I want to start off by truly thanking everyone who has offered me encouragement, prayer, and financial support to make this 'dream' a reality. It means more to me than most realize. I thought I would take this time to also let people know where I stand in terms of fundraising.
There are some one time expenses that I will need to have upfront when I get to Thailand such as (all estimated costs): Visa/Governmental Fees ($650), Orientation/Training program ($250), Annual Health Insurance ($500), a Motorbike Purchase -- if the Lord permits ($1,000), bringing hope and joy to the oppressed (Priceless)... *Sorry couldn't help it :)* Once I arrive, my monthly living expenses (including the ministry work I will be doing) will be around $850-950. I have struggled for a while with the thought of asking people for financial help, but God has continued to show me that people are not supporting my personal gain, but rather making an investment into the Kingdom to do the work He has planned. Someone once told me "Some people who don't have the ability or the opportunity to go and be on the front lines, desire to at least be a part of the process in helping send you. You may be the hands and feet, but it's important to be connected with the body - after all they work together." Knowing this, I do not want to get in the way of His plans and provisions by being too prideful in asking for help. So I would like you to prayerfully consider in sharing with this mission; whether that be a one-time gift, or a monthly donation -- every bit helps! Regardless of the amount (if any), I plan on staying connected with 'you' as much as possible so that you can have a picture of what your support is going to and the impact it is making. So, please send me an email at [email protected] so that I have your email address and can keep in touch with you. :) Thank you! *Keeping you in the loop: So far the Lord has provided $3,000 in one-time donations and $125 in monthly donations. The goal is to have $950 in monthly donors. This means, I need 25 of you who will do $30 a month, or 40 of you will do $20, or even if 80 of you will do $10 a month. If you would like to partner with me in this fight against Human Trafficking, you can send a check to: CORD Ministries International P.O. Box 635 Kittredge, CO 80457 Please include Shannon Halloran #1010 on the memo line, as well as specify if it is a one-time gift or a monthly donation. *all donations are tax-deductible! :) Once again, thank you SO much to all of those who have walked along side of me through this process!!! <3
