missions fundraising is the most humbling thing i've ever done. and i mean humbling in the best possible way. the generosity of strangers, of people i had lost contact with, of old youth group and sunday school teachers, of friends, it's all so overwhelming and i couldn't be more thankful. each and every relationship in which i can share this missions trip with is a reminder of how gracious God is, and each conversation and shared support letter allows me to see how truly blessed i am. wow, God is so good.
