Missions Minded

Most of the people I've been meeting with in Celina are people with whom I've grown up going go church at Grace Missionary Church. I'm beginning to grow in thankfulness as I realize how blessed I am to have grown up in an environment where missions is considered so vital. I'm thankful for my parents raising me in a church that developed in me a heart for missions starting very young. And as I meet with more and more people, I'm so thankful for the missions mindset that has been cultivated in so many people who currently attend Grace or who have in the past.

So this is a shout-out to:

1. my parents who chose to raise me in a church that understood the great commission
2. The pastors and leaders over the past 20 years who have shaped the heart of the church and clung tightly to scripture to develop the mission statement of the church
3. the Church (as in the body of believers) who have allowed their hearts to be softened to the importance of taking the gospel to the ends of the earth

Thank You!!!

p.s. I'm at 20%!!!

15.8%!

Hi friends! The Lord's been showing me the importance of following Him. Period. End of story. To throw aside all distractions and just follow jesus. I tend to easily get sidetracked by people who are running the race of life beside me, but then my focus starts to shift to my peers instead of God. I'm learning that pursuing God is much easier when my attention is focused on him!

On another note, I'm currently at 15.8%... which means I have less than 85% to go! God is good (regardless of what percent I'm at)!

fun meetings!

I've gotten to meet with a lot of fun friends this week, and so far in the past three days, my monthly support has almost doubled. I still have a long way to go, but am so thankful that the Lord is not limited by resources and will bring in all the finances I need. I've also had quite a few friends partner with me in prayer, of which I'm abundantly grateful!

By way of numerical update: I'm currently at 5.7% monthly! Less than 95% to go!
