So the time is ticking away!! 15 Days till Training Camp! 95 till I launch for the first country I will be going to- Kenya.. =) I'm starting to get really really excited! 

Can I let you all in on a little secret?? I AM PAST MY GOAL FOR MY FIRST FINANCIAL DEADLINE! 

Okay lovely peoples! Because the Lord is Yahweh and He loves me- I now have $6,849 towards my WorldRace account!!! AAAHH!  This is thanks to all of you! 6,849 "THANK YOU'S". I can't say it enough! I can't express how grateful I am, or how many times I have been brought to tears..Thank you all so so much!

Okay, so here are the dates and deadlines again for when I must have the money in my account, and I want you to be able to see the progress that's being made as I continue in this journey, and as you partner with me in this great adventure.       

                                                                                              

                                                                                               October 1: (DONE)

December 15: (DONE) (4 MONTHS EARLY)

$6,500 in my account

March:

$11,000 in my account

June:

I must be fully funded!

$15,500

How is this money being used? Many of you may ask that question, and I will be happy to show and tell the how, why's and where's. 

"The funds that you raise cover all team costs once the trip begins. This includes: food, lodging, and air, land & sea travel. It also covers administrative, setup, coaching, debrief, and training costs prior to and at the start of the Race. It does not include: personal spending money, travel to the training, travel to the start point, return travel home from a major U.S. city at the conclusion of the Race, medical insurance [required], and vaccinations. With the exception of personal spending money, you are permitted to raise additional funds to cover these costs and may be reimbursed from the excess support you raise."
-The World Race

Thankfully with your great response to fundraisers and ad's in the paper, your hearts just being moved to give-With the funds that you all have generously supplied,  I now know I am going on the World Race for at least the first 3 months! 

That's official. I have most of my gear now, and I'm just tying up loose ends getting small items here and there. I'm still getting vaccinations for the WR so please pray for me there. The last batch made me awfully sick! yuck! 

It feels good to be able to have a little breathing room, and not be so worried about deadlines right now. Thank YOU for that . This is 6,849 THANK YOU'S that go out to you! Because of your heart  and your investment into the Kingdom I am able to go.. You are the ONE sending me. Thank you.

While Funds are looking better than ever, I don't wanna slack up any. I still need more monthly sponsors. Please consider becoming a monthly sponsor. You can give whatever suits you per month $5/month, $10/month, $25/month, $50/month. While all donations are currently going towards my race itself. I will need a small amount per month just to kinda live off of during the race itself. I will be setting up a pay pal account for that very purpose closer to launch. Please let me know if you are interested in becoming a monthly sponsor.  

 I DREAM BIG- Honestly I would love to be so blessed by the Lord's deep pockets that I'm able to bless others with just as much as I am being blessed with. I love taking my tithe and using it to buy someone a new pair of shoes or buy them a meal. Maybe on the World Race that will come in a different forms. Maybe it will look like buying a kid a piece of candy, or buying someone a way to raft the Nile with the rest of our team. Or fly around Everest since it's a one in a lifetime opportunity.. All these things I want too of course! I just want you all to know that with every penny you give you are sowing into good seed. I am on a Kingdom Journey, and I simply invite you to become a part of this great adventure with me. 

Please consider becoming a monthly sponsor 

Wherever you find yourselves today I pray that you are caught up in the clouds with Him today. I pray His presence be increased, that He would be tangible to all your senses. I pray the very atmosphere be heavy dripping with invitation to come and BE with Yahweh, and I pray you say yes to the invitation. When He knocks, you simply answer..The Lord loves you and wants to delight in you, and right now as a smile is breaking across my face I pray that as you say yes to the invitation that you find yourself caught up in this great adventure. This great journey of love. Yours may look different than mine, but live it, and love it!

Live A Great Story-Devin
