When it comes to finances, fear has ALWAYS gone alone side with it. It is one of my faith areas where I was like you know what God, I know you can move mountains but finance mountain, I don’t think so, but I got it. So, time after time a test would come and God would ask me to let Him take care of it, rent was due and I worked part time and I was short a couple hundred and I would wait and pray but than my worry over took me and I would take matters into my own hands and not allow God to shine. Maybe one out of fifty did allow God to show up and not allow my worry to take over but worry was still there. I remember moments of being in tears because I choose to trust God and I would fall close to an anxiety attack but what happened, God showed up and did what He promised, that only happened the one out of fifty times.
Than the World Race came about and raising money came about, now I am all for fundraising, working in the missions’ department of my church in Florida, I would be the first one to encourage any and everyone when it came to fundraising, and I would see financial miracle after financial miracle but for myself and this large amount to raise…nah bro.
The journey began, and God showed up with my deposit, He showed up with monthly donors, He showed up with pray warriors and for a moment in time I would be excited and then just as the excitement came it went. Back came to anxiety and worry so followed the control of me doing it on my own. After a few attempts and failures God asked me to have a sit and listen, so I did, and He told me where He calls me, He will provide of all that I need. He said that He is calling me on the World Race and He will provide of every resource that I have need of.
I would like to say the worry left after that day, but it did not, what did happen was peace and confidence knowing that God will provide, and it will be in His timing not mine. He is so faithful He continued to prove Himself from a scholarship that I had no idea existed, to monthly donors I have never meet to anonymous donations that took my breath away. He even showed up with church support from a church and its members I have never met. God not only took fear away and gave me a peace, but He also showed me His love. He showed me that He is God and He will take care of me in ways that I could never begin to even think or imagine. God proved Himself faithful and I am here to say that I AM FULLY, yes FULLY FUNDED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not only fully funded but full of financial faith, God proved Himself when the doubters where whispering in my ears saying just come home or that is too much money, who is going to give you all of that. God said go and I will light your way and He did more than that.
So, THANK YOU!! Thank you to everyone that was obedient when the Lord asked you to give, thank you to everyone who shifted their finances around to partner with me while I am on the field, Thank you for believing in the calling God has placed on my life and for trusting Him with your finances.
Thank you for being a part of my testimony but also testimonies of hundreds of people around the world. Because you gave, women know who their creator is and know that they are princesses. Because you gave, we were able to give back faith to the faithless and hope to the hopeless. Because you gave, I was able to show the love of Jesus to homeless, bring Jesus to Muslims, Buddhist, Hindus and the forgotten. Because you gave churches are now renewed in their ability to dream big dreams, because you gave missionaries were encouraged to continue to be the hands and feet of Jesus. Because you gave, I was able to not only teach English but to bring love to schools in multiple countries. Because you gave you are a big part of people being free and coming to the Lord. Because you gave, I learned how to trust God more than ever before.
I want to encourage everyone to pray and ask God who can you partner with financially and pray fully. There are many missionaries out in the field and right in your neighborhood who need sponsorship’s, prays and encouragement. So, I encourage you to pray and ask God who can you partner with this year.
