You might ask why should I support this guy, I don’t know him or anything about him. Ok, so here is why I joined the race and why I need your support.
Last year I was praying and seeking God. My prayer was (God I want to know You more. Let Your kingdom come in me and through me. More of You and less of me. ext…). So God’s answer was go on the World Race! For the past few years I have felt like I was to be going on a mission trip.

So last Sept. I applied for the Jan 2011 race. I was acepted 1 week before training camp. At the time I had less than $20 to my name. I had to have $1,000 in my acount plus money to get there. And God provided!!
For most of my life I did’t fit in, I was left out. I have had very few friends.In school I was made fun of alot. I could be in a room with 20 people or a 1,000 people and feel totally alone. Probably one of the biggest reasons was most of the kids (even at the christain school) and people I was around were more a part of the world and not hungry for God, while I wanted God more than anything. Before I was accepted to the Race i was at a place in my life where I felt so disconnected and what was my purpose. It was like I was just existing.
So in Oct. I went to training camp! Like never before I connected. Finally some people who were like minded. Within days I had found a new family! I found a place I belonged, somewhere I had dreamed about for years! Finally a purpose!
Then due to a lack of funds I was not able to go. My felt like my heart was ripped out, like I had failed yet again. For months I hurt and could not even think about it. Finally I was able to pray about it and the Lord said go in Sept. So I was trasfered to the Sept. Z squad! I went to training camp again not knowing if I could connect like that again. I felt it was taking a major risk to be hurt again if I opened myself again, but even though it wasn’t easy I obeyed God.
Once again I found family, I belonged, I had purpose! I feel like I got my heart back! Through this trip many things the Lord has spoken to me/over me through His Word and many godly people will be fulfilled!
But I can’t do it alone. I need you!! I am asking that you pray and see if God would lead you to give. It’s not just for me but for His kingdom! May God give you a hundred fold return on the seeds you sow! (You may give by clicking on the support me on the left side.
Here is a video that Peter(one of my squad mates) made to tell why they need me. Thank you for your gifts and prayers! And thank you Z squad for accepting and loving me! You have made a differance in my life!
