Vietam! I will soon be posting a blog about this country, but seeing as I have only been here for 2 days I am going to update all of you with an urgent request.
I am coming home back to America sooner than expected, come the end of December to be exact.
Or at least that is what I will have to say if am not fully funded at the end of this month. Thus, I really need your help financially. Let me first say that I am GENUINELY grateful for all of your support, I truly am! I can’t express how much love I feel from all of you, it blows my mind with how many of you believe in our God and what He is doing in and through me. Thank you.
Without your support I would not have had all these life changing experiences! Now when I say “life changing”, I don’t just mean my life. I mean the life of the Muslim man in Malaysia who heard for the first time that he is loved by God despite his short comings. The man with a skin disease who felt loved as I laid my hands over his deformed body in order to pray for the Fathers love to wash over him like a raging waterfall. I’m talking about my brother in Christ with whom I just wept with as he told me about suicidal thoughts going through his head, but now feels nothing of the sort as he told me, “As I cried and looked in your eyes I knew I was looking into the eyes of Jesus, and it brought much comfort knowing that Jesus would weep for a man like me.” (For those of you who don’t know my story, the suicide of a friend plays a huge role in me finding God.)
I need your help brothers and sisters! Stories and experiences like these would have never happened if not for you all back home, and remember that even greater things than these will happen if I remain in the field. I understand the field is also in America, but God has called me to the Nations and my time in the nations is not complete until God calls me home. I pray not for 6 more months.
I know my God, and I know that He has put it on some of your hearts to financially support me. I know this for He has done it to me in the past and continues to tell me who to support while I am even overseas. So I ask you, when you have nothing going on around you; no TV, no music, no friends or family, and nothing to do or complete, to place yourself in solitude and ask this simple question, “Do you, my Father, my God, with whom I love and praise, desire me to financially support Grayson? If so, how much?”
Then be quite and listen, listen to your heart, and He WILL tell you. Bring a journal or something to write on and write down the first thing that comes to your heart and mind. Write it down, because after the answer there will quickly come fear and doubt.
So go to the left and click on the link that says "(2,695.97) left to raise! Support Here" and then follow the instructions. Please obey the Father for it brings much freedom. Remember, obedience is the ultimate reward in following our Father. I pray this over all of you:
"I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:3-6
