Alright, so the one thing that I need but the hardest thing to ask for.I'm just going to lay it all out with what I am in need of, awkward or not I need to take the step of faith that their are going to be people who are willing to be apart of this with me.
Financial (most awkward out of the way first)
Flight: My mom has allowed me to put my flight on her visa and then work it off either as soon as I can or when I get back from school, which is the biggest blessing
Tuition: I am going to be able to now pay my tuition in full. (anything leftover will go towards my flight)
Outreach: I am fully depending on God for this. Right now I have about $1300, from some family and friends - thank you =) I will probably need around 3 thousand, so almost half!
Encouragement
I must say that taking missions seriously and moving forward in this call on my life has actually been very hard. Which actually make sense because I am going against what the world wants and storming the gates of hell, so I sure hope there would be some persecution because that means that we are doing our job as a solider of the Kingdom of God. Honestly what I truly need is to know that all you guys believe in what I'm doing and what God is worth, and even just the simplicity of knowing that God is good and that there is always a light in the darkness and the hardest times. I am definitely someone who needs affirmation a lot when things are hard or even when there are good because it puts things into focus again. So a huge way that you can support me is being involved in what I'm doing and letting me know how you feel about it all. Verses, words, or anything you feel God is putting on your heart to share.
Prayer
This is kind of a big one. Yes, I would love to be remembered in your daily prayers, but also I would like to challenge you to step out from how you're use to asking God for his hand in our lives, and truly pray with out a single doubt in your minds, in away that opens the door for God to do more then what he already does everyday. It is His spirit that makes all things happen, so even by me asking Him to get me to Australia (across the world and having no money) is allowing Him to show me that if He actually wants me to get somewhere then HE is the one that can make it happen. Of course I could have worked 5 jobs and made all the money myself and not needed God or any of your help, but thats not the point of all this. God can be so much more powerful if we allow him to and the main way to do that is to pray with unfailing faith and watch him move in the ways he is longing too. So I ask you to allow God to be BIG and to ask him to do works beyond our imagination. Lets give him the space to move.
I will keep this as updated as I can and make sure that those who want to be in this with me are fully caught up all that is going on. Thank you so much and please pray into what God may be asking you to give and how your gifts can benefit me. At the least I would love you to be aware of what God is doing, its going to be epic :)
