It’s been quite the roller-coaster constantly fundraising while traveling so much these past 3 years. But God’s favor has sure been upon me. I have received so much love and support that it’s truly humbling to recount the grace and investment that has been sown into to me.
Even take these last couple weeks for example.
I ended this season with around $1,000 left to fundraise. I spent my last two weeks on the field intentionally disconnected and off of my phone. I had no idea what was happening with my fundraising. As I arrived back in the States, I started to catch up on my e-mails. I was amazed to see that in those last two weeks, I became completely funded!
I’m now officially done fundraising for the World Race!
Woo hoo!!
This is such a beautiful time to celebrate, give thanks, and give honor where honor is due.
Philippians 2:17 says this:
17 Even if I am to be poured out as a drink offering upon the sacrificial offering of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all.
I think Paul is writing about the Joy that can be shared between the giver and the receiver. I specifically love the picture of a drink offering. A vessel that has been filled with first fruits, just to be poured out as a sacrifice. I feel like this vessel. So many of you have poured your first fruits into my life. It was just my honor to bring myself to the feet of the King, and not leave a drop left.
As I look back at these three years it just hits me, “What an offering!!!”. I’m not boasting in what I’ve done, but that this is the greatest sacrifice I’ve laid at the feet of Jesus so far.
But like all things that are worth it, I couldn’t have even come close to this offering without help.
It was such an honor to partner with you all for this season. Thank you for your sacrifices, your times spent in prayer, your encouragements, your patience with my poor record of responding to messages, and your endurance over these past 3 years!
I know it hasn’t been easy, but what a privilege it was to be side by side with you, and to lay down ourselves before the King! All of it is for His Glory!
Each one of you is right here with me, taking Joy in the sacrifice that was laid before the King!
I wanted to send out this update to thank you all and also remind you to cancel your monthly donations to my World Race account. Any further donations here go directly to World Race and not to any of my future endeavors. Including Indonesia.
With that being said, I am currently seeking a sending non-profit who I can point my current long-term donors to so if they desire, they can continue to give. More news on that soon!
Now in my updates, I will be mostly transitioning to casting vision for my long-term plans.
As I’m trying to get my feet underneath my legs here in the States, I’ll be slowly sending out those updates. Don’t worry! I’ll let you all know if I launch another blog site!
Thank you all again. I can’t wait to see you all in person and share all that God has done.
