WHAT!?!?! Do I really see this correctly? Am I really FULLY FUNDED??? I am!!! As of Wednesday, I have all my funds! (On that note IF YOU ARE MAKING A MONTHLY DONATION PLEASE CANCEL IT! It will now just go to the general fund of Adventures in Missions if you continue to donate. To cancel, you need to call them at 800-881-2461.) I have now reached my full $16,561 that I needed. I did not need the full sum until January 31, 2017. God has provided it a full two months in advance and just in time for Thanksgiving! THANK YOU so much to the people who have donated and prayed for donations! I don’t think it has sunk in or ever will how much money that really is… That is a crazy amount of money. When I first got accepted to the Race, I sat there and thought how hard it would be to get that full amount. But in less than a year, God has provided it. It is amazing, and I am very grateful!
Again, thank you so much to the people who have donated. You worked hard to earn the money that you gave me. I feel so blessed by the fact that you would give me that money. Knowing that you have given your hard earned money for me to share the Gospel has given me an extra reason, if I needed one, to be bold with the Gospel and the relationships I have made with people so far.
If you are still looking for ways to support my team and me, here are a few ways:
1) Prayer is always a great way to support my team and me. Some specific things to pray for are that we would have opportunities to share the Gospel and would be bold with it. Also, that we would be open to the changes that God is making in our lives as well as others as we continue the Race. We need to see who we are in Christ to be able to share His Gospel clearly.
2) Follow my blogs! You have done a lot towards getting me on my Race, so I hope you will read along and enjoy the experiences you’ve made possible. Plus, I am excited to share, and I just want you guys to follow what is going on! You can subscribe by clicking the orange “Subscribe for Updates” button on the left.
3) Lastly, help support my teammates who still need funding:
- Mariah: http://mariahpaden.theworldrace.org/
- Emily: http://emilydoherty.theworldrace.org/
- Rebekah: http://rebekahdavidson.theworldrace.org/
They are almost to their goals and just need a little help! Please pray about it and consider supporting them in their race.
Again, thank you so much for your generosity through money as well as prayers! I feel extremely blessed that you have chosen to donate, pray, and follow my Race! I am very grateful!
YAY!!!!
On a side note, a HUGE thank you goes to my family for helping me make it to my goal. Particularly my Mom and Dad! They have done countless hours of work to make this happen! Thank you so much. I love you and miss you a ton and a half!
And another side note, Tuesday we leave by train to start our 48-hour journey to Changlun, Malaysia. Malaysia is over 60% Muslim and our ministry for the month will be with a school called LOGO. I’ll let you guys know more as I know more!
