I now have 14 days till I leave for SE Asia. I have received all of my funding, $4,225, and sent in the last check. Thank you to my amazing church who gave $2,735 all together. It has been amazing to see how God has worked to get me the funds. I have gotten money from people I have never met that someone I know told them about me and they sent me money. My Aunt gave me $500 for Christmas to go towards my trip, the second time she has done this (last year for Africa). And when I first started raising the funds my church told me that whatever (no matter how much) I lacked they would pay for it. The security that gives is amazing, they even suggested giving it all at one point, I had to talk them out of it (believe it or not). I have had one very faithful lady give me $40 a week for 2 or 3 months, as of today she has given $440.
As the great hymn goes "Trust and Obey, for there's no other way to be happy in Jesus, but to Trust and Obey." He is faithful and will provide, when I started out I thought that the trip would only cost about $3,500, but as my domestic ticket has cost far more than I first anticipated it has become more. But God has taken up the slack and provided way more than I could have ever asked.
Romans 10:14-15
