Hello there,


I haven’t properly given a long-form update here in a couple of months. I do have some updates though. I am just going to write a “stream of consciousness” type of entry here. Enjoy the lack of organization.


Well, I am officially fully funded as of the end of April! I am honestly still floored by the Lord’s provision in all of this. Not only in finance but in the team that He has built for me in this fundraising season. I just want to genuinely thank everyone who has decided to partner with me in this. This team is full of blood-related family and spiritual family, old friends and new friends, and just the most shockingly strong believers I have had the privilege to break bread with. I love you all and am so grateful for you taking a step to be with me in this.


Being fully funded means that I have done some finalizing in my financial budgeting and just some logistics in the past few weeks. I will be moving to our World Headquarters located in Cocoa Beach Florida at the beginning of June. I am blessed to be based in Florida, so I won’t be completely unable to see my people. Expect me to pop back into town to say hey and grab a meal still.


I have been so blessed by my friends and family who have either offered to help or have given me an instant yes when I have asked for help. One of my friends is going to adopt my beloved cat and give him a wonderful home. I adopted my cat (his name is Bats) when I was 20 years old and living on my own. He has been with me through a lot of big things that occurred in my life, good and bad. He has been my little pillow to cry on, my constant playmate, conversationalist, and most consistent roommate as I have moved upwards of seven times with him now. I know it may sound dramatic to some, but I am going to miss that cat so extremely much.


This past week I was able to go up to Georgia and visit my grandmother and aunt. It was such a lovely time of rest honestly. We stayed up late telling stories and laughing for 4 days straight. It was so nostalgic to walk around a place I grew up visiting. The trees. The hills. The mountains. The smells of the flowers. Makes me miss Georgia and the proper south quite a bit more than I realized. It will always be a special place for me.


Something else exciting that has happened is that I have, with help, ordered and received all my camera gear. Between asking friends for gear advice and seeking budgeting help, it is all completed. It takes a city to build a camera kit sometimes, I think. Building out this kit has been so fun though and I feel so absurdly spoiled by the Lord for it. It just grows my excitement for what the Lord is calling me to. I still can’t believe I get to do ministry, take photos, and make films for the Lord. Wild.



This September I will be going to Zambia to start filming an extremely exciting project we are working on as a team. I will give more details on what the project is about at a different time, I promise. Currently, we are working on all of the pre-production required to film everything. Our team is less than ten people sprinkled all around the world. As you can imagine, communication within four different time zones has been a funny thing to work around. All worth it in the end and it tends to bring a lot of comedic humor to the process, which I always welcome. Win-win if you ask me.


Anyways, I think that’s just about it on this update. I will give a more detailed update as I move and get settled into my office with the others on my team. I hope you all are doing well. If you have any prayer requests, feel free to reach out to me personally or comment on them below. I want to know what is going on in your lives and walk with you through it to the best of my ability. Pen-pals can be the best type of friend at times.


With love,

V

Victoria,

Thank you for the update! I am thinking about you and praying for you! I'm so excited for your move to the east coast of Florida and your trip to beautiful Zambia. I just know you are going to produce amazing marketing material and I can't wait to see your final product! It will make Overland and what they do come alive for all of us supporters! God be with you at all times. Love your way, Becky W
