Hi guys, my friend Matt needs to raise more support so if you would like to support him, he would greatly appreciate it. Here is his blog.
Dear Supporters and friends
I sit here in awe of the time that has gone by rapidly this past year.
Nearly 11 months ago I was in my living room packing and repacking my
bag to make sure I had everything I needed. The anxiety and excitement
is still fresh in my mind. Those feelings of the unknown being one
flight away. I still remember that morning I said my last goodbyes and
gave my last hugs like it was yesterday. Well folks, that was 10 months
and 14 days ago.
I am currently neck deep in my process of debriefing this past
year’s adventures, challenges and victories. Our amazing coaches are
here alongside us to walk us through it all. I’m amazed at the journey
the Lord took my through. Deep down I knew I would be at this point,
but as I ran, crawled, and limped this year, I see the newness that is
Matt Peters. I have a new sense of what victory is all about. I’m
talking about victory in my old patterns of downward spirals, my pride,
and of course the bonds of self image that held me back for so long. I
have come through this World Race a new man! A new warrior!
challenge, a place of discovery, an opportunity to experience God in a
new way, and an environment for true community living. I stand now at
the finish line with my hands held high in triumph of the race that
was. I passed. I completed. And I’m standing at the end of it all in
better shape than when I came into it. I have more questions than ever
before, but also have much more peace than ever before. I know my
Saviour Jesus Christ. I know my Father. And I know the Power of the
Spirit. I have seen lives given to the Lord. I have seen people healed.
I have seen captives freed. I’m still praying for the dead to rise!
That’s the new hope and faith I have!
finances are currently sitting at $12, 800. As a trip cost, I am still
in need of $1000!
he’s asking me to reach out in humility to you for your help. So if you
are able and willing to give any amount, it’ll make a big difference in
the Kingdom of God. For if it wasn’t for you this whole year supporting
me, I wouldn’t be where I’m at. For you have sent me and I went. I
thank you! The kingdom of God is a different place. I have found out
who I am this year. Another confused life that has grasped his
inheritance from God. So thank-you!
