To: The World Race
From: Bri
Um, I think you’re really cool. We have spent a lot of time (okay, all of our time) together for the past six months. You’ve taught me so much about myself and others and life and traveling and God and all that important stuff. You know, like that living in community is scary and tough sometimes, but it’s worth it because you gain so much self-awareness through others’ observations of you.
Or that God transcends all cultural barriers to welcome us all into His family, no matter what the color of our skin is or what language we speak.
Or that even though I’m a very independent person, I need to learn how to respect and support the men around me. Not in a submissive, wimpy way, but in a way that meets the need they have to be respected and because they are worthy of that respect.
Or that God is greater, stronger and higher than I ever dreamed.
You’ve been with me through some rough times, like when I couldn’t shower for weeks at a time in Moldova or, on a more serious note, when I battled through team changes in India. You were there when my camera’s life was taken by a wave on New Year’s Eve, but before that, you gave me the opportunity to use to minister to people in Romania and Moldova.
You’ve given me a lot of incredible opportunities and for that, I thank you.
Now we’ve reached the halfway point in our time together and I can’t imagine parting ways with you yet. We’ve grown so close. You’re my whole life now and we have so much more to do together.
But I’m about $1200 short of making my final deadline for support. God has helped me raise $13,500 since I first signed up to be with you. I know that $1200 is nothing to Him and I’m looking forward to another six months with you.
So, dear readers, listen for His prompting and donate if you hear His voice. I firmly believe I still have a lot to do and see and grow in on this Race and I need to be here until the end.
