Raising!!! Guess what, it is April, guess what important day is in
April…? The 25th! Guess what important event took place on
that day in the year 1987…? That would be the day I was born, one
of the greatest days in history. So as it stands I need about $3500
to be fully funded and what better birthday gift to give then a few
bucks to support me! I would like to be fully funded by the 25th
(pledges included) so if you would like to support me and help me
continue the journey that God has me on, please pray and see what
you supporting me looks like, whether it is $10 or $1000 the amount
doesn’t matter. AIM would like me to be fully funded funded before we
leave Central America for Asia and Africa, so I would love for you to
partner with me in this.
Since
being on the race I have been taken on a journey where God is showing
me how much I just have to let go and trust Him. As it stands right
now, He is all I have to fall back on. Everything that I banked on as
security in my life has failed me or fallen away and I am coming to
the realization that committing my life to the cause of the Kingdom
is going to cost me a lot more than I had initially thought. The
scary part is, it has never seemed more worth it. But what is it
worth to you? Pray about it and I promise that God will tell you!
For all
of you have have supported me either financially or with prayer,
thank you! I am doing all I can to make sure you haven’t done so in
vain. All I ask is that you continue to lift me up in prayer because
I need that now more then ever. I had come to a cross road where I
had to make a choice, a decision on how much of “Joel” do I want
to let die. After a lot of prayer and thought, I said all of me. The
truth is, when I come home, I don’t want the “Joel” that you
probably knew coming back. I don’t want you to see “Joel” at all,
I want you to see the new creation that salvation is supposed to
bring. I want you to see a man after God’s own heart. Most of all I
want you to see the Joel that God knew before He made me.
