Because of you I get to live out of a backpack for 4 more months.

Because of you I will continue to eat questionable food.
Because of you I get to see a little bit more of the world.
Because of you I get to love the forgotten and hurting all over the world.
Because of you I am able to finish out what God has called me to.
That’s right.
I met the financial goal!
Because of you.
As long as my monthly donors continue to give, I will be finishing the race.
It has been amazing to see how God has provided for me financially, through you.  I have received donations from 15 states, 2 different countries and from 9 anonymous sources.  Some people I’ve never even met before, and probably never will, and that in and of itself is a humbling experience.  There were times that I got really nervous and thought I could possibly be going home but God always come through, even if it’s at the last minute.
All I can say is thank you.  There’s no way I could ever repay you but I’m pretty sure God’s reward is much better than anything I could do.  Just remember the lives I touch, the miracles I see, the way God moves wherever we go, it’s because of you.  Missions is so much more than “going.”  It’s about supporting those that feel called to go through finances and through prayer.  That’s what you’ve done for me this year.  And whether or not you can actually hear the thank you’s from those I’ve come in contact with, their smiles say it all…and I’m pretty sure it’s saying thank you.
