Sooo....I need $1,640.33 by July 1st or I will be seeing your pretty faces way sooner then I want to.....I mean that in a good way of course....(insert crickets for background noise and ambiance).....
Well, that was awkward...but to the point, which I like.
So, who likes to read through Paul's letters (raise your hand)? I love his letters; they remind me of a song by Anberlin called Dismantle Repair...listen to it...seriously...Paul's words (which are from God) dismantle the "Joel" I talked about in the last blog I wrote, You're Not Dead Yet, and repair him to look like Christ, which is such a beautifully painful process.
Back to the point.
I have been reading backwards through the New Testament (not actually reading backwards, that would be a challenge), and I notice how Paul always manages to throw in the needs of himself and the other disciples or saints. What I like most about this is not that he is doing what every missionary does, ask for money and prayer-it is the way he asks. Paul ask out of boldness and expectation, and he was pretty much convicting in the way he went about it. He knew his role and the role of the body. He was called to spread the Gospel, and they were called to support his call. So he was blunt, spoke bold in instances, and spoke with expectation because he knew that no one could argue his point when it came down to it... not to mention that he would brag about what they would do for him to others so they also had a reputation to up keep when others were in need.
With that said.
I have a need, I need $1,649.33 dollars in a few weeks. Many will read this and say "I don't have $1,643.33 dollars to spare," and based off the fact that they can't fully solve my problem in one swing they won't do anything. Trust me when I tell you that NO AMOUNT IS TOO SMALL. I have 1,343 friends on Facebook (I am kind of a big deal). If each one of them gave a dollar I would almost be there. So, SHARE THIS NEED for me! Send my blogs to friends and family. Let them and God decide if supporting me is in His will, but PLEASE don't limit God by not sharing this.
I am writing this because I know this is where I am supposed to be. I came here to go through 11 months of transformation not only for the places that I am ministering in, but for myself as well. So I challenge you, the body, to do your part in keeping me on the field laboring for the Kingdom. Every member of the body has a role. Being on the field on the other side of the world is mine, and supporting me, like it or not, is yours. Like Paul, I say this knowing that you know this and knowing that you will continue to bless me as you have done so much in the past, which I am grateful for!
I thank you so much for your prayer and support and for what you will continue to do for me.
P.S. If you found this offensive read 2 Corinthians 9... Boldness and expectation.
