Do what you might ask??? Don’t let them buy my plane ticket
home.
This is one of those blogs that no one likes to write. You
know the one where I ask for support in order to continue on the race. So please
bear with me.
Thanks to everyone back home I have made it halfway through the
race! Yay me!!!!
Anyways,
I will be short and sweet. This month was my final support
deadline of $4,014 left to raise. Due to God wanting to show me how awesome He
is I missed the deadline. I think He wants me to see Him show up in big ways. I
am overjoyed to say we have raised $10,000 thus far. I have been able to
minister and be ministered too by over 6 countries because our efforts up to
this point. I am standing in front of my final wall and on the other side is
freedom from raising anymore support! This is it, we have accomplished so much
together.
Here is a fact: If I don’t raise $4,000 within the next week
or so, I will be sent home for lack of funds. This is a LEGIT deadline!!! All I
know is that we have an amazing Father who told me to sign up for THE WORLD
RACE and in return he would take care of the rest. Truth be told I am not
worried about a small chunk of change like $4,000. I know God called me to go
on this journey and I know he will see me through to the end. Although I am not
worried I am still called to raise awareness to those of you back home. So this
is me asking for support for the last time.
I know God will put it on the hearts of those who are
privileged to give and for that I am forever grateful. I cannot express my
gratitude towards those who have invested into my race. What I can say is THANK
YOU because of you I am not the same man I was when I left home. God has
forever changed me and he is shaping/molding me into the strong man of God He
has called me to be. At the same time I still have much to learn/grow in. One
thing God has taught me is that it’s ok to be imperfect. I think He likes it
that way. He has always used imperfect people to advance his kingdom. He finds
honor in those who fight against their imperfections, and he gives grace when
we fall short. Thank God for grace!
Anyways I am rambling on, once again thank you for your
support.
Philip
