My Time of Need

I come to you now requesting your very best prayers.

I have been working more than 60 hours a week for many weeks.

Nearly all that time was focused on preparing the crowd funding platform.

By the grace of God that site went public last week.

I sent out prayer requests and promoted the site to many dozen of my contacts.

Honestly I had fully expected to receive some donations by now.

I did get feedback today saying that the introduction video audio quality is poor.

I will reshoot that video and replace the original one soon.

As of noon on Tuesday there were zero donations.

Frankly I feel surprised and disappointed.

This has caused a minor crisis of my faith.

I had felt sure that God was guiding me in this direction.

I had felt that this will lead to both paying my modest bills and getting me on the road trips.

There are many more ways to promote the crowd funding site that I have not used yet.

I have 27 more days until the campaign end on October 5.

The goal is 3 thousand dollars and I had hoped to raise 5 thousand.

I have been using other options to promote the crowd funding site already.

Pray for God to grant me His wisdom in doing this effectively.

There are many online articles about how to do this.

I have read some and applied their instructions.

I will read and apply more.

Meanwhile there are bills to pay.

I had been very blessed by generous donors recently that got me this far.

However here is what is due and past due.

I had been waiting and hoping for income from the crowd funding site until the last minute

But now I need to request special prayers for these immediate needs.

I recall that during the last 10 weeks God had provided at the last minute before.

31 dollars for a month of cell phone

30 to 100 dollars for 10 dollars per night to sleep at the homeless shelter 3 to 10 nights

70 to 140 dollars with fees is a minimum

110 dollars for storage of my things to be paid before September 19 or goes on auction

I have paid for my stay tonight at the shelter.

I need to pay at least 10 dollars by tomorrow evening.

I would like to pay 30 to 100 dollars.

I hope that my cell phone service does not get cut off.

Then there is likely an additional fee to reconnect.

Pray for God to guide and provide.

May the Lord Jesus Christ lead my thoughts, words and deeds.

If you have lots of faith then go ahead and pray for the 3 thousand dollar goal to be met.

Pray for the 500 dollars to come in soon that will break the ice.

The 500 and 3 thousand dollars can be raised as God leads me to promote the site.

Here is the link to the crowd funding platform.

You can go there to promote it to others and to make a gift.
