I have to raise my funds though until end of July so my qualification to join the team flying this September to Medan can be completed. And I'm just enjoying how I'm becoming more bold to approach people, not to ask for money but to really catch up in faithful hope for an opportunity to share what God is doing in my life.
Prior to actually raising my support, I used to think, in pride, that I don't have to actually ask people for help. And God totally changed that making me realize that sharing my vision to others is not merely asking for money or support... But rather, giving other people an oppprtunity to be blessed by being a part of what God is doing in other nations... Because not everyone can go, but everyone can give and pray. That has always been my stand since 1st year college. Even as a student, I would spare even Php 50 to support missionaries. I dont know where that amount took our missionaries, maybe a meal for one of them, but definitely I believe that God saw that commitment as seed :)
So going back to catching up... The not-so-conversation-starter me actually started conversations. :) It's a joy to catch up with high school, college, review, and even old church friends. And even if I get NO for an answer to the opportunity-to-be-blessed that I'm offering them, there's still joy knowing that I have shared the goodness of Christ in my own little way. :)
All the more that I am blessed with those who pledges an amount, mainly because that meant that God spoke to their hearts to be generous through my testimony :) and I'm blessed to be used as an instrument to stir faith in the hearts of those committing.
Thank you Lord for I know that You have so much more in store for me this season!
