Fundraising for myself is a very new thing. It’s not something I have ever done for me. Asking for money isn’t an easy thing. The way I was raised was you have to work hard and earn everything you get, don’t ask for handouts. So, that was my mentality. As I am going on this fundraising journey the Lord is humbling me in many ways. I have to ask people for money which in and of itself is humbling. I have learned and I am solidifying the biblical principles behind giving.
So this has been very much a challenge and a learning curve for me. It’s awesome to see how generous some people are. To see people give to further kingdom with a joyful heart is a beautiful sight. I have had issues with people not thinking it’s biblical to give or even for me to try to raise support. But that isn’t the case at all in Philippians 4:17 Paul days” not that I desire your gifts, what I desire is more be accredited to your account”” he says that meaning that storing up heavenly treasures. Matthew 19-21 “Don’t store up treasures here on earth, where moths eat them and rust destroys them, and where thieves break in and steal. Store your treasures in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal. Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be.”” ??Learning all of this has been amazing. It’s awesome to know that believers can be hands extended all around the world just by supporting me , while also laying up treasures in heaven as they give generously. It’s something really special to see the Lord work like He is in there lives and mine as well. He is providing support for me to go, preparing my heart and mind, and just being ever present. I am super excited to how the Lord will work through each one of you as you give and follow me on my journey. Hopefully you will be encouraged. I will leave you with this 2 Corinthians 9:6-8 “Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. 7 Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. 8 And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.”
I love and appreciate each one of you ! I couldn’t do this without you, once my amount updates it should be close to half!!! The Lord is really moving! So just continue to pray and if you know someone that maybe I can sit down and talk to me about partnering with me on this journey shoot me a message!
Amen bro! You’re providing opportunity for others to invest in the Kingdom!
This is awesome. I learned a lot from your message here. I know you are changing lives as you go on this journey and even helping those here in this country to be on this journey with you as they are supporting and giving to you.
This is awesome Zach! I am praising the Lord with you for all that the Lord is doing.
