To my fellow comrades, warriors, beautiful sisters and brothers in Christ,

I am writing you with a full and heavy heart. I am here crying out to you from the front lines of the battlefield. God has brought me so far since I left the United states. He has broken my heart many times for His precious children around the world. He has taught me so much these past few months.

Through my Croatian mother, Bozena, God has taught me what a real-life Proverbs 31 woman looks like. Through tears, laughter, and hugs, Bozena has been sewn deeply into my heart.
  

I have learned what being a servant means from my friend Sydney in Northern Ireland. She has taught me that scrubbing toilets is just as important as preaching from the pulpit when it comes to Kingdom building.

Through my Romanian father Abi, God has shown me what it means to be a real man of God. I will not settle for anything less in my future husband. Abi is strong, and a powerful leader in his city. He is looked up to by almost all who meet him. In spite of all this, his humility shows through the tears he sheds for his ministry.

God is shaping me into a member of the Lord’s army. I am a warrior for Christ. Through these events and people I have described to you, I am becoming the real woman that God has planned for me since the beginning of time.

I am fully convinced that God has begun a good work in me. And as He says in His word, He will carry that out until the day of completion. The World Race has been God’s way of carrying out His good works in and through me. So far, it has been the adventure of my life. In two months, God has brought me to eight different countries. I really thought that I would be coming on this mission trip to change the lives of other people. Through the powerful blessings of Christ in His goodness, I have bettered the lives of others, maybe even hundreds. More then I ever could have expected, however, God has changed me into a person that I don’t even recognize, and He’s still not done. It is supposed to be 11 months, 11 countries, but really, it is so much more than that. This race has been God calling me to a new way of life, a life that is submersed in Him, a life where I am set apart and battling for Him and His people almost every moment.

I am writing this letter on the coast of the Adriatic Sea in Croatia. I know that God has called me into something bigger than myself. He has called me away from everything that I once knew, away from the comforts of what earth can provide me, into the comforts of Him. He is making me into a fire that is going to light the world, one person at a time. However, I need your help in order to do that. You will be the spark that ignites the fire.

I am here on the battlefield with a war cry; I am asking you to join me in battle. I need $7,500 for the completion of this race. By November 1st I will need to have raised $5,200 in order to meet the qualifications of the mission. To one person, this is a large amount, but by breaking it down we can all be a part of the great things God is doing:

  • 10 people give $500

  • 5 people give $300

  • 10 people give $100

Anything you can give at all counts towards the purpose: THE KINGDOM.

Thank you so much to those of you who have been supporting me all along and who have already given me so much of your hard-earned money. I am so appreciative. It means more than any words can describe. Thank you!

In Matthew 28:19, Jesus commissions His followers to a powerful calling: “Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.” Through this verse, Jesus is calling us to gather up troops to fight in His battle. He is commanding us as His followers to make disciples from all nations. Not everyone can up and leave their homes to go to all nations and preach the gospel. God has put a calling on my life, however, for this verse and for the nations. I am a Kingdom builder by going out and talking to the people of Africa, the people of Ireland, and the people of Romania. At the present time, you are Kingdom builders as well. God has called us all to work for Him. And while some of us are out on the mission field, others must stay home with jobs and families. You are just as much of a Kingdom builder and warrior for Christ as I am. Through you putting your support through me, you are giving love to those who thought they were unlovable. You are providing a smile of kindness to those who have been shown none. Through me, you will be making disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Come. Won’t you join me in this battle?
