How to Give

Tax Deductible Gifts

Checks should be made out to "All Nations Family" and sent to:

All Nations Family
PO Box 55
Grandview, MO 64030

IMPORTANT!
Personal donations (giving to a specific individual) must have a separate note sent with the check. Do not write in the memo line of your check.

Be sure to include your name and return address in order to receive a tax-deductible receipt for your donation.
  
Gifts to All Nations are tax deductible. Spending of All Nations funds are only for Board approved projects and purposes. Funds given towards a project are used as designated by the donor, with the understanding that when the need of that project has been met, or cannot be completed for reasons determined by the board, the remaining funds will be used where needed most. (EIN #87-0701288)        

Other Ways to Give

Should you want to give through a different method or means (e.g. cash, frequent flyer miles, etc.), please contact me at traveling.kirsten@gmail.com.

For any other finance questions use my email above. Thank you!

Travel Plans Updated!


By God’s grace, I found truly miraculous tickets with perfect price, minimal stops, and optimal timing. For those that think God doesn't care about the little details, He even managed to route me through an easy airport (MSP)! I’ll be flying into Taipei in the evening of the 29th, but plan to stay with a friend before taking a high-speed train to Tainan. 
·

 Current Budget Status
I’m nearly 60% funded! (i.e. percentage of my planned trip budget) Thank the Lord and thanks to you all! 

As of this week, I am now a field-worker for All Nations Family. Any gifts sent through them are tax-deductable. For more information, see my blog post titled: How to Give. If you have any further questions, please email me.

 Cards
Enjoy art? Want unique stationary? I am and always will be an artist. As part of my fundraising, my designs are available as stationary. To view options, check out my art blog: designsbykirsten.blogspot.com.


·      With my flight purchased, all my planning has begun to solidify, but there are still many, many decisions to be made. Currently, I’m working through my housing options and serving opportunities. Please pray for me as I continue to prepare. 

Further updates to come!
