It’s month 5 on the race, that’s a crazy thought, and there are things that I’m in need of and things that would help me in gigantic ways!
1. Financial support
I’m currently $3,800 away from reaching my final goal of $16,285. I have until the end of December to reach this deadline.
This one is different from what I have asked in the past, but I also need spending money. I came on the race thinking that things in all of the countries that I would be going to would be super cheap… Nope. They are just about the same as in the states and some times even more expensive. Money tends to run out fast on the race.
2. Prayer
As I am on a new team we are still adapting to the new faces as well as new countries. Please pray for us as we continue on in the journey that God has us on. Pray for the health and the safety of our squad as well as the opportunities to present the gospel to those who need to hear it the most, that’s all of us actually.
Prayer for mine and my squad mates families. As we continue on the race, thoughts of home come up more and more as we hear of the problems that are arising in our families. Health issues. Financial issues. Relational issues. It’s very difficult being on the race and knowing that there are problems back home that we can’t fix. Please pray for strength and endurance for us all.
Prayer for direction and provision when we get back from the race. We need to be focused on the hear and now on the race but when we get back life off the race will be so different from the time when we left it. On a personal level, I know of a few things that God has in store for me when I get back. He has revealed certain things to me and I can tell this about them, without God’s provision, they are impossible. But I know that God is in control of all things.
3. iTunes gift cards!!!!
It may sound weird and all but I’m telling you, they help! On the race there is such a thing as down time and it can get very boring very fast. Gift cards will allow me to get new music, watch movies, get new books… It’s limitless on what a simple iTunes gift card can achieve while on the race.
These things may seem small and insignificant, but please believe me when I say that they are the most powerful and beneficial things that you could do for me!
