There is a great comminity within AIM. People who are willing to stretch you in your growth, faith and trust with the Lord. People we are willing to make dangerous prayers on your behalf, when you won’t make them for yourself. People we are always willing to speak life and truth into you, and not afraid to bring a harsh word when needed. These things are vital to community life and living truly exposed before each other as believers and before God.
Jimmy McCarty prayed a dangerous prayer over me. I was visiting the offices in Gainesville and I was pulled aside by Jimmy and asked to join as staff with AIM. After praying about it, I listened to the Lord and agreed to come on staff. Then Jimmy prayed with me. Halfway through the prayer he told me, “Lindsay, I am going to pray a really dangerous prayer of you.” I responded, “Yes. Let’s do this.”
Those are extremely foolish words to utter. However, when we are a fool in love, we do some crazy things, and we respond yes to things before we really know what we are getting in to. Then Jimmy prayed that I would have to trust God even more with my support raising and that I would be stretched to new depths of trust. WHAT?! At the time I was all for it. Now two months later- I am thinking, “Lindsay, you are an idiot.” Satan, is great at emphasizing our insecurities and finances have always been an insecurity with me. However, I am not buying into the lies. I know that God has called me to do this.
In the past two months I have raised $110 of support. My monthly goal to be supported per month is $1500. Needless to say, I am a little behind. TRUST. Last Tuesday I set up a goal to raise $2500 in support. As of today, since that blog, I have raised $0. TRUST.
TRUST.
It is a really hard thing to do. However, I walk forward in the assurance that I am doing what the Lord has asked me to do. I continue to pray and trust that support will come in. That I can continue to be an answer to peoples prayers through AIM and in my everyday life here in the states.
I need you, I need somebody, to believe in the ministry in which I am a part of and sow into it with me. Is that you? Whether it is a one-time donation or a monthly support, I know that the Lord will use you to be an answer to my prayers. Please click here to donate. Please pray for me as I delve into trusting the Lord more completely.
