Us storyteller leaders had an assignment to interview our teammates where they have seen God show up in the prepping, packing, and fundraising for the World Race. This just brushes the surface of the stories we have heard.
Where did you see God move? In prep, pack, fundraising…..
FUNDRAISING STORIES
“Given $3000 before coming to launch and am now fully funded”—Laura
“March was a deep spiritual warfare battleground with fundraising and less than $200 came in. Jesus and I had a moment together, and the first weekend in April about $4000 came in”—Shannon
“God moment. Wanted to reach $13,000 before launch…needed $600. The same day I posted the need, $1200 came in that day”—Macky
“I saw God move in fundraising by all the many many people who stepped in to support me! Even the people I don’t know! There is one time I was getting random donations from people I didn’t know, and soon I found out that there was another person with my same name fundraising too. And I was getting her donation. Once everything was fixed and the donations went back to her I even had one of her supporters reach out and donate to me anyway! So cool God!!”—Ashley
“Gear from tuner knob on D string on guitar was broken, but the owner at the music store gave a new knob for free, so I could bring the guitar on the trip”—Laura
“I can feel him with people giving. The people that I think have the least give the most. God is so excited to have us this year. Like I can feel his spirit and it’s exciting!”—Hudson
“I saw the Lord move in my fundraising through connecting me with people from as far back as my elementary childhood with people supporting me reminding me how I have always wanted to pursue missions”—Jordan
“God provided exactly what I needed, no more no less. He is teaching me to grow in my faith”—Courtney
“Receiving donations from people I didn’t expect that I only had one conversation with but they donated even more than I expected. My parents have seen how the Lord has provided and it has grown their own faith and knowledge of Him”—Jen
“I didn’t realize how much God was going to reveal with fundraising. How to not compare with other teammates and just resting in the fact that He called me to this and He will provide everything”—Michaela
FOUR out of 30 OF MY SQUADMATES AS OF LAUNCH ARE FULLY FUNDED!!
OTHER GOD MOMENTS
“Ready to go, but didn’t realize I wasn’t ready to leave”—Macky and Michaela
“90ish% of my gear was bought or given to me from God through friends and family”—Shannon
“God is still moving in preparation for this trip. My eyes are widening to what He’s doing. He’s allowed for closer conversation with my brother that I didn’t have before. I saw widows give their last dime to this trip and am expectant for fundraising to continue fruitfully”—Katrina
There are so many stories, so many God moments, and we will continue to see Him move!
UPDATES FROM SHANNON
Currently $2090 away from being personally fully funded and praying boldly that it comes in before August 5th–the day we leave for Mongolia!
May you be filled with all His contagious joy, unconditional love, and peace that passes all understanding…
Yes, there is victory in Jesus. Thanks for sharing the blessings
I absolutely love God moments. He always seems to SHOW up just when we need HIM, he’s good in that way. I love seeing all of you TRUST in our heavenly father!
