A lot of people have tons of questions about specifics about my trip. Lucky for me, a fellow August racer put together a frequently asked question blog entry! You can check it out here: http://joelwilliams.theworldrace.org/?filename=faq-ver-1
If you have any more questions PLEASE feel free to ask! I’m not sure if I will be able to answer them as of now but I’ll do my best…and besides, I love mail! 🙂
Also, God has been seriously blessing me lately. When I went on my last mission trip to Poland I was in serious need of a lot of finacial support literally until the week I left. I can remember crying my eyes out at my sister’s house with no idea how I was going to come up with the money. Everyone I had sent letters to had already sent in their support and I was still significantly short. We spent time in prayer and honestly, to this day I’m not entirely sure how all of my money came in (besides God’s checkbook!), but it did. I got back to the US with all of my finances in tact. Praise God! This time around I am not freaking out. Support is coming in…slowly but surely…and I’m just trusting God with it all. I am so blessed with family and friends who trip after trip faithfully support me. Even $1 is a blessing…especially when I know that person is praying for me. To find people who are genuinely excited to pray for me, my team, and the trip…it makes my day!! THANK YOU to those who have already sent in their support and let me know their praying for me…I couldn’t do it without you!!
In one of the books I’m reading, Always Enough there was this quote:”Because He died, there is always enough”. In the book they were referring to food but I interpreted that to mean money as well. He died for me and because He called me to the mission field He will provide….I just need to trust Him. God is faithful, He truly is.
