September 2010 World Race. We had an amazing night of authentic Asian cuisine, awesome fellowship, and ended with a riveting film called Furious Love. With 25 friends in attendance to show their love and support, this was a great opportunity for me to share my heart and cast vision for what I believe the Lord is calling our team towards in these next 11 months.
To be a Witness of the Word and a Minister of Miracles everywhere I go! I simply want to live out Mark 16:20, "And they went out and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the message by accompanying signs." I desire to be one that preaches the gospel whose message is confirmed by signs and wonders.
And I can't help but continually come back to what Jesus told His disciples in Matthew 10, "The kingdom of heaven is at hand," therefore, "Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give."
If Jesus called the founders of the early church to do these works of wonder, why should we as followers of Christ be any different? The kingdom of heaven is still at hand and the Lord still works miracles, so as God's redeemed creation let's
take back the dominion the enemy has stolen from us.
Currently, I am raising up a team of prayer warriors and financial partners who share with me the same desire to see the
Gospel of Grace be brought forth to every nation, tribe, and tongue. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You for those that have already chosen to partner with me in this ministry! If you would like to give and have not yet had an opportunity to do so,
I would love for you to join me in this endeavor.
If you have a heart to bring salvation to the lost, restoration to the broken, and deliverance to the captives,
then I would be honored for you to be a strategic partner with me. I am so excited for what God has in store and am eager
to begin this journey with all of you. Without your blessing, prayer, and support none of this would be possible.
Thank you for your tremendous sacrifice and investment in my life!
Current Support Amount – $4,583
Balance Still Needed – $9,717
Grand Total Support – $14,300
Alright, we've already raised over 32% of our goal! Thank you so much for getting me this far. You guys are amazing! And one great aspect of raising support for this mission trip is that I only need to have 60% of all my support in before I leave in September and then I can raise the rest while on the field. So we only need another 28% ($4,000) to launch out and begin our ministry.
Therefore, the next 2 1/2 months will be a critical time towards reaching our goal. To help us along the way, the World Race staff has actually given my fellow racers and I a few support goal deadlines. These set targets serve as a guideline of where I should be financially in raising support and you guys will be a crucial asset in meeting them. So if you could help out in anyway, big or small, monthly or one-time, I would greatly appreciate your support.
**June 16, 2010 – $4,000**
July 14, 2010 – $7,000
August 18, 2010 – $8,500
Woo hoo! We have already reached and surpassed our first goal. 1 down, now 2 more to go! I know that we can achieve these goals together. The Lord has been so faithful in the past and I know that He will continue to be steadfast to complete the work that He has already begun (Phil 1:6). I pray that whatever you sow into His kingdom you will reap even more generously.

I can't tell you all thank you enough for being a part of this amazing adventure. I feel so blessed to be able to do this and essentially be an ambassador for all of you who are sending me. I pray that the Lord blesses you abundantly more than you have blessed me for all the provision, prayer, and investment that you have made in my life (2 Cor. 9:6-12). I am truly amazed and humbled by all of your overwhelming support. Together let's use the talents, resources, and gifts God has given us to proclaim
His glory and spread His kingdom all over the earth!
