My soul, my heart, and my spirit have BEEN AWAKENED!
My faith has been TESTED and strengthened.
My comfort zones have been SHAKEN.
My heart has been BROKEN.
My human love has fallen short, as I’ve been filled with the LOVE OF JESUS.
My dreams have become more like the dreams of GOD.
My Vision is CLEARER.
My identity has been SECURED.
My message is STRONG…I have something to say and I am going to say it for the rest of my life.
These words are from my teammate, Katie Rowland, but they echo the exact words from my heart. I have seen the Kingdom of God alive this year. I have seen the sick healed, the starving children fed, churches come alive, fires ignited, new identities brought to life by Christ, and a world desperately seeking something more. The most beautiful moment is looking into someone’s eyes when they realize that the ‘something more’ is Christ, and I know that their life will never be the same.
Many people have been asking, “What are your next plans?” I just laugh because God has spoken boldness over me and called me and my teammate, Amy McAllister, to a ministry that neither of us would have ever considered before the race. Our hearts are beating with a calling for our generation. We are starting a traveling team and going on a US tour to AWAKEN our generation! God has asked us to call them out of a comfortable, mediocre, and mundane existence and into a life that is fully alive in Christ. God has given us a story this year and it is our responsibility to tell the world. This isn’t just a trip talking about how God has awoken us; this is a MOVEMENT to awaken the sleepers of America!
Our ministry will be broken into three major areas as we travel. We will be reaching out to churches, universities, and one on one meeting’s with those interested. Our goal is to go wherever God opens doors and share His truth and our testimonies. I thought my backpack would have a chance to collect a little dust this year but God had other plans. Once again we will pack our bags, load the car, and hit the road starting in September and ending in April 2010, with a break during the holidays.
After a year like I just had, how can I not go and tell the world! God has opened my eyes and given me a glimpse of who He really is and what I saw only makes me hungry for more of His goodness. I want everyone to know that same goodness and desire more of it in their own lives. This year would not have happened without my supporters, financial and prayer partners. The investment you have made in my life was not just in my life, but also in the Kingdom all over the globe. So from the bottom of my fully restored and awakened heart, I thank you!
I am asking you to support me again. I would not be writing you if I did not value the relationship we already have. Please consider continuing to be a part of that-through prayer, correspondence, and finances. My goal is to raise $8,500 to launch and go forth with this traveling team. The money will go towards travel costs, living expenses, ministry, etc. ,.
