So after all that has happened so far with getting excepted to The World Race, pre-training camp, training camp, and now the 5 weeks or so to get prepared before I leave, I hope that now you could all help me out on this quest I have laid before me.
I’ve noticed especially that through most things, prayer is one of the most powerful tools that we can do for each other. I ask that you could pray for a couple things for me. One is guidance. I know that this is prayer that we sometimes all could use, but especially now that I feel that I need to listen to more of what God is doing in my life, calling me out, and leading me where to go. I don’t want to miss an opportunity where God is trying to speak to me.

Second would be for strength. It’s been an amazing time at training camp, but now that we’re back at home, I don’t want to struggle through the same routine I did before I left. I don’t want to make the same mistakes. I want to be a change in people, and I want to push through and work harder than I’ve ever been. I’ve noticed already it’s been a struggle for somethings since I’ve been at home.
Lastly, is the big f-word: funding. This trip costs $14,300 and I have so much to raise yet. I need to have (if I remember correctly) $5,500 before I leave, $10,000 three months into it, and to be completely funded six months in. I will have a few fundraisers yet this month, speaking with local churches, etc. and I hope that I can speak to these people (with the help of God) so that I can reach this goal. I pray though, that these people understand that this money isn’t going to just some fancy, exoctic trip, and it’s not some “zoo ride”. This money is for ministry for the people in those countries who need God and some hope.
So I ask, please pray for me for these next few weeks.
