Thank You Supporters!
I have officially raised 100% of my support. (This includes monthly supporters, so please dont stop sending in those monthly donations) Thank you to everyone who has given along the way. It feels so good to finally have the funds I need to go on the World Race. When I started this process at the beginning of June, this day seemed like a lifetime away. But God is faithful. My mind can now move on to more important things like surrendering myself fully to Christ so I can be His hands and feet this next year.
Launch is now only 5 days away. Even as I write that I still dont think it has quite hit me what that means. In 5 days I will be getting on an airplane and wont be back in the United States for 340 days. In 5 days I will beginning a journey Ive felt God calling me on for a long time. In 5 days I will be working in the slums of Manila, sharing the Gospel and providing basic needs to hundreds (thousands) of street orphans. I believe God’s Kingdom is expanding and it will continue to expand through the work of the World Race. Life is truly exciting when you play an active part in God’s redemptive story! 
Even as I rejoice in how God has provided my support through all of you, 2 of my teammates are still trying to raise the rest of their support. Brenda Wilchowy and Beverly Rhoades have both raised ~50% and need you to help them raise the rest. Family, friends, and random blog readers if God is putting it on your heart, please consider given them financial support. As members of team Dunamis I have grown to love and treasure these women. Our team will not be complete without them. Since they have raised 50% of their support they will be allowed to launch this Friday, but as soon as their account runs out they will be sent home. Please dont let this happen.
Thank you again! Your support, prayers and encouragement have been such a blessing to me so far in this process and they will only become more valuable as I set off this Friday.
