Faithful Is He Who Calls You

Psalm 89:1

I will sing of the lovingkindness of the Lord forever;

To all generations I will make known Your faithfulness with my mouth.

Isaiah 25:1

O Lord, You are my God; I will exalt You, I will give thanks to Your name; For You have worked wonders, Plans formed long ago, with perfect faithfulness.

1 Thessalonians 5:24 

Faithful is He who calls you, and He also will bring it to pass.

     Every day I am reminded of how great and faithful God is. You'd think that I'd be used to God's faithfulness by now, but I don't think I'll ever be anything but amazed by it. It isn't that I don't expect God to be faithful, I do, but His faithfulness is so much more perfect, deeper, and farther reaching than I could ever begin to understand. He makes a way for me, always, and I never have to worry about tomorrow.

     In two weeks I'll be saying goodbye to Redding, goodbye to those I love, and goodbye to the life that I've had. I still have way to much to get done, way to many goodbyes to say, but I am ready for this adventure to begin! I am so close to everything that God has promised that I barely can contain my excitement and joy, this is really happening!!! I have my tickets, my visas are coming, and I know everything is going to work out.

     I am really close to being where I need to be financially when I leave, I just need about $600 more before I go and people who are willing to commit to support me monthly while I'm in Africa. A big "thank you" to everyone who has supported me thus far, I am so thankful for your generosity and excited for you to be a part of my journey in Africa!

Monthly Support

- I need a minimum of $700 a month to cover my expenses in Uganda.

-This looks like 35 people supporting me at $20, 14 people supporting me at $50, 7 people supporting me at $100, or any mixture of these.

-Donations can be made on the Stirring’s website (Stirring public donation ) or placed in the offering, but must be made by the 1^st of every month.

-Monthly commitment will last the 22 months I am in Africa (May 2012-March 2014).

-Please, send me an email at shannonlundberg@yahoo.com to let me know of your commitment and so that I can add you to my weekly update list.
