Dear Supporters and Friends,
I’ve been sitting in front of this computer in Kachibora, Kenya since 10:00 am this morning trying to organize my thoughts and figure out how to write this blog in a way that would help you understand all the wonderful and amazing things that God has done in the last four months. It is now 6:00 in the afternoon and I still have no clue how to put into words the things that I�fve experienced. Where do I begin? I should probably start with an apology for not keeping you updated about what�fs been going on during the last four months of my journey on the World Race. I can assure you that God has been doing miraculous and beautiful things through our squad and through me. He has revealed new sides of himself in each country and has showed off his power and love. I will go into greater detail about these things in other blogs which will be posted this week, but right now I must address an urgent matter.
I’m currently in the middle of nowhere in Africa and you would think that my greatest danger would be getting infected with malaria, typhoid, or some other God awful disease, but instead I find myself facing something far worse than these. My greatest danger at the moment is the risk of being sent home early from the race due to lack of support in my account. During the last four months God has done great things in me and through me and I know that there is still so much more to be done. I fully believe that God still has big plans for me on the race and that I am meant to continue, but there is simply no way I will be able to without your help. I must raise $4500 by my next deadline on September 30th which is only 5 days away. I recognize that this seems like an impossible task, but through God all things are possible. Whether you are in America right now, or perhaps in one of the countries we�fve visited, whether you are my closest friend or a perfect stranger, I can�ft do this without you. I need your prayers and financial help. Throughout everything I�fve had complete faith in God and this situation is no different. I recognize that there is nothing that I can do but to put it in God�fs hands and plea for your help.
Thank you so much and lets watch God raise $4500 in a week! : )
With all my love and gratitude,
Anmari Rivera
