I made this fun little newsletter to share with you all! It has more information about my team’s ministry, a look at some of my thoughts, and some ways you can be praying for my squad, my team, and me personally!

Lastly, I only have $629 left until I am fully-funded and can join my team at ministry! I am praying for this to happen by Monday, February 1st: so I can join my team at ministry on Tuesday!!

Just last week I was feeling incredibly disappointed and downcast at how long my fundraising journey was taking, and how slow things were progressing. And then just two days later, 500-ish more dollars had been raised, and I felt like God was laughing at me. This verse came into my mind, and I’ve never felt more seen and known by God.

“So don’t be afraid, little flock. For it gives your Father great happiness to give you the Kingdom.” – Luke 12:32.

Wow. Thanks God.

So, with that being said, I’d love to invite you into a last opportunity to partner with what God is doing in me and others impacted through this ministry. If six more people donated $100, I’d basically be funded. Or three people $200. Anyway, I’m just so dang grateful for all the support, and all the obedience to the promptings of the Holy Spirit that has gotten me this far. If you’ve ever wondered if God works miracles – He does, and this whole journey has been one big proof of that, in my heart. Here’s a big thank you in advance from me 🙂

Finally, enjoy the newsletter! Love, Shanan.

P.S. The dates on these newsletters are wrong OOPS, but thanks to spotty Wifi it’s not worth the effort to fix that! Props to you if you noticed 😉
