So its been an amazing year, but as it comes to a close, I’ve been looking to see where God would have me next, as I move forward with this life he’s given me. Back to work, begin work on some business ideas, back to school, or even small side community projects he’s birth in me to help meet needs that I’ve come across through this year.
One of few things that has stuck out to me is the need in Haiti. It is a widely covered situation, and does not really require much, if any introduction. This country has been on my heart to some degree, even before the most recent devastating quake hit…now, even more of a need.
I’ve currently been given the opportunity to be a part of an Alumni race relief team that will be going down to Haiti for a month, for the month of June, 2010. This is a direction I believe I have the OK to run with right now from God, while continuing to be obedient and listening for His voice as I move. Some of you might be unaware, but as of right now, I will be completing my year on the race at the end of this month, with Thailand (current location as of this evening) being our last country.
I return for about a month in the States before leaving for Haiti in June.
The trip will consist of difficult environments and living conditions, placing us where we can most effectively minister to those in desperate need of it right now, including just meeting the immediate physical type needs.
The WorldRace staff and AIM organization is already working with organizations down on the ground, with other previous teams that have been out there paving the way with other type objectives and mission focus.
You all have been very supportive and encouraging through this year, and have helped me raise most of the funds needed to go through this year, and for that I am truly truly grateful for your contributions and obedience to what God would have you do.
I am currently just about fully funded for the world race trip, with only about $700 left to fully cover my expenses and have me fully funded for the year. And so I thank you all for standing boldly with me, and being a part of what God has done this past year around the world, but also in my life for sure.
With all that said, I am also still in need of another $2000 to cover the cost of my trip to Haiti for the month. And so it is with with great humility and appreciation, I would ask you to seek the Lord on how you can further support me to be able to leave with the team June 1st to Haiti.
As always, your prayers are most important, and very much welcome. And any type of financial support of any kind is always appreciated. If you have any questions or thoughts, please feel free to send them to me or post a comment, and I will do my best to reply as soon as is possible.
I am very excited about experiencing more of Christ’s heart in Haiti, being a part of the church at work out there as it should be, and being transformed even more to a much better likeness or Christ as He walks me through Haiti and all the experiences he chooses to use me in.
So thank You, and do check back for more updates of pics from the Philippines and what we’l be doing here in Thailand as we wrap up our year, cheers!
