It’s official: I am fully funded for the Race! I have been blown away by the Lord’s provision so many times over this year. I sit in awe of Him and His work daily.
I cannot thank each of you enough for your support. I am so grateful for how the Lord has called you to partner with me in this journey. He is using your generosity to impact people around the globe and to impact me for the rest of my life. I am walking differently with Him as a result of what He’s teaching me, and I wouldn’t be here without you. So thank you. A hundred times, thank you.
Paul says it best in Philippians 1:
“I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.
It is right for me to feel this way about all of you, since I have you in my heart and, whether I am in chains or defending and confirming the gospel, all of you share in God’s grace with me. God can testify how I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus.
And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God.”
For those of you who are signed up to give monthly, you are welcome to continue giving, but from here on out, your gifts will go to Adventures in Missions, the parent organization of World Race, not toward my Race, as I’m now fully funded. You will need to log in and discontinue your monthly gift should you choose to do so.
At the request of a few of you, I’ve created a separate site where you can give toward other expenses we have in the field IF you feel led to. I am already so floored by your generosity, that I have no expectations of anything above and beyond what has already been given. You can find that site here: www.youcaring.com/erikapaul.
Thank you again. May the Lord bless you abundantly!
Joyfully,
E
