We still have one more day to finish out our fundraising efforts, so here’s the latest update to give you an idea of where we’re at!!

The Goals

Vision of Hope has the goal of raising $40,000 in this year’s event.  We hope to do that by recruiting 40 teams who each have the goal of raising $1,000 for the ministry.

Vision of Hope has 217 registered participants on 34 different teams, which is 85% of our team recruitment goal. Last week we had 189 registered participants on 32 teams.  Between the Seminary and VOH there are 298 registered participants.

As of today, we have collectively raised $28,790 (as of 8:30 am this morning), which is up from two days ago $26,628.  We are at 71.9% of our fundraising goal!  Thank you to everyone that worked so hard at fundraising this week.  We’re almost there!

How YOU Can Help –

It is our goal to continue to offer the Vision of Hope program to hurting young women at a very low cost. You can play a part in keeping this ministry up and running! We only need $11,210 more to meet our goal!  If we all work together, we can do it!!!  Let’s do everything
we can to raise $40,000 together.

We need prayer! If you cannot support financially, you can be a GREAT support to us by diligently praying for the safety of the race participants and that God will provide for our financial needs through this fundraiser. If not for the prayers of faithful people like you, we would not be  able to keep our ministry going!

Thank you again for being involved in supporting the work that God is doing through Vision of Hope to serve hurting girls.  We are so very thankful for your prayers and support.

Bethany heard about Vision of Hope while attending Word of Life Bible Institute in Florida. When she began praying about what God wanted her to do after graduating, He kept bringing Vision of Hope to her mind. Knowing that there was an internship available, Bethany applied, was accepted, and began her internship with VOH in July, 2012. Since then she has been amazed at the opportunities God has given her to learn more about His Word and how it applies to everyday life. Bethany now serves on staff at Vision of Hope.
