Update on Fundraising: Part One

Hey Everyone!

We wanted to give you an update on our fundraising so far. As a quick reminder we are needing to fund raise a total of $5,000 for both of us. 

To date we have raised $1,267 from Rachel and myself individually fundraising and our church envelope fundraiser, which means we still need to raise $3,733 in roughly a month.


We thank those who have already donated so generously - we truly appreciate the partnership and support.


If you would like to donate to help us go serve in Panama, we would be so grateful! We are already seeing the ways that God is moving and working and we are so excited that we get to be a small part of what He has planned for the San Blas Islands this Christmas.

• You can send or give a check to Jessica or Rachel, made out to either one of us or Big World Ventures. 

• You can donate directly to Big World Ventures online at : http://neverthesamemissions.org/donate/ using a credit card and filling in either one of our names in the Missionary Name box.

• Participate in our envelope fundraiser. There are still some envelopes left ranging from $1 to $50. There are available every Sunday after church in the lobby.

• Pray for the people of Panama, that their hearts would be open to the Gospel, and that God would do immeasurably more even than what we could imagine.

• Pray that the Lord will provide for us in an extraordinary way.

You are making a difference! Thank you!

Rachel and Jessica

Coming Soon: An Envelope Fundraiser

Hi everybody!

Some of you have already asked how you can get involved with our trip this Christmas, and we're so grateful! We need you and we're so excited to bring you along as much as we can.

We are going to start an envelope fundraiser. How it works is there are fifty envelopes, each with a number on them (1-50). Each person gets an envelope and fills it with the matching amount - so if you take the #2 envelope, you put in $2, the number #36 gets $36 and so on. If all the envelopes get filled, we will have raised over $1,200!

We will have the envelopes set out at our church after the regular service time. We are also planning on doing two sets of envelopes since there are two of us going.

We are asking that everyone bring the envelopes back to Jessica the following week at church, or at the very latest, by the 23rd of November. We are going to be using the majority of the money from this fundraiser for our plane tickets! We are also asking that everyone would put their name on the back of the envelope so that we can properly thank everyone who is supporting us!

Be on the lookout for those starting this Sunday!

Grateful for all of you,

Rachel and Jessica
