Half Marathon Financial Support for Africa Trip

            Greetings from Charlotte.  As many of you know, and some do not, I am currently at MorningStar School of Ministry.  One of the divisions of the school is the “Special Forces” which is essentially extreme missions training.  Since November we have been training physically, spiritually and emotionally for extreme missions situations.  Under the guidance of Steve Thompson and the other leaders in MorningStar Ministries, we have been trained in the discernment of spirits and hearing the voice of God very clearly for practical life situations.  We have also been going on “challenge trips” in which we are stretched emotionally and mentally so that if we are in hostile missions situations, we are not hindered by emotional and mental weakness.  Physically, we have been working out for 3-5 times a week, running multiple miles each time.  We are training for a half marathon on April 12^th.  You are receiving this letter because all three of these things are coming together soon and I need your help.

            At the end of the year, we will be going to Africa (most likely, the plans are still in the works).  This trip will cost a few thousand dollars.  Though I have been volunteering to reduce the cost of this trip, the volunteer reductions are spread evenly throughout the whole group.  One of the purposes of the half marathon is to give us a goal to shoot at, the other purpose is to help us raise money for Africa trip.  My goal is to not have to pay any money for the trip.  If I can get 10 of you to commit $10 per mile of the 13 mile half marathon, then I will likely not have any costs.  If 100 people commit $1 per mile the results will be the same.  To donate via PayPal, click here and follow the directions to support this trip to Africa.

Thank you already.
