Welcome Back!
Before I even go into the "Why" I need to thank each and every person who participated in the first fundraiser I did back in 2012 (When I was going to the Philippines!) Thanks to you guys and God's mighty provision, we were able to send me and my team to the Philippines back in 2012. Can you believe it's been 2 years?! My profile picture is from that trip and it was trip that got me bit by the "Missionary Bug". Since that time, we have performed Casaq The Eagle for over 20,000 people! WOW!
Wait...who is Ashley!?
For those of you beautiful people who just happened to stumble on this campaign, hello and welcome! My name is Ashley. I am super passionate about Jesus Christ and the furthering of His Kingdom in the hearts of people. I'm a 28 year old full time volunteer and missionary at All Nations International. All Nations is a non-Profit organization in the uniquely picturesque desert of Southern California (Like how I did that there? ;] ) For 60 years, All Nations has focused on bringing the vision of Isaiah 58 to the needy, underserved and broken people of the world by providing: leadership training, basic agriculture, sanitation and health training to raise the standard of living for those individuals. We bring the Gospel in whatever the Spirit leads. Right now, Casaq is one of those means.
OK...So What Is Casaq??
Casaq The Eagle is the story of an Eagle who falls from his nest, while still in his egg, during a dark, terrible storm. Through mentorship of 3 elder eagles, he learns that he was created for more, and through forgiveness, wisdom and determination, he rises to become what he was created to be. I have been a part of the play since it's beginning in 2012. I have been to the Morongo and Soboba Reservations in S. California, the Fort Mohave Indian Reservation in Arizona, and the Philippines to perform the play. To date, we have done the performance for over 20,000 people live, and countless online thanks to the recording of the performance in the Philippines.
What Is Crow Fair?
So as you read, Casaq The Eagle going to take flight to Montana this summer. Montana is home to seven large, federally recongnized tribes, one of them being the Crow Nation. The Crows host Crow Fair every year, and it's one of the largest Native Gatherings in North America, attracting hundreds if not thousands of First Nation People and non-natives alike from across the nation. But it's so much more than that! It's an opportunity to touch hundreds with the story of forgivness, determination, and the courage to rise above your circumstances and reach your God-given potential!
Why Is That Important?
At All Nations we believe that God is big God and He has all different ways of having His Gospel shared, and if He wants to use the Arts, we are all for that! Performing this play for the First Nations is a way for God to share His love, grace and to show His beloved First Nations that they can fly on His eagle wings! The Crow Reservation already has a deep spiritual heritage, going back to Aimee Semple McPherson. We have the opportunity to reach out to many First Nations as well as non-natives. How amazing!
What Will I Be Doing?
I am going to Montana for 10 days, a week prior to Crow Fair. We will be working with a local Church on the Crow Reservation, handing out flyers for the Fair and more importantly, praying for the land and for the attendants who will be there. I will also be participating in the play as a Storm Dancer.
What Are You Going To Do?
You can be a part of Casaq The Eagle helping send me! Casaq has never been a one person show. It takes many peole, including our sponsors and supporters to make it possible. When I went to to the Philippines in 2012, I went with all of my sponsors behind me, because without them, I couldn't have gone! Their gift went towards the Kingdom of God. Right now, I have decided to leave my part time job in my full time passion pursuit of Jesus. This trip will cost $320. That is round trip, and inlcudes my luggage. I can't even go to Florida for that amount!
So, What Are You Waiting For?
Even if its $2, every penny counts and is prayerfully appreciated! Will you join us in this journey?
"What If I Can't Give?"
If you can't give, please share the link, spread the word. And if you think you can't give $1, think again! I had someone give $3, and it was as much of a blessing as $100! Thank you so much!
What Happens To Your Donations?
Your donations will go through All Nations International, a non-profit organization that NEEPUganda is under. That means your donations are TAX DEDUCTABLE! It's the gift that gives back! Isn't that great?
What Happens If I Don't Make It?
If I don't make the deadline, the money will go to the next trip we will take to Uganda. The money will only be used for that trip and the things pertaining to that trip (Visas, vaccinations, trip necessities). Thank you!
