The World Race is heading into month eight and I have been more than blessed and privileged to be on this journey for God. He has changed me more than I could have ever imagined and I will be forever marked by His Grace and Love. The people that He touched and lives He turned the right side up will now be part of Gods amazing plan. And I am just humbled to be a part of it.
This journey has been more than ever expected. And there is still more to come. I am so excited to see what else God has in store in the next couple of months.
Right now we are in Durban, South Africa relying completely on the Lord. My team and I have been chosen to be “Unsung Heroes”. UH come alongside new ministries who serve the least of these in the city of Durban and provide new ministry hosts for future World Racers.
The other day after we prayed together as a unit, we went out into the streets of Durban and ask God which way to go. We chose to make a right turn, stopped at another intersection anxiously waiting for God to show up. A couple of seconds later an older lady, with a Jesus fish tattoo on her arm, pointed us to a near by church. Matt, a staff member of Olive Tree Church told us about the biggest outreach program in Durban called “We are Durban”. The next day we sat in the office of the head manager of “WAD” while she explained to us the seventy three outreach programs that mostly fight for social justice in the city. Just like that God showed up. I still wonder what would have happened if we would have turned left that morning…
As the Race is slowly coming to an end, I am praying for the future and the financial aspect that comes with being on the missions field for almost a year. I have information about my final flight home and finances on the Race are higher than expected.
Praise God, I have been fully funded since December and more than humbled how God worked in all of your hearts to provide the funds. However our budget is very tight and many days even food costs more than first assumed.
I can’t even put into words how forever grateful I will be for all of your love and support. I am now kindly asking you for additional financial support on this trip. Not only do I need the funds for my final flight back home from Miami, but it would also be a huge gift for me to be able to bless others unexpectedly without worrying about the financial aspect.
I know that God will provide and I am praying for His will in this matter. If God puts it on your heart to support me, all you need is to go online to Pay Pal and send money to [email protected]
Thank you again for your constant love, support, emails and messages. They mean the world to me and give me strength to continue to run the Race with endurance.
