I have a TON of exciting updates to put into this blog.

I’m just over a month away from my departure to Atlanta and then the start of the race.

We were given this hint as to what our first ministry location would be:


Any ideas?
All I know is that it’s somewhere in Southeast Asia which makes me REALLY happy.


We also found out our small teams yesterday on my small team is (I’ve included links to all their blogs so you can get to know them too!):
Colleen
Danny
Jackie
Kyle
Lindsey
Sarah
Traci

I’m ooober excited. I met the last 4 at training back in April, but haven’t met the first 3 as they were added to the September team after April!

Finally a fiscal update:

I’m doing pretty well in terms of finances (I don’t think I’m in danger of not being able to go anymore, but I still have a long way to go!)

Here’s what my account looks like as of today:

Total Support
Raised to Date:
$5,485.00
Total Expenses to Date: $18,000.00
Balance: ($12,515.00)

 I need to have $6500 in my account to go and the rest in pledges.

Total Support
Pledged to Date:
$11,875.00
Total Expenses to Date: $18,000.00
Balance: ($6,125.00)


So thank you so much for your generous contributions. There is no way I could’ve ever gotten this far without your prayer and support. I want to encourage you to continue to give if you have pledged to do so. 

I’m also in need of about 3 or 4 more people who will commit to praying for me regularly. Let me know if you’d like to be on that list (it basically just means that Adventures in Missions knows you’re a WR prayer partner and they may send you something every once in a while).

I hope you’re getting excited with me. I’m so blessed to be sharing in the Lord’s ministry around the world with you this next year.
