its your time to shine
you were born
for such a time as this…
Jake Hamilton- The Anthem
I prayed and brought my doubts to God and opened my Bible to 2 Corinthians 9:7 –
in your heart how much to give. And don’t give reluctantly or in
response to pressure. “For God loves a person who gives cheerfully.� 8
And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have
everything you need and plenty left over to share with others. 9 As the Scriptures say,
“They share freely and give generously to the poor.
Their good deeds will be remembered forever.�
10
For God is the one who provides seed for the farmer and then bread to
eat. In the same way, he will provide and increase your resources and
then produce a great harvest of generosity in you.
11
Yes, you will be enriched in every way so that you can always be
generous. And when we take your gifts to those who need them, they will
thank God. 12 So two good things will result from this ministry of giving “the needs of the believers in Jerusalem will be met, and they will joyfully express their thanks to God.
13
As a result of your ministry, they will give glory to God. For your
generosity to them and to all believers will prove that you are
obedient to the Good News of Christ. 14 And they will pray for you with deep affection because of the overflowing grace God has given to you.
After praying with several members of my squad, many doors have opened. I would like to share with you what I will be doing for the 3 weeks following The World Race!
November 20th-Concludes the end of the world race. After hugs and tears, I will say “see you later” to my amazing squad. They will head to New York City, and then to their various homes around the country.
A few weeks ago, my teammate Jessica had a vision of me carrying a messenger bag. Inside the bag were envelopes with prophesies. I handed these out and prayed for people that God led me to. After bringing this to God, I believe this will be an important tool in my ministry after the race. I am calling this mbm (messenger bag ministry). I will be doing mbm daily, while working on the book I am writing.
Doors have opened in both
…still praying about which one.
I feel led to start a few businesses as well as a womans ministry after the race. My friend Jen from North Shore Community Church emailed me about L’Abri. L’Abri is a place where students can be mentored with Christian professors and discuss with others real questions pertaining to God and purpose.
As soon as I posted my first blog, I was contacted by Larry. Larry runs GLOW (Gods light on Worcester.) He invited me to do ministry with him and his family. He also offered to provide my housing and meals during my time there (HUGE BLESSING!) At Glow…I will be helping them church plant in Birmingham. They are currently building a church for 20-30 somethings in the club scene.
I will be returning back to New York City via Iceland Air. I was able to purchase my plane ticket home last week! Thank you so much for your prayers and financial support!
After December 8th…well, you’re going to have to stay in touch to find out!
hint…
“He wants to send out a group of radical laid down Lovers.
First send you across the nations of this world.
He then wants to send you into the dark, hidden places of the United States. God wants to send you with KEYS in your hands. He wants to send you KNOWING who you are. He wants to send you FILLED with His POWER and PURPOSE.
