Being You

Standard

After walking the dream journey for awhile, you come to realize that the journey is much more about the dream giver than it is about the dream. Sarah just got back from London and a big dream. In her search for what’s next, she is finding Jesus and even more than that. She’s finding who she is in Jesus. And it is a beautiful thing…

Sarah

Here’s what gets me about the Israelites…

There they are, a couple days walk, from their Promised Land. Canaan, God’s promise, the land flowing with milk and honey! And they get it so wrong. They forget who they are- His chosen people. Because of their forgotten identity, they build golden calves, intermarry with foreign nations, let 8 cowardly spies convince them not to enter their Promise.

It’s so easy to forget who we are in the wilderness, but it’s also where we become the surest of who we are. Look at Jesus. The Holy Spirit takes Him out into the wilderness; He leads Him there. Then Satan gets all up in His business and challenges who He is. Notice that. Satan doesn’t question Jesus’ good motives or plans or dreams.

He questions who He is. “If you are the Son of God…” he sneers.

I am becoming less and less convinced that God cares about what we do, but much more about who we become.

Because if we really understood who we were, our very identity, the way the Creator of the Universe sees us, we would change the world.

When you know you’re a son, you can’t help but talk about your Father. When you know you’re a father to the fatherless, you’ll take care of the orphans. When you know you’re redeemed, you’ll go to marginalized women and offer grace. When you know you have a John the Baptist call on your life, you can’t not evangelize.

Your identity is what changes the world. It’s not being in Kenya or in my case, London. It’s not finding the perfect ministry position or top paying job to fund missions or even the perfect spouse. It’s not finding a community you can be weird in or a church that lets you dance. You being you will change wherever you are.

In Deuteronomy 7:6, Israel is told that “…you are a people holy to the Lord your God. The Lord your God has chosen you to be a people for his treasured possession, out of all the peoples who are on the face of the earth.”

The world and those in it told them otherwise. And I have a feeling that at some point on your Kingdom Dream journey (if not already), you’re going to be told the same. But guess what? IT’S HOGWASH! Whoever and whatever God says you are is who you are.

You aren’t a bum, you aren’t a weakling, you aren’t a mistake or failure.

You are chosen, royal, powerful. You are beautiful, precious and world changing. You are a history maker and a nation shaper. Act accordingly.

God says I’m a worshipper, so I should be worshipping wherever I am. He says I’m a lioness so I protect my cubs regardless of where they are in the world. He says I’m a princess so I expect Him to make it rain when my bank account makes me doubt His faithfulness. He says He has a plan when I feel useless and am stuck watching the third episode of ‘The Mentalist’ in a row.

I can be me anywhere I am. You can be you anywhere you are. So go be you!

That’s where your power and the glory of God reside. Go be the fearless woman of God your middle of nowhere town needs. Go be the steadfast man of faith your family needs you to be. The bold evangelist to your college buddies. The free prophet to your conservative church. Be you! Because everyone else is taken. And because the world needs it.

 

Anti-Trafficking Dream Tour

Standard

“The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me…”

We’re hitting the road again!

This time, we’re headed to the ministries who are actively involved in ending the sex-trafficking industry. Our team will connect with those who help the victims and reach out to the perpetrators. We will serve along beside them in the nightclubs, the outreach centers, and the businesses that employee the men and women who are building a new life.

Although it’s impossible to have completely accurate data, it is estimated that there are hundreds of thousands of men, women, and children involved in the sex trade in the United States each year. 100,000 of these are children.

The numbers are reaching epidemic proportions right in our own backyard.

“…to bring good news to the poor; he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted…”

The goals of the Dream Tour Team are to:

  1. Serve, encourage, and connect with the dreamers who are in the front lines battling against human-trafficking.
  2. Love on the victims and the perpetrators.
  3. Explore their personal Kingdom passion for the captives.
  4. Allow God room to lead and provide in miraculous ways.
  5. Tell the story of real dreamers in the real world.

Here is the tentative route:

  • October 8th – Launch from Gainesville, GA
  • October 9-13 – Jacksonville, FL
  • October 14 – Tallahassee, Fl
  • October 15 – 18 – New Orleans, LA
  • October 19-20 – St. Louis, MO
  • October 21-23 – Chicago, IL
  • October 24 – Columbus, OH
  • October 25-28 – North Carolina, multiple stops

We’re building the team and the finalizing the route right now. Please pray with us as we step out in faith and hope.

WE NEED YOUR HELP!  SPONSOR A DAY OF THE TOUR!

It takes about $75 a day to keep the Dream Tour Team rolling on down the highway. This covers fuel, food, and lodging for a team of 4 people. Can’t get much cheaper than that!  We’ve already received two sponsors. Now we need 19 more.

Please sponsor a day! Make your easy, tax-deductible donation on-line here.

Meet Toni-Lyn and Her Dream

Standard

Toni-Lyn dreams of an end to human trafficking starting right here in the states. What is she going to do about it? She’s headed out on a Dream Tour this fall!  More details to follow…

Hello! My name is Toni-Lyn.

If I could be any animated character I would be Pocahontas. She is free-spirited, roams God’s creation, and she soaks in the beauty around her. Plus, she sings about rivers and colors, and seems like a peaceful warrior, and I just love that!

As kind of the antithesis of that goal (to be a free-spirited, singing, wandering, color-lover, obviously) my outlandish ambition would be to “accidentally” drink the concoction that would give me super powers to shoot lazer beams and fly and climb walls. I’d like to take over a city and fight evil. Either that, or I would like to be adopted into the Cosby family (the TV show version). I’d at least like to be Rudy’s best friend.

My Vision for the Dream Tour

About 5 months ago God gave me a vision of a road trip where we could discover what sex trafficking looks like all around the US. Besides the fact that sex trafficking is highly prevalent in the states, it also looks very different at different stages of the process (prevention-rehabilitation) and in different settings. Here we are now, God is opening doors wide for this very vision!

My hope for the team is to stretch our awareness of what sex trafficking looks like across the states. We will video blog to raise awareness and celebrate God’s pursuit of the people we meet.

It is my heart to have us be unified as we go out and not only gain a deeper understanding of this issue but of the hearts’ of the people we encounter. This will also be a time of celebrating our own stories of redemption and God’s restoration and freedom!

I am excited to have a team of us exploring the depths of this issue. My concerns mainly stem from the knowledge I have of working with such a dark thing, the enemy won’t want us near and the warfare may come heavily. However, I also know from building relationships with people trapped in the sex industry that bringing our light in will permeate any darkness we come across.

Please be praying against the darkness! Pray joy, life, freedom, redemption and celebration! With thankful hearts we will go out to see what it is that God has given and is waiting to pour out over this nation.

Training For a Dream

Standard

Thought it was about time to catch up with Pei Yee. She just got back from Appalachia in Tennessee where she helped lead adults and  high school students on a missions trip there. She’s gearing up now to head to Africa. Please pray for her!

Pei Yee

As I was looking back at the past 2 years, I saw how God took me out of Malaysia to go on the World Race, which was the start of an explosive journey with God.

On the Race, my idea of who God is and who I am was completely redefined. I began to see how personal God is – that He speaks through the day-to-day little things and I can hear His Voice; I started to understand who I am in Christ – His precious daughter, a princess in His Kingdom, somebody who is given authority in Jesus’ name. I began to learn to see people for who God made them to be, that He loves EVERY single person, and that I am to love them too (sounds so cliche but it’s one of the hardest thing to do).

My heart was broken for an African kid, challenged by a Cambodian young man, encouraged by the countless testimonies I heard and saw along the way.

As if this was not enough, God then challenged me to build up my faith by going on the Dream Tour. Even though we started with only a full tank of gas and $200, we came home with more than that after 40 days. Incredible? Not at all, for our God is a God who says “Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow…But if God so clothes the grass of the field…will He not much more clothe you…” (Mt 6:30).

Then God provided another opportunity to grow in a deeper understanding of the Holy Spirit and His works in Ecuador. That was when I experienced a man being healed right before my very eyes after praying for him.

Appalachia, Tennessee was then a very growing trip in terms of leadership and administrative skills. Preparing, teaching, leading 65 people of all ages from different denominations for 2 weeks was no easy task. But God showed me that He was able to move people’s hearts faster than I ever imagined, that it really is “my message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power.” (1 Corin 2:4).

This coming September God has called me to attend Iris Ministries’ Harvest School of Missions. It is a Spirit-filled and Spirit-led, hands-on, in the dirt, evangelistic missions training school, set in the Village of Joy in Pemba, Mozambique. Iris’ vision is “CALLED TO LOVE”. It costs everything. It’s passion and compassion. Extravagant love that gives without expecting back. A laid down life. A love that looks like something practical.

Read the full post here.

Pei Yee needs your help. She needs to raise $8,850 to make this happen. Her dream is to reach the lost youth in the 10/40 window. That’s the areas of the world who have the highest numbers of lost people. She wants to bring the love and truth of Jesus to them. This school will help train her with practical ways of making that happen.  Please prayerfully support Pei Yee in launching her dream.

Preparation…Urgency…Blow Out

Standard

I thought this story would inspire you…

Leah went on the very first Dream Tour. Her passion is to bring about revival through music. She’s been steadily working toward the dream by keeping in rhythm with the one who gave her the dream. I’m honored to get a front row seat to watch my daughter’s journey.  She is an amazing woman of God.

Leah

It’s hard for me to fathom how God put this whole thing together… this thing called a dream… how He placed it in me… how He developed it…how He is slowly but most definitely realizing it…

About a month ago, I found out that a band I’ve been a fan of was coming to Georgia, and made it a point to attend the concert (The Vespers).

I asked my roommate and (spiritual) sister to go with me. My roommate smiled and said, “I think you need to email the band and ask them if you could open up for them!” I laughed it off, thinking, “NO WAY am I going to email them that! I don’t even know these guys. How rude!?”  I wouldn’t do it unless the Lord gave me that urgency…that pulling. And it was dropped… for a while.

A couple days later I got a message from my sister. It read, “So… you know how we’re were talking about you opening up for The Vespers? I really feel like you need to, or you’re going to!”

Great. WHAT IS GOING ON LORD!?! Then He spoke. Softly. But distinctly. “Prepare your set. Prepare yourself.

In the time leading up to the concert, I began to feel it. The urgency.

So I was obedient, and prepared a set list that I could play on hand. I was in deep prayer on the way to the show…. “Lord, whatever you have planned… I’m ready. Whatever you want me to do… I promise I’ll do it. I won’t be bound by fear. I won’t let it stop me.

Just in case you’re wondering… that’s a dangerous prayer to pray… I found that out later.

We arrived at the music venue (which was also a restaurant) about an hour before doors opened for the show. After eating in the dining room, we were allowed in to watch the band sound check and set up. After a short while they were done and left to eat. My sister “tweeted” at The Vespers saying that we were there watching the sound check. And much to our surprise, they replied, inviting us to come sit and eat with them.

We introduced ourselves, and made pleasantries. They are quite lovely, down to earth people.

While we were chatting, Bruno (band member), realized that they had a set for a two hour and 45min set (if you are unfamiliar with concert set times, that is a VERY VERY LONG SET). “We should have found someone to open for us!” he said. Then paused a moment and smiled. “Any of you play anything?”

Needless to say, my sister and friend just about jumped out of their seat, pointing at me and screaming, “SHE DOES!!!!! SHE DOES!!” He smiled at me ,“You wanna open for us?”

YIKES! How could the Lord have meant THIS!! He couldn’t have! No! Stuff like this doesn’t happen. Not to me. To which the Lord replied, “you promised.” There was a familiar smile in his voice.

I did. I did promise…and although I thought I might die from nervousness, the Lord had prepared me a month before… and had been warning me something big was coming… something significant… So I agreed (in a high pitched shaky voice may I add).

I played 4 covers. 2 originals. And I messed up. And I was nervous. But I did it. No. God did it.

After the show I got many compliments for the band and the audience. The Lord used them immensely to sweetly chide me for feeling like I didn’t do well. One of the band members even joked, “Maybe she should just open for us always!” It was beautiful. And the Lord set me into motion. My dream. The dream He gave me. He set in motion. In the most incredible, blow out way He could have.

In some moments, I’m still not sure it really happened…. And in others, I’m so very aware that I can’t help but be empowered and praise Him…. Who knows what He has in store now… what opportunities will come… but one thing I know… is that He does provide… He longs to give me the desires of my heart…. And He will make His will be done…. Sometimes subtly.. and sometimes… NOT so subtly.

You can follow her journey here… Please pray for Leah as she continues to press on, trust, wait, and step out in faith.

F Bombs and Faith

Standard

Sarah was on our Winter Tour. She is a passionate woman who is all about Jesus. Sarah has been walking out the dream journey for all of it’s wonders and struggles.

(We’re all in the process of sanctification; we’re working out our deals. I’ve noticed that one of the deals of passionate people is often cursing.)

Sarah

Hang around me long enough and you’ll hear me say it. “F bomb.” It’s the perfect interjection.

Pulled over for speeding? “F bomb.”

A particularly convicting point in Sunday’s sermon? “F bomb.”

And as I’ve been living my ordinary, regular, not-so-exciting, post Dream Tour life, trying to make my dream of opening a London prayer and worship house a reality, I’ve been dropping a lot of F bombs. Because this dreaming thing is hard. More specifically, seeing your dream become a reality is hard.

A passion is easy. Passion can be lived out every day.

My passion is love and freedom. So as I go about my daily life, I listen when my students complain about doing work I’ve assigned or give me a zombie look when I’m giving everything I have to make the Magna Carta interesting. That’s releasing love.

At my not-so-Spirit filled church home group, I tell stories about limbs regrowing and speak prophetic words over them. That’s releasing freedom.

But a dream is hard. And it takes another F bomb to make it reality, one that I struggle with sometimes.

Faith.

You see, while on the Dream Tour I got an email from an organization called Burn 24/7 inviting me to intern with them this summer. This organization creates 24 hour, 7 days a week prayer and worship houses in various locations all over the world for set amounts of time. This summer, leading up to the 2012 Olympics, they are hosting a 30 day “Burn” in London, and I got to be a part of it!

All was well until…it wasn’t. I didn’t hear from them. And time went on. And I emailed them. And nothing. And I emailed them again. And nothing.

WHAT THE F BOMB?!? I don’t get it. Jesus, You said this was happening right? You set all this up, RIGHT???

And all He said back was “Rest.”

Ok, yeah I’ll do that, JC, but I have to buy a plane ticket and raise money and say goodbye to people and- “Rest.”

Rest is simply trusting that God is who He says He is and I am who He says I am. He’s my Provider, my Dream Maker, my Promise Fulfiller, my Guide. I’m a warrior, a princess, His. If we really believe those things and rest in those Truths, then I wouldn’t be worried about getting this internship because I’d be believing God and what He’s said over my life.

So I rested. And just a few days ago, I heard back and I got to buy my plane ticket to London. I leave June 14 and will be there for 2 months. I still have a lot of needs, but I’m resting in my Papa.

He’s got this.

If you would like to be a part of answering these needs or just hearing about the amazing things God’s gonna do in London this summer, you can read my blog here or financially support me here.

Patience and Open Doors

Standard

Rebecca was on the Dream Tour in Fall 2011. Thought it was time to catch up with her and see what is happening…

Rebecca

Last year after spending the summer in Haiti with AIM, I came back to the States ready to go out again.

It’s kind of a common occurrence.

Over the last ten years, I’ve headed out on more than half a dozen short-term mission’s trips. It seems like I always have to come back to America too early. It never feels like coming home. I find myself wondering why God didn’t send me out for longer.

Last fall, I wanted to move back to Haiti for longer. I love creativity and kids. What better way to combine the two than at camp? So, I started planning. Meeting, budgeting, outlining, strategizing. Trying to get a team together to go to Haiti with me.

Moving into this year, I had as much of a plan as I could muster but no team. In fact, I got to a point where I couldn’t move forward any more. So, I asked God about it. He said something to this affect:

“You’re standing on your side of the room, and you’ve got your great plan and your outline. But if you want to know what I’m doing . . . you’re going to have to ditch your plan. Cause I’m not on your side of the room. I’m over here, and I’m not going to join you. I want to know if you’ll join Me.

So…

I gave up the idea of starting a camp in Haiti. Which kinda stunk cause I was really ready to get into something long-term, and small-town Nebraska isn’t exactly known for its . . . exoticness.

I wasn’t quite sure what to do with myself. Should I get a second job? Should I start something at home? Should I get more involved with my church?

I didn’t do any of the above. Instead, I started reading. Books about the history of Central Africa, a place that’s been on my heart for a while now. I wanted to know what had happened in that area of the world, how it had affected people, what was happening now. And God began to break my heart for the kids – the street kids, the former child soldiers, the orphans.

Day and night, I couldn’t get them off my mind.

Then, very quietly, He opened a door. A wide, unexpected door that looked like a plane ticket to Africa and three weeks in the part of the world that feels like home to me. I just got back from that trip a week ago. God says, “See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut.” I say, “Amen!”

I still don’t know what I’m doing. I’m not even trying to get a plan or an outline or a budget together this time.

Apparently, those are not gifts God has given me.

But through disappointment and long, grating-on-the-nerves times of waiting, He’s taught me that His timing is better than my own. And I don’t need sight because He will be my eyes. And His faithfulness more than makes up for the long list of things that I lack. And if this means that He becomes greater and I become less, then it is so, so worth it.

Health, Hollywood and Jesus

Standard

Molly

On the Dream Tour I’m not sure I learned anything brand new in terms of my dream, but things that I already knew were confirmed and solidified.

I’d like to share with you my passion and the next steps of my journey. Please pray with me as I move forward in faith.

MY PASSION
My main passion apart from loving the Lord full-time is to see the entertainment industry/ Hollywood rocked with the realization of the love of Jesus. God has put a burning within my heart to, first of all, PRAY for Hollywood, and second of all, work IN Hollywood (or the entertainment industry in general).

My dream is to create media that is thought provoking, pure in heart, and does a great job pointing to Jesus in a way that those who don’t follow Him can relate. Another dream is to be a part of relational ministry in Hollywood offering support to those caught in the trappings of the industry.

MY WHEREABOUTS
I just completed my Master’s of Science in Entertainment Business through Full Sail University in Orlando, FL. I learned some excellent, practical business principles that will propel me forward in the building of the dream. I constructed a business plan for a reality television production company that maybe will see the light of day one day. Time will tell.

In the fall, I will pursue additional media and ministry training through the International House of Prayer (IHOP) and their media school, the Forerunner Media Institute (FMI). I just applied for the school and should know in the next month if I’m accepted. I see this school as a foundational opportunity to be grounded in the Word, prayer, and also learn from some incredibly savvy media professionals.

GET HEALTHY!!!
Another way that I’m pursuing my dreams and passion is building a business that helps others reach their health and fitness goals.

I’m helping promote a health challenge that is absolutely ROCKING North America. It’s called the Body By Vi 90 Day Challenge, through an amazing company, ViSalus Sciences. Teri, Julie and I started the challenge while on tour together, and are continuing it over the next three months. It’s a great way to stay accountable and also have fun!

In helping others with their goals, I am able to build some income that will go directly towards my media ventures, including school in the fall. Take a look at my website (mollyptaszek.bodybyvi.com) and see if this might be something you’d enjoy as well! A bonus, you very easily get your products for free. Can’t beat free!

LESSONS LEARNED
Easily (or, not so easily) the biggest lesson I have learned so far in this journey is that I’m on the Lord’s timetable.

I began my pursuit of the industry back in 2002 and it’s been quite a road thus far. I have had to learn over and over to surrender the dreams and passions to Him, and trust that He is far more interested in me reaching them than I ever could.

It just looks a lot different that I would have imagined.

This past decade has been a training ground for the Lord to test, refine and mold into the woman and daughter HE desires. I can try to run ahead of Him, but it ain’t gonna work, sister! I’ve learned it’s best to go on His clock.

Also, I’ve learned that enemy does indeed like to steal, kill, and destroy.

I have to be on guard with my passion and dreams realizing that the enemy would do all that he could to get me off course. It’s critical that I stay so utterly connected to the Father so I can walk out HIS orders and HIS timing, rather than getting perpetually slimmed by the enemy.

It’s so true that the enemy comes to kill, steal, and destroy, while the Lord comes to bring life and life ABUNDANT!

PLEASE PRAY ME AND SUPPORT MY JOURNEY!
To keep up with my journey in the coming months I’ll periodically blog about a couple things – my journey of pursuing media and Hollywood; and health and wellness. I promise it will be exciting! Here’s the bare bones site if you’d like to add it to your RSS/Google reader/etc. – Health, Hollywood, and Jesus.

  • Please pray for me that I walk with tunnel vision on the Lord and His plans, not mine.
  • Pray that I will walk in full confidence and authority of my identity as the royal priesthood (1 Peter 2:9) and daughter of Most High King.
  • Pray that I hear clearly and do only what the Father asks of me.
  • Pray for divine connections within the industry who also have the same heart for the Kingdom.
  • Pray for my health business to launch well so that people can be free and healthy to walk out their kingdom assignments, and so that I can fund my kingdom dreams as well as others! I want to GIVE, GIVE, GIVE!!! Remember that for future reference, all you missionaries out there…with the fruits of the wellness business, I will sow right back into the Kingdom!
  • Lastly, Pray for Hollywood!!! If you’re interested in receiving occasional updates from one of my favorite Hollywood ministries, check out Hollywood Prayer Network.

Thank you and many blessings to all who read this!

24 Hours in the Life of God’s Bohemian

Standard

Rebecca

Rebecca was part of the Dream Tour Team of Fall 2011. She’s headed out tomorrow on another wonderful and crazy journey to bring a bit of Jesus to the world. Please pray for her!

I suppose I ought to be more careful about labeling myself. Apparently when God heard me say the word “Bohemian,” He took it very literally.

I’m leaving America on Sunday.

Again.

It all happened in 24 hours. A little, insignificant hiccup of a turn of the globe that will most likely change my life forever.

It started with Clint Bokelman’s newsletter. “We have a brand new team of missionaries in Kenya, and I will be visiting them in April and July. Want to join me?”

Oh, how nice, I thought. Kenya is next to Uganda which is next to the Democratic Republic of Congo which is where I want to buy a one-way plane ticket to. Maybe I can go with Clint in July. April won’t work. Isn’t it already April?

That’s what I was thinking before I talked to Clint. Clint is what is known as a visionary. An entrepreneur. One of those spur-of-the-moment idea people. I understand completely. I’m like that too. So, we started talking, and then Kenya came up, and then April came up, and suddenly it sounded like I could go. Like, seriously, get on a plane eleven days after the conversation we were having and fly to Kenya.

I decided I better ask God about it. And He said, “See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut (Rev. 3:8).” And I could see the door all big and glowing in my mind with the angels singing around it. “Hallelujah! Hallelujah!” Just like the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.

Well, that was it then.

I got on my computer and looked up airplane tickets. (This all happened a few hours after my conversation with Clint.) Plane tickets to Africa usually run around $2,500. I didn’t have half that. If God really was opening a door that no one could shut, He was going to have to convince the plane ticket people to come down in their prices. That’s what I was thinking when the first set of ticket options popped up.

First on the list: Grand Island, Nebraska, to Nairobi, Kenya: $1,300. That’s with tax.

If I wasn’t quite sure about God’s open doors, I most certainly am now.

I bought the plane ticket the next morning. In Kenya, I’ll be visiting an IDP (Internally Displaced Persons) camp for the first time after all the stories and pictures I’ve seen from other people who have gone. And then I have a couple extra weeks where I’m hoping to fly over to Uganda and see what that country is doing with its child soldiers.

Over the last several months, I’ve read nearly a dozen books about how war is affecting Central Africa’s children – long before I ever heard a word of Clint’s trip to Kenya. My travel dates are April 22 – May 14. But that’s all the concrete details I can give you at present. God’s planning the itinerary. Apparently, He’s pretty good at it.

Besides, I think this is what God’s Bohemians are supposed to do.

If you’d like to keep track of me during this journey, I’ll be updating my blog as often as possible.

But be prepared. You might not have much warning before something amazing happens.

Catching Up with Pei Yee

Standard

Thought you might like following the dream journey of one of our own, Pei Yee.

She’s off to Ecuador to meet up with Jennifer Toledo of Children’s Global Movement and begin her internship.

Here’s what’s happening in her world:

I cannot begin to tell you how faithful God has been. Every time I ask Him for a confirmation, He gives it to me. When I decided to go to Ecuador, I told God, “If you really want me to go, please confirm this by somebody giving me money without me asking.” The next day I was handed a check of $100.

Last Sunday when I announced to my parents’ church asking for donation items to bring to Ecuador, I did not mention anything about raising support. But in my heart I prayed, “God, show me that you are faithful and that You will provide by sending someone who will ask me about support raising.”  Now you should know that I don’t know very many people in the church and I usually do not talk to anyone at all, but this lady came up to me and ask how this trip is funded. So I told her that I’m support raising.

Read more of how God has faithfully provided for her here…

God wants us to ask.  He wants to show us just how well he can answer.

Pei Yee is finding that out in a big way.

Continue to pray for her as she pursues the next steps of her dream.
