The World Race has been an experience that I will never forget. It has been the hardest journey of my life thus far. I never imagined I would be challenged in the ways that I have been both in ministry and personally. What I have discovered is that God can reveal a lot more to you when distractions are limited. Here on the Race things like TV, radio, cell phones, creature comforts, restaurants, nightly activities, etc, have all been very limited. Because of that self reflection and hearing God’s voice have all become more prominent in my life. It has not always been easy and it is not always fun being on the World Race but what I have learned so far is worth it and I know that God is not done with me yet. He has called me to 11 months and I plan on staying that extent of time. God is doing too many great things around the world and I would hate to have gotten this far and have to miss out on the rest. I have been given the chance to pray over the sick, love on orphans, teach, preach, see people surrender to God, be answered prayer to individuals, and so much more. My months on the Race have each been so different that it has felt like each month was a year. I even struggle sometimes to remember where I was last month! I cannot imagine what the rest of this journey is going to look like but I am excited and hopeful.
With that stated, I wanted to thank each you that have been following my blog, posting comments on my blogs, praying for me, emailing me, and supporting me in so many other ways. You are the reason I am not only able to be on this journey right now but also the reason I am fighting till the end. I am still roughly $2,000 away from my financial goal. Praise God! If you would have asked me before the Race if I would ever be able to see my goal reached I would have probably laughed a little but God remains faithful and I know that He will provide me with the rest. I was required to have all of my funds by July 1st. I have obviously run out of time and have not met my goal yet. I fully know that if God wants me to finish the Race than He will meet my need. I am not sure how He is going to do that but I remain positive and simply ask that you pray for me during this time.
