I would like to introduce all of my blogging community to Alison Ingle. I first met Alison when she randomly walked into my house church one Sunday afternoon in July. Courageously she had come to our sometimes overwhelmingly large house church (45+ members) in search of true community and fellowship on her own accord, having known no one! We talked for about three hours, she was leaving for Malawi Africa in less than two weeks!! Crazily, the Lord laid it on our hearts to write Alison- this stranger we had only just met, a letter or word of encouragement for every day that she would be away in Africa. These letters from practically complete strangers blessed her heart and were the beginnings of a supernatural bond of friendship. When Alison returned she and I met for coffee- only our 3rd ever face to face encounter; equally blessed we both walked away stunned by the stories of how God was working in one anothers’ lives. From this point on, she and I would most effortlessly grow to become the of best of friends and closest sisters in Christ!
Her trip to Malawi was the spark she needed to light a fire in her heart for sharing Christ with the nations!! This October Alison is going to embark on this same great adventure that I have! God has laid it on her heart to join the WORLD RACE!! I am exceedingly excited about this because at launch this January in New Zealand all I could think during our teaching sessions was, “God, I wish Alison could be here!! She needs to hear this!! She needs to be here!!” And wouldn’t you know it the next time I was able to get to the internet and talk to Alison I had an email in my inbox that said, “I AM GOING ON THE WORLD RACE! I GOT ACCEPTED!”
I am writing this blog because Alison needs our support! God has greatly blessed me, so much so that I want to ask: would there be any of you who are supporting me financially that would consider supporting Alison financially each month?! She has so much to offer this world. Her genuine love for relationship and people compels her to want to share the most important relationship in her life with those who have not heard; her relationship with Christ. So please help her as she spends the next 6 months preparing to step out in faith and meet the Lord on the World Race.
