Spending time with family and friends


I have been back in the US for a month now. It’s been so good to spend time with my family and see my friends again after such a long time. The only thing I do not love is this cold weather. I have not seen winter in two years and I am not enjoying it much. But other than that I love getting to spend time with people, getting caught up on each other’s lives and getting to hear all the awesome things God is doing in their lives.

My oldest brother got married the end of October, so I got to spend the first two weeks of my time with him and his little family! I loved spending time with my little niece and getting to know my sister in-law and helping with all the wedding fun. I was a bridesmaid for their wedding. And now have a beautiful new sister!

My mom and I are off to Florida for two weeks the end of November. I’m looking forward to getting out of this cold weather and into some nice tropical weather!! I am so excited to be getting to spend time with my cousin and her growing family as she is expecting her second baby when we are there! I am also looking ford to getting caught up with some very dear friends of mine!

As I am back in the US I have been trying to work on my finances among other things. I currently have $850 coming in monthly with a goal of $2,000 a month. I am very thankful for everyone’s generosity in supporting me through monthly donations, one time gifts, or more importantly praying for me and everything God is doing through me and around me. I am so blessed to have so many wonderful friends and family supporting me in so many ways as I walk through this journey of life. I love having so many wonderful people to get to share all the amazing things God is doing in my life. I would never be able to live the life that God has called me to if it weren’t for your generosity and support.

I ask that you would pray about supporting me financially and or supporting me through prayer; whatever God puts on your heart to do. I have $850 out of the $2,000 monthly support coming in right now. This $2,000 covers all room and bored, travel cost such as hotels and such if need (we travel a lot with teams all summer), and also helps with ministry overhead such as helping with projects, as well as covering personal costs such as my phone bill and extra things I might need and traveling to and from the US, which I hope to do once a year to visit family and friends.

My hope is to raise enough while I am home to be able to stay for a full year; to make that possible I need to raise $8,000. If God has put it one your heart to donate please go to www.fiaministries.com/give/ please make sure you chose my name (Amanda Culver) under the menu where you choose where your donation goes.
