Some Support Updates

I just wanted to share how amazingly support is going. I am now at 56% of my monthly goal and 78% of my one time goal. It's ridiculous. It's been amazing because it's not me at all. It's like God has spent the last 3 generations of my family getting things ready for me to raise support. Just the fact that my dad is a banker is kind of an act of God. He graduated from Texas with a degree in Chem Engineering and worked in that field for four years.

A combination of things brought him to McAllen. Mostly my mom's dad. McAllen to me is like living in a suburb of a big city, minus the whole big city part. About the only thing you're missing is the big attractions a city would have and a downtown. Oh well. The great thing about it's size is that many people have been here for my whole life and much more. McAllen's still got that small town connectedness on some levels. Maybe that's not even it. Maybe it's just God being awesome.

I can't really comprehend what it must have taken for God to set up this network of supporters He's providing for me. My parents friends have already heard of Crusade, and almost all of them are excited about me going. It's kind of ridiculous, and I hope you guys know I'm sharing this because it's not me it's God. I haven't had a bad appointment yet. Every appointment that God has provided, ends with a new supporter on some level.

I feel that I have to share that with you guys otherwise I would be taking it for granted. Rejoice because God is really freaking good. He really really is.

It's really awesome and encouraging to hear how God is really providing for you. I myself am really excited about you going and I can't wait to hear from you in the EA about all that God will continue to do. Get excited dude; if he's taking care of you like this in support, imagine what he might do in ministry.
