Mountains MOVED & 39% Faith Supported!

(Originally posted on December 16, 2015.)

My mind cannot seem to grasp the fact that in 19 days I'll find myself walking through airport security and boarding the plane that will take me to Costa Rica for 6 months of language school. It is also surreal to me that God has made a way for me to get my BMW sold, to pay off a student loan, and to raise an incredible amount of support in a short time. I've said it time and time again, and I will say it again; When God says it, He will do it!

I want to explain a little about how incredible selling that car and paying off the student loan truly is. I had a personal conviction (and my church staff felt the same) that I wanted NO supporter dollars going into my BMW or my student loan. I want to be able to say to every person who answers the moving of the Lord to support the work in the Dominican that EVERY penny is supporting the work and nothing else. However, that made those two things pretty big mountains in the way of me getting to the field. But God. But God has made a way in His perfect timing and flawless provision!

We listed my car for sale on a Sunday and by Thursday of that week, it was sold! Glory! 

I also had been working to pay off a student loan that I had from my time in school. This was something I prayed about quite a bit, because there was no way I could get it all paid with what I currently make at my job before language school. A few weeks ago, I had a balance of about $1,500. A dear friend of mine texted me, inviting me to lunch. After we finished, this person wrote me a check for $400 and specifically told me to put it towards my student loan!! (what?!) This brought my total to about $1,100. That very night, I entered a giveaway and won a ONE THOUSAND dollar visa gift card! In one day, ONE DAY, God took care of all but $100.00 of my student loan!! I am still working my full time job in the States, so I will have no problem finishing that off, glory to our God! 

Our God is a God of provision! He has the power to move impossible mountains! 

So my two massive mountains have been moved! With 19 days left, I am still meeting with people to increase awareness of the work and invite people (individuals and churches) to join the work God is doing in the Dominican Republic. I am currently at 39%. I must be at least 80% supported before I can get on a plane next summer to go to the DR.
