I've been reading a book called People Raising, it's a Biblical guide into raising funds for the ministry God has called me to. I, like many others rarely like this part of the ministry but now I have a new sense of motivation and lets say purpose! Over the years God has planted a seed of hope, love, compassion and a deep desire to serve Him in a place that most people often forget even exists. He has placed in me a desire to bring Him glory in all that I do and that just so happens to be…bringing the name and love of Jesus to the people of Cambodia! My mission to Cambodia is ultimately my main ministry but you know what else is apart of my ministry in this mission? Following the Holy Spirit as he guides me to people who desire to partner with me in this huge task God has placed on my heart. Not only is this my mission but the mission of the body of Christ. We are all in this together and I take comfort in knowing God has and will continue to place a burden on people around me to walk along side me in this journey of bringing His name to the nation of Cambodia!
As I'm learning on how to Biblically and effectively rasie support, can I ask for people to pray along with me for the ability to hear the Holy Spirit's voice and for people who will share this burden with me?
I am looking forward to what the Lord has in store and can't wait to share the amazing stories of God's love, provision and blessings in this journey!
Below is a picture of one of the happiest moments I experienced in Cambodia in 2011:)
"God can do anything, you know—far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams! He does it not by pushing us around but by working within us, his Spirit deeply and gently within us."
Ephesians 3:20
Thank you for sharing your heart and time!
