Finances!

I know it's been a while since I last updated, but as I said in my last post, I am SO crazy busy that it's hard to find the time to sit down and type one of these out! I have been spending lots of time just soaking in everything we're learning during lectures and community outreaches and everything else they have us doing. I have made great strides in my walk with God and understanding the Bible, and anyone who knows me well can testify to the growth that's been happening in me during this time! I think it's safe to say that this has been the best experience of my life, it has been so worth every penny it took to get here. I want to say a huge THANK YOU to anyone who has supported me, whether it was financially or through prayer! I appreciate it all so much.

I leave Hawaii and fly to Mozambique on December 13th with eleven other people from my class, all ages 18 to 28. We should be in Mozambique for approximately 5 weeks, and during that time we will be working in a children's center with Iris Ministries. After that, I believe we will be traveling to George, South Africa and staying on a YWAM base there for the duration. We have spent the last few weeks getting to know our outreach team and preparing for our trip, and I couldn't have been blessed with a better bunch of people to embark on this amazing journey with! We will all be living veeerryy close for 3 months, so I'm glad I have a team that is so easy to get along with.

Our deadline for the rest of our outreach finances is November 24th- this upcoming Wednesday. I still owe approximately $2,000. If I don't have this money by then, I will not be able to go on my outreach. I gained the other $8,000 that was due through working two jobs this past summer, various fundraising activites throughout the past few months, birthday and graduation gifts, support from my church, and support from friends and family. God has been SO faithful in the area of finances, and I'm trusting that it will all come in on time!

I am doing everything I can to bring in the funds, but I do need help. I am asking that you would please pray, and see if you are being led to support me financially in this great mission of bringing God's love to the poor and needy.

If you would like to support me, you can make a secure transaction with your credit card using this link to my Paypal Account. Whether it's $5 or $500, every little bit helps!
If you would like to donate by check or cash, you can email me at Bri.Quiggle@gmail.com for details on how to get that to me.

There are others in my outreach team and other outreach teams from my class who are also still in need of their funds. I have seen God work in miraculous ways during my DTS so far, there were days where thousands of dollars would just come in out of nowhere and funds have been multiplied in unexplainable ways! If I am able to raise more than the $2,000 that I still need, I would be able to help my fellow classmates who are still struggling to get it all in.

Once again, if you are not being led to support me financially, please keep me and my team in your prayers. Please pray that we would encounter God in radical ways, that we would effectively portray the gospel and show the unconditional love of Christ, and that we would stay safe! Thanks again :)
