Since deciding to intern with GAiN the Lord has changed my heart about support raising. I have realized that it isn’t just a means to an end, but part of what God is trying to teach me through this internship. It is like the first step in the process. Sometimes I find myself putting confidence in my own abilities to do ministry, I think that my past experiences in East Asia or Santa Cruz will carry me through. But throughout this process the Lord has taught me that He is the only one I can depend on. When I come to the end of my rope, He is there waiting for me to trust Him with my life (like I should have done in the first place!).
The verse that I am claiming throughout this whole process is this one:
Hebrews 12:1 “1Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. 2Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.”
I want to fix my eyes on Jesus, the one who has called me and is faithful!
