Hello all!
(I hope you appreicated my JoBro reference and THAT’S what made you click on this blog.)
We are currently in India and it’s incredible. I can update you all soon with some stories and pictures, but I just wanted to write a quick blog about something really, really important to me…
MY SQUAD!!!
I thank God just about every day for all of these wonderful people I have come to call family. I know for a FACT that God has placed them on this squad, on the field, and in the lives of the people we encounter across the world for a very specific reason. It has been so incredible to see each and every one of them choose to become the person God has created them to be.
With all of that being said, some of these fabulous people still need funding! I was lucky enough to have been able to be fully funded before I left for the race, but these incredible people have been doing the race AND support raising! Talk about super humans…
BUT! I ask, since you have read my blog this far, that you take some time to seriously pray over this list of people and see if God is leading you to support them financially. I am not biased (maybe a little) when I say these are truly wonderful, God-loving people and we wanna stay together for as long as possible! (If you can’t tell, I’m already dreading final debrief – haha)
Here is the list of people and their blogs. Just click on the link and go to the top of their blog and click on the orange “Donate!” button. And while you’re at it, read some of their blogs to see how much they really are doing for the Kingdom.
