This is a recent email I wrote to my family
From Arkansas to Central America, Southeast Asia, Africa, Eastern Europe and now Spain! I will graduate from Generation 42 Leadership Academy in two weeks! ( www.g42leadershipacademy.org) I have now been here since June and know my purpose.
I have been away from America for a year and a half. First the World Race www.theworldrace.org for 11 months and now G42 Leadership Academy. I have seen over 20 different cultures and am in awe of GOD. A simple discovery yet…. My heart has expanded and I find myself believing in the simple truths that I have always known and have discovered. Once I started to truly believe who God says He is and who He says that I am, a new authority came, dreams and visions were revealed deeper and the mystery of God opened up a new understanding of His PURPOSE with us.
I recently had a woman prophecy into my life. She was right on. I went forward after a service last Sunday. The message that day was about expanding vision. I know God has been expanding my way of thinking for a long time now. Ever since the Race started in July 2008, I started to see the overwhelming about of LOVE God has for people. I obviously saw needs everywhere and questioned what I was to do. He expanded my capacity to love, to envision HOPE, and to freely be who He created me to be. It is freedom at its finest. I found His Spirit. I found it within me. This changes everything. When the woman started to prophecy, she saw a vision of a boat leaving a harbor. Going to the open sea. God was my rudder. I didn’t have my hands on the wheel because I knew I could trust God to guide the boat.
She said many times we wait in the harbor until God has given us the full picture. I knew that I must move. That God had given me key pieces and it was time that I leave the harbor. I have been moving for a while but still hoping for the full picture or understanding of where I am heading fully. I have some clarity, but God is calling me to the open sea before it is all revealed. He can do so much more out there. So I am leaving the Harbor and PLUNGING into my purpose. I am leading the World Race January squad! I leave January 1st to meet my team of 60 where we start in Auckland, New Zealand . We are partnering with God and His people all over the world to bring His Kingdom where it doesn’t exist.
This is not just another program but my commitment to the long term call God has placed in my heart. I want to see people come ALIVE. To live the life they are designed for. To speak truth over the lies and raise up leaders to lead generations into their purpose, their inheritance. To see a CHURCH OF PEOPLE ALIVE! I will be leading 60 other individuals with one of my good friends Robby Riggs http://robbyriggs.theworldrace.org . My commitment is for 11 months which includes me walking with them four to five months and then going back out to two debriefs. My squad will start in January and end in November. I am going to be raising up leaders within the squad to take over the squad in the fourth month. I am also excited to see God possibly have me back in Spain for sometime to serve in the coming future.
I have not been walking alone in this process. You have been a support to me. Whether through prayers, encouragement, financially—I CAN’T THANK YOU ENOUGH. When that lady prophecied over me, the lady next to me said that she saw a cruise ship. That I was not alone. There were so many people. I know that I am not in this alone. The sea also symbolizes people. It is people that His Kingdom is made of. Will you pray about partnering with me? I need prayer. I know much has been given to me, and that means much is required. I NEED PRAYER. INTERCESSION. There are 60 others that need me to be full of the Spirit everyday. Ready to go! I also NEED HELP FINANCIALLY. I am raising $10,000. I need half of that by the 1st of the year. Please pray about becoming a one time or monthly donor. You can support me at http://tarastephenson.theworldrace.org and click on “Support me for Spain and WR”. All donations are tax-deductible.
I trust God. I trust that He has equipped me and called me. I don’t have all the resources but I AM believing for them. I am hitting the open sea and I know God is directing me. I have got wind in my sails and ready to dive into the promise. Thank you for your support and trust that God is speaking to you about your purpose and stirring in you crazy passions and dreams for His Kingdom. I prophecy your dreams to come to pass in fullness! Email me with any questions.
Pace y amor
