So I wanted to let you all know that I am well on my way to getting the rest of the money for this month. I just did another calculation.

 

From the new money that has come in or has been pledged I now have a total of $5,200.04!!! YAY!!!! Thanks to all who have given to my account!!!

 

Thanks to Jerry and Judy Malone for contributing!!! I miss and love you guys soo much!!

 

Thanks SOOOOO Much Kalen Mckinley!!!!!! I appreciate your gift sooo much.

 

Thanks soo much to the Millers for giving monthly!!! You bless me SOOO much!!!

 

In pledges the total is at $5,200.04... but at the moment... I only have $4,245.04 in my account. So if you havn't sent in your pledges.... PLEASE send in the money soon!!!

 

So at this point with my pledges... I need $1,000 more before the end of this month!!! And for monthly... I still need people to pledge $371.11 per month. If 19 people were to support $20 per month... then I would have the monthly support taken care of!!!

 

Please pray for me and my team-mates that Christ will provide what we need. I am in a better spot than MANY MANY of them. We all need prayer. Feel free to check out their pages at www.08africaawakening.myadventures.org  If you have the heart to give monthly to them too... I know they would also appreciate your help VERY much.

 

Thanks sooo much yall!!!

 

In Christ,

Andrew

So I found out today that the 60% we need is AFTER they take out the plain ticket money... So the $5,000 I had... will soon sink to $3,000 leaving me at about 50% of the support I needed before I leave in September.

 

At first I was frustrated and worried about this amount. I had figured that my time for MAJOR MAJOR fundraising had been lost, now I had t scrounge the bucket for the last $1,200... But then an idea came to my head... an idea of "God's Marvelous Provision." Think about it... in one month, Christ provided $5,000 in my account... in ONE month!!!!!!! Here the Lord has taken care of me, He brought in the money I needed, and here I am, little me, complaining to God, "God... now I have to raise another $1,200 before the end of next month... $4,200 was bad enough... but now I have to raise $6,200??? WHEN WILL THIS STOP!!!" Then Christ showed me how the $5,000 was completely HIM raising it for me. "Yes... it was not little me.... I admit it." And even with my first guess of having to raise $2,200 like I first thought last month, the Lord has allready put me in a better position than I hoped. It is only $1,200, which is $1,000 less than what I thought I was going to need. Even with this new ammount, the Lord knew about it, and took care of me.

 

I started to wonder how often we act like the Israelites in the dessert complaining to God, "THIS ISN'T AT ALL WHAT I WANTED!!!!" And here God is, supplying our every need, taking care of us... knowing what is to come. Over and over I have told myself, and my team-mates, "Trust in Christ, He will supply what you need." Often I have found that He knows what we want... more than we do. And here He is... taking care of us every step of the way. We all have been sinfull of not trusting in Christ, complaining to Him that He didn't do things like we wanted... like me earlier today. And now it's time for andrew to practice what he has been preaching to everyone and himself all along.... It is time for me to trust in Christ.

 

So... lets get out the money stats so you all know my needs...

 

I have $4,995.04 towards my account at this moment.

"The $2,575.04 from the Church got in today!!!...before they baught my plain ticket to Africa!!!"

 

I still need $1,205.96 before the end of next month. "These need to be sent in before the middle of August so they get processed in time."

*As I have said... if you are still at the pledging stage... please take the next step SOON and send in the money.*

 

After all the money needed for next month is in, I will still need $3,800 through monthy support.

$3,800/9=$422.22 per month

$422.22

-$180 "details are listed in "Gods Marvelous Provision" under Monthly Support

$242.22 still needed in monthly before I go.

 

At this point... I am still looking for One Time givers. The more that comes in from that side, the less that will be needed on the Monthly Support side... though both are very needed and EXTREAMLY appreciated.

 

You CAN support me On-Line here by clicking on the link, "Support Me!" under the Main Menu.

 

A Dream that also came to mind later on today was... "If Christ gave me $5,000 allready... then He could cirtanly get me the last $5,000 before I go in one time gifts!!!" Isn't God Amazing!!!

 

Pray for me that Christ will give me wisdome on what I need to do next in this support raising endevour.

Pray for my team-mates, as they also face many deadlines like these. "You can see all of them and read a little about them by going to www.08africaawakening.myadventures.org to check out their prayer and support needs as well. We are all under Main Menue where all the names are placed at."

And I pray that the Lord will bless each and every one of you... whether you support me financially, or prayerfully by even coming to my page!!!

 

Love,

Andrew

 

"We are not people of wealth, but isn't it amazing that Christ has allowed our kids to go on these marvelous adventures around the world!!!" ~My mother talking to Genny.

Ever since Bunco, God has been supplying my needs more and more. I have been calculating how much people have decided to support me, and how much more I need. Well... each day brings a new ammount, "this is from people calling my mom and letting her know how much they will support me, people letting me know, and people putting money in the offering for me."

 

Last night, as I was calculating how much more I needed, I was astonished by finding out that with the money I have, the money being sent in and the money that people have pledged, I now have $4,995.04 towards my account!!!!! Because of this ammount, I have OFFICIALLY hit my September deadline, "and the amazing part about His provision is that it is not even August yet!!!" Thank you to all who have started to support me.

 

Thanks to Sandi for your generous gift, "and for all the desserts you baught at the Bunco night... yes... I LOVE YOU!!!! You are totally AWSOME!!!"

Thanks to Barbary H. for all the money you gave me. It sure helped a WHOLE BUNCH!!!

Thanks to Edna W. for your generous contribution. You helped me out soo much as well.

Thanks to Barbara B. for supporting me monthly at $20 a month!!!

Thanks to Mary B. for supporting me at $10 a month!!! I am so blessed by you!!!

Thanks so much Grandmama and Papa for your gift. I Love you both SOOO much!!!

Thanks to the Cheney Bible Bookstore for giving me a job, and for your pledge!!!

Thanks to all who contributed at our Church into the offering!!! I have gotten $575 just from there alone. You, "my church family," have always been so generous to me. I love you all!!!

 

If you are still in the pledge stage, I ask that you please send in your pledge by the middle of August. It takes a week for AIM to get the money, and longer for them to process it. If you send in your money by the middle of the month, then it should get there in time so I am not behind when I get there.

 

From the $10,000 I need by the end of the missions trip, I now need $5,004.96!!!

 

At this point, I now need monthly support. Here is my breakdown on monthly at this point.

$5,004.96/9=$556.11

$556.11

-100 monthly from my Parents

-50 from the Aders

-10 from Mary

-20 from Barbara*

376.11 needed monthly at this point.

 

If 19 people can support me at $20 per month, then the monthly support will go down.

 

I am still accepting one time gifts as well... they will also bring down monthly needed support.

 

You can support me on-line any time. Just click on "Support Me!" under Main Menu on my page.

 

I am so excited to see how Christ moves next, and can't wait to go to this place that Christ is taking me. As Kandace, "my sister," said as she was talking to Mom about my support, "Well, I guess God really wants Andrew to go!!!" Ha ha. I guess He does!!!

 

Pray for me as the rest of my money and paperwork gets turned in. I will be applying for my VISA soon.

 

In Christ,

Andrew

Hey Guys!!!

 

First things first... Sorry for not writing in a while. God has been REALLY working over the past few weeks. One exciting bit of news I want to tell you, "besides the Bunco Night results," is that the Cheney Community Church Mission Committee decided to give me $1,000!!!! Thanks so much!

 

I am also SOOO excited to tell you that the total from the Bunco Night was $1,325.04!!!!!!

God is sure wonderful isn't He!!! Thank you so much to all who came to the Bunco night. We all sure had LOADS of fun! "I probably had the most because I was laughing the whole time." All the desserts you all brought were so beautiful. I could tell that all who came pourd their heart into every dessert. I want to especially thank a few people;

 

To Kirsten and Winston, for helping to put on this wonderful event on. I couldn't have done it without you!!!

 

To Marco, Margo, Niah, and Cia, who made that amazing dessert, the Giraffe cake, "it looked amazing. I will post it if I can get a copy of the picture," which made the most money, $175 that night!!!!

 

To all who bid and gave SOOO Generously that night. I wouldn't be as cought up as I am without your help!!

 

To everyone who helped tear down everything after the dessert auction. I appreciate your help a lot.

 

Cheney Community Church will be sending a Check of $2,575.04 to my account, which means that I am at $3,175.04 in my account.

At this point, I only need $1,024.96 by the end of September, "PRAISE JESUS!!!"

 

I am now on track for the August deadline, and have a good head-start on the September deadline!!!

 

I look forward to see how and through who God will continue to raise the money I need. Thank you all again!!!

 

In Christ,

Andrew

Hey Everybody!!!

 

God is truly amazing. Yesterday, I bought my plain ticket to Georgia!!! I looked everywhere for a ticket on line through all the cheap ticket websites. And guess what??? I found a ticket for $240.99 on line!!!! The best part of all is when I put my money from my savings to checking, all the money I needed was there. I was able to transfer $250 to my checking from savings, "which is all I had." So, goodbye last of the grad money!!! The ticket is a one-way ticket, which means I will have to pay for one before I come back home, but I have faith that God will supply the money I need to come home.

 

Today I counted that I have sent out 60 support letters!!! "few" I still have about 30 or more people I need to send out support letters to, so if you havn't gotten one, "which I really really hope you have allready," you should be getting one soon. Some times it is a matter of not having the address. So if you havn't gotten one, please send your address to my e-mail.
CYT_here_I_come@hotmail.com

I will be sure to get one right out to you!!!

 

Thank you so much Hough family for sending money to my account.

Thanks also to the Wade family for letting me house sit. "That is what I have been doing mostly this week."

 

At this point, I only have $375 in my account. I need $1,625 more in my account by the end of this month, "which is in two weeks," and $3,825 by the end of next month.

 

I need Your help to get the money I need by the end of this month. Please, if you haven't started supporting me yet, support me soon!!! If you look to the Left of the page, there is a link Support Me!  If you are able, please click on that link to support me. There you can pledge and even pay on-line!!! Please do if you financially can. Even $25.00 goes a long way.

 

Most of all, I need prayer from all of you. It has become harder to keep my faith in knowing God will supply my needs. Please pray that I will stay strong in Him, and that He will provide the money in my account. After all, He owns the Cattle on a Thousand Hills.

 

In Fact Pray with me now,

 

Dear Christ,

I pray that You bless all that have come to this page, and will come to this page. I pray that You will provide what I need in my account. Lord, I am so week and scared, yet You are so strong and mighty. I know that You can easily provide. Lord I pray for everyone else on my team, that You will keep them strong in You, and that they will be able to raise the money on time as well. Lord, we can't do this on our own.

Lord, please bless everyone that supports us. I pray that they will see how You have blessed them by blessing us.

Thank You for all You have done for us Lord.

In Jesus Name,

Amen

 

Thank you all so much for your prayers. I hope to see you all at the Bunco Night July 26th

In Christ,

Andrew

PS I know that Ms. Getty reads these, but I don't know if she is the only one. If you do as well, comment on this saying that you read it too so I am not lik, "I am typing all this, putting work into this page, and no one is reading it!! What is this world coming to???" or whatever. It would help me to know YOU are reading this page as well.

Hey Guys,

I have some exciting news I want you all to hear!!!

 

What is fun, exciting, starts with a B, and gets everyone having fun????

Now for a B that ruins this whole W thing

Bring What??? Desert. We will be auctioning off everyones Desert, "the desert is kinda like a ticket, but isn't completely required."

 

Make sure your desert has an artsy discription, "things that make your desert seem more cooler than everyone elses because of the cool things it has in it, or how it was made."

 

The person who's desert gets the most money gets a prize!!!! Using words like,

Home Made

Crumbley,

etc.

will make your cake sell more!!! Even including the recepie will make it worth more.

 

Please make sure to put an index card, "or a home made card that looks amazing," on the desert with the discription and what it has in it.

 

Make sure if you put nuts in the desert that you put it on the card.

Hey Everybody!!!

 

So I got my very last shot today!!!! No more of those, "yucky," things... for a while I guess.

 

I am so blessed by the people in my life who have given so generously allready.

Reverend Anne Frerks, thank you!!!

Patricia and Robert Senter, thanks a bunch!!!

Brenden and Dawn Anderberg, "my wonderful parents," Thanks a bunch for your contribution of $100 in monthly support starting in September!!!

Larry and Dianne Ader, Thanks so much for your contribution of $50 a month starting very soon!!!

 

At this very moment, looking at my support and knowing what is being sent in, I have $300 being sent to my account. I need $1,700 more before the end of July. God is so Faithful, I know that He will provide.

 

Just to let you know, if I didn't add you allready, mail takes about a week before it gets from here, "in Washington," to Georgia, "I guess from what I hear, their mailing system isn't as efficient as ours!!! Neener neener neener!!! ha ha." Another part is AIM does all their finances on Monday. So if I didn't add you here, you will be thanked as soon as it is in the mailing system and AIM puts my money summery on the page.

 

I am still puting my support letters together, so if you know anyone that you think would be able to support me as well, please contact me through my email, "I check it everyday," and give me their address, and let them know as well that I am sending them my support letter.

 

God has been so great!!! This week I have been a game leader for Cheney Community Churche's VBS. I have had so much fun with the kids. They are amazing. It has almost felt like God has been giving me early training on working with kids, and I love every minute of it. Today, Margo, "the music leader," told the kids that I was a missionary going to Africa, and they all got so excited. They all asked me about when I was going and what I am going to do. It was a great blessing to see them so excited to meet a REAL missionary!!! Ha ha ha.

 

Well, thanks for all your prayers and talkings. I have been thinking of you all, and how much I love you all. I will miss you when I am gone.

 

Call me anytime (509) 994-2608!!!

In Christ,

Andrew Anderberg

 

Hey guys, I just got an email today that said they will be buying my ticket to Africa in four weeks. They said I need to have at least $2,000 by the end of this month. If you can, please prayerfully concider sending in a little extra.

 

I have a few jobs I am working on. I have a job at Cheney Communtiy Church as a janitor, working at the Christain Bookstore in Cheney, and have a few more part time jobs I am looking at. Even with all of these, I don't think I will be able to get that much in four weeks. I have faith He will provide.

 

In my account as of today, it said I don't have any money, actual money or even pledges in it yet!!!!! I really need you to start supporting me as soon as you get the chance.

 

From here, you can click Support Me! and it will take you to a page that will allow you to actually support me. Please do.
