What a terrifying number…$16,285??
I have to admit, it is NOT easy to wrap my brain around how I’m supposed to get people to give me $16,285 within the next year!
But lucky for me…I’m not supposed to get people to give me that money. I’m supposed to put my faith in God, and that if it is His will that I join the World Race, He will provide!
Ever since I accepted the offer to join this Race, God has put me at a supernatural ease! I have definitely been praying about raising support and have a had several conversations about “how I’m going to do it”, but God has been there reassuring me every step of the way! Don’t get me wrong, as I think about this right now…it is still hard for me to wrap my mind around. But then again, God is hard to wrap my mind around…and that excites me! So why shouldn’t this journey of faithfully raising support excite me?
Why should I fear not raising enough money?
Why should I lean on my own understandings? (…when it has worked out so well for me before…)
Why shouldn’t I listen to what the world says, and just do it all by myself?
Because this is not my journey to take alone!
God’s intention for us is not to be alone, but to be in community with each other. This task of raising $16,285 is not for me to do alone, just like going on the World Race is not for me to do alone. I may be the one “going” and “doing”, but there are many more pieces to this body.
I just happen to be the one that is called to go, what are you called to do?
Are you called to pray? (YES) Are you called to give? (Maybe) Are you called to help me fundraise? (Maybe) Are you called to help me spiritually prepare for this journey? (Maybe) Are you called to sit and watch me do this on my own? (I hope not)
It would be selfish of me to NOT ask you to join me!
So here is me asking.
Will you join me?
Will you make that $16,285 smaller?
Will you help me prepare for this Race?
Will you pray with me?
Will you give whatever it is that you have to offer? Not for me but for the Kingdom!
Whatever it is that you can give or do…
Thank you!
Thank you, not for believing in me, but for believing in what God is doing through this Race!
Also…I plan to send out my official support letters within the next week or two! (YAY!)
If you would like to receive an official letter, please comment on this post, send me a message on FB, or shoot me an email at [email protected]. I would be more than happy get a letter to you!
