Praise the Lord! God is Good! The Global Boot Camp 5K Run for Missions went really well, about 30 runners and/or volunteers showed up to the race and we harvested about $1,000! These past 4 months have been very busy as we have been volunteering with ministries such as Against the Grain, Second Harvest Food Bank, and New Song Christian Academy. We are getting closer and closer to leaving, I am so excited, we have less than 8 weeks until we leave! I would like to bring to your attention the huge financial need for the trip that still remains. As a team we are needing to harvest $6,000 accumulatively. We don’t know which country we are going to because of the lack of finances to purchase plane tickets. Our options are either Dominican Republic or Mexico, and we will be living with our strategic partners associated with New Song Christian Fellowship, for 3 months. Prayer support is still greatly needed for our team to be able to go on this trip. We have been told by our directors that either as a team we all go or we all stay. I know for me personally God told me and my parents that I was to take a year off and give it to the Lord by participating in Global Boot Camp. God has promised me that I will go. I don’t doubt it, I know He is my provider because he has already provided $2,500 for Global Boot Camp. There is no plan B, we are going, as my faith rises I hope that you will prayerfully consider and seek the Lord on an amount to sow into our team. You can email me at jonathan.lesher@gmail.com if you are interested in giving. Thank You so much for your continued support. God bless you! Merry Christmas!

GBC is going really well. We have been kept very busy gathering donations for Against the Grain’s annual Christmas Shoppe which lets lower income families children pick out gifts for their parents who normally wouldn’t normally be able to afford gifts for themselves. It’s a lot of fun driving around to different stores and receiving the donations and setting up collection boxes. As of right now we have 120 small gifts and our goal is to harvest 500 total. It has been really interesting living by faith, not knowing where these 500 gifts are coming from or even where we are going on our 3 month missions trip or even knowing who our leader will be. Something the Lord has been teaching me is this: “(God speaking) Do you really trust me and love me enough to not worry about where you will be going for 3 months?” I am expectant, I know God holds it all together and has my best in store, He knows exactly where we are going, who our leader is and where the money is coming from to pay for the trip. In and of myself I can’t make this happen, but God is faithful and always comes through. God is The Provider. Global Boot Camp is hosting a 5K Run for Missions, the primary reason we are doing this is because we are in need of about $8,000 total for our cost needed for everyone to go on the 3 month trip. If you would like to sponsor us to run it would be greatly appreciated. God is good and I am blessed to be part of this amazing process God is teaching me. Thank You all so much for your continued support!
