Return to Seminary: I can't do it without you!

As many of you know, God has been doing amazing things in my life lately. Just a few days ago, I asked God to help me get an assignment from the newspaper if I was to apply to seminary and as you may have read within 10 minutes my editor called me and had an assignment. I know my call to seminary and ministry is real-how I know it, is that God is bringing things together for me. However, I also know it is a real call because Satan has truly been after me these past few days.

I have decided on two schools that I really want to apply and feel like would be the best fit for me...but before I can make my final decision, I need to visit these two schools first hand. This way I can make an educated choice.  Last night, a well-meaning person, asked me "Rachel, if God is directing you to one, the other doesn't matter." My answer to that was "Test all spirits." You see if we don't test the spirits then we will end up taking the long way around to get to the final destination!
In order to visit these two schools though, I need money! Something that is in short supply currently. So I have decided to appeal to the goodwill of others...in so doing this, I have created a gofundme account.

Jesus says at the end of the sermon on the mount, ask and it shall be given unto you! So if you are interested in donating to my "Phase 1" plan--Visiting Seminaries (Asbury and Duke Divinity School) this link: www.gofundme.com/2v7nvhrw

The money will be used for:

• One Visit to two (2) seminaries
• Asbury Theological Seminary in Kentucky
• Duke Divinity School in North Carolina

• Travel Expenses
• Gas
• Hotel
• Meals

Any money left over, will be put towards my second phase of seminary journey...books, tuition, etc. The second phase will move from a gofundme page to a paypal account---this will allow me to have gifts given to me to not only advance my schooling and help me come out of seminary debt free; it will also allow me to write to my supporters and send out via email updates on my ministry and journey to being ordained as a minister. 

I look forward to journeying with you all as we plant seeds into the lives of others.
