So I have some news……Im fully funded!! When I found out that I was fully funded I was just blown away. I wasn’t blown away that God could do it, but more so in the ways He did it. These past two years I have learned and grown so much and one of the most beautiful things I’ve learned is about community. Not only have I learned how to livein community and what it’s like to have a Christian community, but I’ve learned about community of the Kingdom. What it’s like to have the church outside of 4 walls. I have had such an amazing support system, financial and throughprayer.
This blog is for the people who have financially partnered with me and for all the people who have and will partner with me in prayer,
Every single one of you are an answered prayer, not just for me, but for who knows how many others. You are an answered prayer for all the people who have cried out to a God they may or may not have believed in, for people who say they want something more to their lives, and who want that missing piece. You have helped answer some of those prayers, but we still have a lot of work to do. Romans 10:13-15 says,“Everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. How, then, can they call on the one they do not believe in?And how can they believe in the one they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can anyone preach unless they are sent?” As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring the good news!”
God asked me almost every day from July 2016 to September 2016, “Whom shall I send?”
I never answered because I didn’t want to say, “No” but I also didn’t want to say, “Yes”.
The last time He asked me, “Whom shall I send?”
I felt like He was asking from more of a heart break. I felt the same heart break in the Father that I felt when I heard how many people still didn’t know that God existed and would never know Him unless someone was sent directly to them.
He asked again, “Marissa, whom shall I send?”.
I yelled, “Send Me!” over the Mississippi River, and well, the rest is still happening.
We always hear, “You’ll never know the extent of our actions.” Oh but I believe I will one day, and you will be right beside me to see the extent of your actions. You have blessed my life in so many ways, but you have also blessed the lives of so many others. I like to picture myself in heaven introducing you to the people I’ve met on earth. And then we get to sit there and listen to them as they tell us about how their life changed for all of eternity. You have been a part of it all, don’t ever think that you haven’t.
Thank you so much for being a part of the Kingdom.
Thank you so much for being obedient.
Thank you so much.
Thank you is not enough to show you how grateful my heart is for you, how grateful I am that God was able to say who He is to people who may have never heard about Him without these trips. Just giving people the chance to know and to choose an eternity with Jesus brings tears to my eyes.
Thank you and God bless you.
