The idea of the Prayer Tree is that there will be a prayer support team built around me and the Ardrossan Nazarene Church as I head there to serve and learn. Prayer is what is going to sustain me and keep me going in a new environment and as I face living completely on my own for the first time in my life. I would love your prayers!! There will be 200 Prayer Leaves that you can choose from and what I am asking is that the number of the leaf you buy is that amount you donate.
For example, if you pick the #20 leaf then you would donate 20 dollars
Purpose
This fundraiser not only helps me raise funds for my trip, but it also helps create a prayer support group. The money raised will go towards helping me cover my traveling and living expenses in Scotland, but it is also partnering with me as I work on my Master's Degree. My trip to Scotland will help prepare me for ministry in areas that are consider Post-Christian. This means that the people have heard or even been to church but have turned away from it, and that Christianity is no longer the predominate religion or that the towns people do not even claim a religious belief. Your support will help me as I prepare to learn and minister to this people
How to Participate
1. Read through the list of Prayers and decide which one you would like-Reminder that the number picked is the amount you are willing to donate
Black Text= not taken Red=taken
2. Shoot me an email (bnthompson0123@gmail.com) with the Prayer Leaf number that you are choosing
3. Send donate:
Give in person (or leave in school mail box)- please do not leave it in my house mail box as people can steal it
Mail it to General Church Treasure Church of the Nazarene
17001 Prairie Star Parkway Lenexa, KS 66220
Include: My Name (Brianna Thompson)
Ardrossan, Scotland
Missions Corp
There will be a place to donate online, but it is still in the making (will update soon)
4. Send me your address so that I can make you a Prayer Leaf to keep as a reminder
5. Really do take the prayers to heart :)
Misc.
This project has the potential to provide all cost that I have for this trip ($22,000), but the real importance is the prayers that will come from this
Also, if the lower numbers run out and the higher ones aren't an option, maybe you can find a friend or two that will partner up with you and split the cost or you could have one of the prayers at whatever you are willing to give. The numbers are just a suggested amount to donate.
Thank you all for your support!
