Ways to Partner

I'm well on my way in support raising mode and I wanted to let all of you know the various ways you can become a partner in this amazing ministry work I will be doing in Zimbabwe for Celebration Church. I've already started meeting with many people here in Jacksonville and I can't wait to meet with more of you over the next several months! It's such an honor for me to share the vision with so many people!! As I call or contact you just remember that this is an opportunity to invest/partner and reap eternal blessings in God's kingdom and it's a joy for me to even be able to share about this ministry with you.

In order to get to my mission field in Zimbabwe I need partners to help in 2 ways:

Become a monthly partner AND/OR become a partner by giving towards my Launch Expenses.

There are a few different payment methods and all are super easy.

- You can pay online right here on my BlogSpot by clicking the PayPal link to the right and money will go directly into my Celebration Zimbabwe account.

-You can fill out the pledge card you have or will receive in the mail. Monthly partners need to fill out the pledge card for monthly automatic payments as online is not set up for monthly automatic donations. My focus is to build a strong team of monthly partners. Will you consider joining the team for $25, $50, $75, or $100 a month?

-You can make a check out to Celebration Church with my name and code A6236 in the memo line.

Pledge Cards/Checks are to be sent to my attention at 7749 Greenwich Ct E, Jax, FL 32277. Then they will be turned in to Celebration's accounting department.

If you attend Celebration Church you can also turn into offering.

Thanks much and I'm already in awe of how God is working through people in my life.

Blessings and love!

World-Changers!

Here are the awesome men and women of God I got to attend the Boot Camp fundraising seminar with in Greenville, SC. What an amazing group of people to learn with!! I got to hang out with my Overland Missions buddies and meet all sorts of amazing talented people in the ministry. Good times.

Feeling Empowered!

So, I'm sitting here at my friend's house in the mountains of Tennessee just in awe of what God is doing in my life. I just got done attending an intense 2-day support raising seminar called Boot Camp in Greenville, SC through an organization called The BodyBuilders. Wow, it's really changed my outlook on support raising!! Now I feel ready and empowered and can't wait to ask people to partner into the amazing ministry with Celebration Zimbabwe. Because that's what it really is; it's inviting people to be involved in something life-changing. I'm letting vision and compassion pull my train and not the budget. It's an honor for me to sit down with people face to face and share what God has put on my heart for Zimbabwe. I'm not begging for money, I'm walking into the calling God has for me and building a support family to help me walk into that calling.

I've already met face to face with several friends and family and God has already blessed those meetings.

Many of you have probably received my support letter detailing my journey and what I will be doing in Zimbabwe. That's just a heads-up letter to let you know my plans. Over the next several months I will be sitting down face to face with people that have been a part of my life and helped shape it. See, I want my support family to be EXCITED, to feel that they are part of this ministry in Zimbabwe, to know what they are investing in.

I'll leave you now with some great quotes and tips I learned- it's good stuff.

Blessings and love- Shannon
