Raising Support

Raising support is one of the jobs that comes with the territory of missions work. I haven't met anyone who likes it. Who wants to go around asking for money? (Actually some people don't believe in asking for money, but that's another story).

I have been trying to hand out my first prayer letter in person (for the most part). The cool thing about handing it out in person is that it gives me a reason to connect with a lot of people that I haven't seen in a long time. The pseudo-alterior motive has been great. I say pseudo-alterior because I really do want to visit people, but when there is no particular reason to, I tend to let things slide. Giving them a prayer letter in person is reason enough to pay them a visit.
