Dear Supporters and friends,
Here I am sitting on a white sand beach off the coast of Thailand. 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!
The World Race has been everything I ever imagined it to be! A 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!
So friends, I want to ask for help with one last thing. My finances are currently sitting at $12, 800. As a trip cost, I am still in need of $1000! That’s it, just $1000.
I know the Lord has this last part of my trip in His hand. But 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!
