starting their journey around the world. God has been stirring in my
spirit for about two months now, and He finally made it clear that the October 2009 squad
is the one I’m supposed to be with. This is totally and completely
outside my comfort zone, and I am absolutely not able to do this on my
own–and that helps me rest in the fact that this is right!
an environment where my squad will be able to grow spiritually and
emotionally, while also looking after their safety, heath, and
encouraging them in the whole process. Sean Smith
(my co-leader) and I will stay out with the squad for 4-5 months with
the purpose of raising up new leaders from within the squad to take
over at that point. It is going to be an awesome opportunity to pour
into this group of people as they go through abandonment and brokenness
and see them walk further into their giftings, callings, and character
for His glory!
Training Camp. It has been absolutely incredible. God has been growing
my heart for each one of them, and I have seen some incredible freedom
and breakthrough in a lot of their lives. God has shown up, the Holy
Spirit has been thickly present, and this group of Racers have been
diving in deep to what God is doing in and through them. (Read an awesome Training Camp story about a Strip Club).
I would absolutely love your prayers right now and in the upcoming
months as I prepare to go out on the field again. This is a role as
leader that I have never quite held before, and it is one that I do not
feel fully adequate for– needless to say, I will be relying a lot on
His equipping daily.
Please pray for:
community, ministry, more empowerment in the Spirit, and their
understanding of their identities in Christ.
Training Camp– that everything they learned, saw, and gained freedom
in would be protected and sealed in Jesus’ name.
-The countries I will be going to with them: Guatemala, Nicaragua, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam.
-My time with God, that it would be protected, and that I would be able
to stay connected intimately with Him on a daily basis as I prepare and
leave.
-God’s glory to be made known and His love to be revealed in a deeper
way to my squad and those we will minister to in the nations.
-My mom and dad as I leave again!
And as much as I hate it, going back out on the field means I need
to raise a bit more support. I realize this is a really tough time for
so many, and so I don’t mean to press this matter. All I want to do is
make you aware of the amount I need (about $6,000) and ask you to
simply pray.
