[what]S'up, Wednesday?

[what]S'up, Wednesday?" is a place where I give updates about how day to day life is going as I work recruiting Deaf students to be involved with CRU, ASL Interpreters to meet the subsequent communication needs incurred, and prayer partners/a financial support base to join me on the journey. It will typically include something that has just happened, a "forecast of my schedule, and an update on my financial situation.. :)
          ******************************************************************

Happenings: I'm on the east coast! Check out my schedule to see where I'll be when. :) Jaelyn is with me - at 10 months old - this is her 3rd out-of-state trip. She travels well, and seems to like going by plane more than going by car (a girl after her momma's heart). She also just started walking on her own. She is thoroughly enjoying it too - cracking herself up as she goes!

Schedule: Break down of my 2 week trip~
this past Monday (8th) to Thursday (11th) networking in D.C. 
Friday (12th) and Saturday (13th) friends wedding in Maryland
Sunday (14th) catching up with "interpreter friends of project" in Philly
Monday (15th) to Thursday (18th) visiting potential new site for Deaf friendly summer project next year on the coast of New Jersey, also meeting with new potential donors
Friday (19th) back to D.C. 
Saturday (20th) friend from college, and fellow interpreters wedding in Virginia 
Sunday (21st) giving update at Deaf partner church north of D.C. 
Monday (22nd) flying home!

Finances: Thanks to a generous donor, I was given a "Matching Grant" towards the Interpreting Fund budget for the year 2015. My budget for the year is $84,000. I am so grateful to have this opportunity to learn how to use a "Matching Grant" fund, and am looking forward to meeting with new partners to join me in supplying these needs. To date I have had $1,280  donated towards the matching grant, meaning that since January, I have raised $2,560. That leaves $25,976  to still be raised. If you know of anyone interested in donating towards this amount, please hit reply (if you are reading this in your inbox) or contact me at jenna.buperry @ cru.org to introduce me to you friends! We know the phrase, "It takes a village to raise a child" - I'll add, "it takes a community to 'win, build and send' laborers for Christ!" Would you join my community?

If you desire to partner with me monthly, my personal account is #0865449. I now have a bio page set up on the Cru give.org site with a link to my blog, and easy giving accessibility. 

Thanks for stewarding your resources well! 

Soli Deo Gloria
