Friends, it brings me great joy to finally announce that I am FULLY FUNDED for my World Race. From the moment that my first donation was made on April 3, 2020 to the final donation on March 14, 2021, I’ve never been allowed to doubt that the Lord would provide. He was stirring your hearts to partner with me around every corner and I’m so thankful for His faithfulness and your obedience. It means so much to me. We raised almost $19,000 in less than one year. What a move to be a part of. Thank you.
I know in my heart of hearts that you have been tossing and turning for many restless nights wondering just how you might be able to love and cherish your friendly neighborhood missionaries, especially World Race missionaries, once they aren’t asking for your money any longer. Have no fear, the antidote is here!!!!
How can you support missionaries, specifically World Race Missionaries, once they are fully funded?
1. Pray
At this point, the greatest way that you can partner with me is through prayer. Only God knows what the next seven-ish months have in store, so we’ve no choice but to depend on him. I’m asking for more than a passing prayer every now and then. I’m inviting you to battle alongside our squad as we face spiritual forces in some of the most unreached places in the world. (spoiler alert: WE’RE OFF TO TURKEY AFTER WE LEAVE THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC) Your prayers matter! That being said, the Father knows what needs will arise, and Matthew tells us that if we are faithful to ask in accordance with His will, we will receive, so ask the Lord how you can support me! 😉 He knows best, honestly.
2. Interact
One of the most practical and FREE ways that I’m asking you to support me is by interacting with my blog posts and my updates on social media. This is more than a trip for me. The World Race is what my life looks like right now and my blog posts are a part of my ministry. These posts serve to keep my supporters, friends, and family up to date on all the happs, but as I write in tandem with the Holy Spirit, my hope is that people would encounter the Gospel and come to know Jesus through the words that I am writing. It costs nothing and takes no time to click the like or share button.
Because of algorithms, comments are vital to a post’s ability to move around the internet, so if you’re really committed, make sure you drop a comment and let me know how the Lord is moving in your life after you read my updates!
3. Give
Sooooo… Maybe I’m kind of still asking for your money… but this time its for deoderant.. ;P
When a World Racer claims to be fully funded, that means that all of our transportation, lodging, food, and a portion of our supplies for the year are taken care of. There is so much more that we pay for out of pocket. Here are some examples of what I might use personal money for: any ministry outside of what our host has asked us to do, adventure days, taking folks out for coffee, etc. I saved a good bit of money prior to the race to be sure I wouldn’t be dependent on other people to send me on ziplines and rappelling down waterfalls, but if you’re ever feeling generous and wanna buy me an ice cream cone, a new tube of deodorant, or a nice sabbath dinner, feel free to drop me a dollar. ;P
ALSO, THIS IS BIG NEWS!!!!
MY DAD IS COMING TO THE FIELD (Lord willing.) One of the most highly anticipated parts of the World Race is Parent Vision Trip, better known as PVT. Covid has thrown my whole experience for a loop, but I’m so hopeful that PVT will happen for us and my dad will join me on the field for one week in a country that has yet to be determined. Knowing that, I will be fundraising to get him out here, so if you’d like to contribute to my dad being a World Racer for a few days, you can donate to that! Just drop some dollars to your preferred money sharing app and note that it’s for PVT and I’ll make sure it gets to the right place.
Also, I’ve got some pretty stellar squadmates that wanna be the hands and feet of Jesus out here, so donate to them here: I Squad.
That’s all I’ve got for ya right now, folks. It also supports me well when people reach out just to say hi! I’d love to catch up with some of you in the next few weeks, so feel free to shoot me a message on whatsapp, imessage, facebook, instagram, or snapchat! I’ve also got Marco Polo and Facetime if ya wanna see my face sometime! Haha
Would you sit with the Lord and ask Him how He is asking you to support me in my ministry? He’s faithful and He will tell ya!
Thanks for loving and supporting me well.
I’m immensely grateful for you, my friends.
