I would like to share a little piece of my heart to you all and share you my story of why I am here today. Like most twenty three year olds, I find myself in that moment where you evaluate the direction of your life, where I’ve been, and what my hopes for the future are. For the last five years, my soul has craved for a deeper connection with my world. Not to just live for the instant but truly make a lasting mark. A diligent prayer I often pray is that I seek all things beautiful in God’s eyes and the future steps I take will change the paths I leave behind. I remember as a freshman researching the Peace Corps and tossing back and forth whether or not I could actually go out and live my dreams serving others. I came across the World Race and I read the first passage on the website and I knew it was exactly God’s Will for my life. My heart beats to see a changed world, I am one of many in a radical generation wanting to see a tangible expression of God’s love being share to the ends of the earth. With everything in my heart, I want to share God’s love to his hurting people. I yearn to lay hands on the sick and pray for their healing, to provide hope to his people that have never heard the Gospel or know the love of Jesus.
God has given me a far more than I could ever deserve. I’ve had my struggles and hard times with my walk but I’ve come to understand that nothing I can do will make God love me more or love me less. He is love and his love is perfect. Through him I am made whole. God is everything to me. I would love nothing more than to surrender myself and give up my life to his cause.
My time in the Race will be a time of ministry to all religions, backgrounds, and cultures. It will all be for that one person that has not heard the Truth of Christ, given a Bible, or even an expression of love and hope. I will be traveling to places where heartache and extreme poverty is everyday life. But I believe God is making a profound impact all around us. He is restoring lives and extending his amazing grace for his people and I desperately want to be a part of it.
I leave for my race July 2012 but before I can pursue the race for Christ I need to raise $15,500 dollars. That number sounds outstanding to me too, trust me! However I am going into this without a doubt that God can do all things.
So I would like ask for your support whether its a donation, your prayers or your encouragement. It means so much to me that you’ve taken the time to read my story and let me share a little bit about my Race and my missions. I would love to hear your comments and if you would like to make a donation there is a link on my page. (I’m pretty sure! still learning the website) but feel free to email me and all my contact information can be found on my website.
Thank you again so much and God bless.
