The Lord is faithful and he's provided all of my financial needs for the Race. I’m officially fully funded! I'm posting now on behalf of some of my awesome squadmates who are still in need of more support. Even though you haven't met them, I have, and I can assure you that they love the Lord and are willing to serve him around the world. This X-Squad family is already dear to me and I can't wait to see how we grow together during these next 11 months. By supporting them, you are supporting me…we're all part of the Body of Christ! I'm a part of Team RISE UP and would be honored if you'd join me in praying and giving so that my teammates can answer the call of Christ to go to the nations.
Since I can no longer accept funding, I am asking that you support them on my behalf. I am asked almost daily how people can still support my trip; please do so by supporting my squad. Each member of the X-Squad has to raise $15,500 and each MUST have $6,500 received before we launch. We leave on 7/11/11 – in just a matter of days! Anyone needing $9,000 or more is in risk of not being able to leave with us.
Below is what is needed, along with links to their blogs for you to get to know everyone. (Those who are pictured and not mentioned are also fully funded!)
**Thanks to my teammate Val Youmans for getting this blog info together!**

Squad Leaders –
These two dedicated and amazing Christ followers have gone on the World Race before and will only be with us for the first four months of the Race. Therefore, they don’t have to raise nearly as much as us, but Lauren must have her remaining money THIS week or she cannot be our Squad Leader. I know the Lord will provide for her, because she is definitely meant to be with us. Are you the answer to her prayer?
Lauren Williamson (Victoria, TX) – Needs $800
