Genesis 15:6
Abram believed the Lord, and he credited it to him as righteousness
I do believe that the Father has called me to theWorldRace. I do believe that this is my time. I do believe that He has crafted and molded me with certain traits and desires to do such a trip like this. I do believe that He knew that my soul needed to feel the air of new places and new adventures. I do believe that He gives me His blessing to do this trip.
I remember while in the midst of Grad School, while interning, trying to finish up school I asked the question, “What do I do now?” Almost immediately I got the impression, “Do whatever you want to do.” This response aggravated me because I perceived it as God not having a direction or purpose for me. So day after day I asked the same question again and again, hoping for a different response. Yet each time the answer was unchanging. “Do whatever you want to do”. I was perplexed; I did not understand why God would answer in this way. Then without asking God interrupted my train of thoughts, “Do whatever you want to do, and I will go with you”. I was flabbergasted; God was treating me like an adult. He was encouraging me to make my own choices, letting me follow my own passions and desires.
A couple years later, the pressure of life unearthed my deepest passions and desires. So here I am, approved by God and my peers at Adventures in Missions, to go on this expedition around the globe, to help in ways that only I can, to see and experience global Christianity.
However, as much as I would like, I cannot provide the necessary funds to go on such an adventure by myself. I have picked up my old life right where I left it, working two jobs, trying to be creative and social on the side. Trying to make this dream a reality. But the reality of the situation is that with all the work I put in, it is still not enough. I need help.
I implore all who read this blog to first and foremost please pray for me.
My first fundraising goal of $5,000 by June is not even close to being met. Currently, I do not even have $500 raised for this trip. As May approaches my anxiety starts to stir; yet I am choosing to trust in the LORD. Choosing to believe that He really does provide. That He exchanges our poverty for His riches.
The ironic part about this whole thing is that I have asked numerous times over the last couple months, that God strengthen my faith. So here I am with an opportunity to strengthen my faith, and believe for the impossible to become possible.
I need help. I am reaching out to you. Please help me reach my $5,000 training camp goal. This is an opportunity I do not want to miss. I have faith that God will work it out.
