I have some support challenges, and if all of them are met, I will be fully support raised!  I ask that you would please pray that these challenges are met, and also prayerfully consider either meeting one of these challenges or commiting to finding someone to meet a challenge.  I know that God is faithful and it's my prayer that I would be fully supported within the next 7 days.  Here is the breakdown:

  5 people giving $20
  9 people giving $30
10 people giving $40
  8 people giving $50
  8 people giving $60

You can give by clicking here or clicking on the Support Me link on the left hand side of the page.

I will send updates as these goals are met.  It is my prayer that they are all met by Friday August 20th.  Thank you so much for your prayers and faithful giving!

Note:  If you are going to meet a support challenge, or find someone to meet one, please email me (mikeyphresh19@gmail.com)  telling me which challenge.  That way I can keep everyone updated on the goal.  Thanks!




 
 
 
My name is Mike Sanders (on the left) and I'm a World Racer!  God rescued me from a life in sin and placed on my heart a call to reach the nations with the good news of Jesus Christ!  I have a passion for reaching the lost and also building up the church - freely I have received and so I want to freely give.  As much as this trip is going to minister to the people we encounter, and also minister to my teammates and I, God also wants to use the mission to minister to people back home.  God is going to bless so many people with the opportunity to join this mission, whether prayerfully, financially, or simply by reading the amazing stories that will be posted on our blogs.  Check out the posts on my blog, they will give you a closer look into my heart and my walk with Jesus.  There are some amazing testimonies of how God has been moving, and also some encouraging writings to simply build people up and strengthen their foundation in Christ.
 

I would love for you to watch this short video.

This World Race promo is an amazing and inspiring video! It breaks my heart every time I watch it, and affirms the calling God has placed on my heart. Check it out!

What Others Are Saying
 
 
"Mike, you are one of the boldest people I know and what's awesome about your boldness, is that you speak through love.  Not only for the person you are talking to but also you are so full of love for Christ.  I am so excited to watch you in action for a whole year.  God bless you brother :) "  -Melina Orengo, L-Squad World Racer/Team 180
 
 
"Mike, you totally blew my mind with your knowledge, passion and maturity in Christ.  I have no doubt in my mind that you are to go on the race.  This is your calling."  -Will Jung, L-Squad World Racer
 
 
"You have such a calling on your life, and you will proclaim God's word to the nations!"  -Maryanne Yeary, L-Squad
 
 
"You are an anointed fire breather.  I remember the first time I met you and within the first few hours you were a walking and talking messenger of the Lord.  People easily connect with you and you talk to them in a loving genuine way, not condemning.  You are bold and have already changed and encouraged lives here and to that soldier at the airport.  I can only imagine where God is going to take you.  This year you are going to change the lives of the broken, the widowed and the orphaned.  You will encourage the church and believers who want to know more.  Your passion, drive and perseverance are contagious.  Just by being you, Christ's light and truths are revealed, and guaranteed the nations will NEVER be the same!!"  -Becky Lynn Miller, Former World Racer
 
 
"Mike is a confident man of God, willing to go and do whatever the Lord is asking Him to do.  He has a gift for teaching and sharing the Word of the Lord, and has been a wonderful encouragement to our entire squad throughout the week of ignition training!  I'm excited to watch the Lord use him during the World Race this year!"  -Nicole Ricketts, L-Squad
 
 
"Mike loves the Lord, it's so evident.  As well is his passion and desire to serve the world.  I've been blessed by Mike, hearing of his obedience and the things the Lord has done through it.  Can't wait to change the world with him!"               -Amy Davidson, L-Squad
 

"Mike, I am thankful for you.  You are always an inspiration as to what our faith should look like."  -Logan Martin, Campus Crusade for Christ, UW-Milwaukee
