Support Raising: The Daily Trust Fall (without the shine or the shame)

I've officially dived into support raising. I haven't received a paycheck since the end of May, and I won't start receiving funds from SportQuest until I've met my support raising goals. So I'm in the gap. I've leapt from the relative financial security of full time teaching, into a season of support raising and team building. I'm sending letters, making calls, and setting up face to face meetings with as many people as possible to share the vision the Lord has given me for sports ministry in Baton Rouge and to lay out financial goals that I have set to be able to pursue this vision. This current season requires me to live day to day without knowing where funds to cover basic expenses will come from. I suppose it's like doing the trust fall with Jesus. By "trust fall" I mean that thing most of us have done in some kind of team building exercise or at a summer camp where we stand on a platform and fall backwards into the arms of our teammates.
