So….a few weeks ago, after some serious prompting from the Lord, I made the decision to take a HUGE leap of faith and apply to go on the World Race. For those of you who do not know, the World Race is a mission trip where you go to 11 countries in 11 months. In those countries I will be loving on people and telling them about Jesus. My heart is for the nations and to see people come to know the Lord. What better way to do that, right?!
So, here I am, a couple weeks later. I’ve been accepted to go and, Lord willing, I will leave in January. I am excited and terrified all in the same moments. Growth is never easy, right?!
Like any other mission trip, I have to raise my own support. My first deadline is September 25th and I owe $3900 by that time. Yes, you read that right. September 25th. Don’t worry, it threw me for a loop too!
I have already been struggling so much with being fearful that the money won’t come. I am ashamed at how little faith I have in my God. He can move mountains. He provides for the birds, yet I doubt whether or not He will provide for me?! In the past 2 weeks, the Lord has continued to assure me and tell me to trust Him. I continue to hear the still small voice of the Holy Spirit saying, “Trust me Jodi. I called you to this”. So that’s what I’m doing. I’m throwing out all my fear and doubt and I’m trusting the Lord. Is it easy? NO! But I totally believe that my God is faithful.
I covet prayers right now. This is a big transition in my life and I have SOOO much to do before I leave.
If you would like to give towards my trip, please click the orange box that says “Support Me”. You have no idea how much I would appreciate it!
