that passes...
