Month: November 2014

11/26/14 Prayer Requests

‘Twas the night before Thanksgiving… oh yeah! Hope you all have a fantastic holiday.

Here are some pressing prayer requests:

– I’m getting sick! 😦 Feels like it might be from the enemy because I have a key fundraising meeting this weekend [meeting with my home church to ask for their support]. Please pray that I recover quickly.

– The last time I saw my dad’s side of the family, I encountered a lot of push back about SP. Please pray for my conversations with them – that I would have favor with them. I am going to be sharing a photo slideshow of Nicaragua.

– Things at work have been very intense. I feel like the fate of the company is on my shoulders, and I feel super guilty for taking time off to fundraise. Please pray that the load at work lightens and that I am able to clearly see what my responsibilities are.

11/14/14 Prayer Request

– I didn’t work today! In my previous post, I mentioned that I was going part time in November. Well, that hasn’t really happened yet because work has been crazy. However, I took today off! I will probably take off Fridays for now. I’m grateful that my work is letting me take time off and that I had the self-control to pull away from work. I’m also grateful that a new person was added to my department (an answer to prayer). The more stable the department is, the easier it will be for me to leave.

Please pray that my department gets to a point where it is running smoothly so that I feel free to take off two days a week.

– I started mentoring two of the interns, Priscilla and Megan! I’m looking forward to my times with them.

Please pray for our times together – that God would use me to speak love and truth.

– In the past couple of weeks, I’ve met with five potential donors. The meetings have been encouraging and helpful (one IV staff gave me pointers). My boss is letting me use his iPad for my donor presentations, which is AWESOME. I got my first $100/ month donor! My goal is to meet with one hundred different people. Also, I will be meeting with my home church over Thanksgiving! And I just bought business cards! Apologies for my scattered thoughts – there is just a lot to say and lots that I’m excited about.

Please pray for upcoming donor meetings, especially the one with my home church. Pray that people would be excited about the vision of Servant Partners and would desire to give generously!
