I can’t believe my time in America is almost up. A little less than two weeks to go. Crazy. I got an email yesterday that my visa will be here tomorrow!! I was getting a bit nervous that I might have to push back my flight until it got here.
God has blessed me beyond belief. Something that I keep saying is that I would be a fool to ignore all the confirmation that God has given me for my return back to South Africa. I know that I would be disobedient if I didn’t return. In a short month, I’ve been able to get a discounted airline ticket, found a place to live, been commissioned by two churches, been contacted by multiple people that wish to support me, had my student loans paid off by Simpson, and my friends in South Africa are making sure that everything is ready for my return!
I made a trip up to Redding this last weekend. It was great to see my college friends and Stirring family, but it was weird being there. I kept saying that everything was familiar, but that I didn’t belong there and I felt like a foreigner. It was awesome being back at the Stirring and checking in with the people that have been praying for me and supporting me for the last year of my life. Thanks to everyone who has had a part in my ministry in any way!
Some of you have been asking how you can financially support me, here are a few ways. Please ignore the link on the left of this page. This will send money directly to Adventures In Missions, which I am no longer associated with. I have two churches that are heavily partnering with me and sending me out. The church I’ve grown up in, in Livermore, Ca, and the Stirring in Redding, Ca. If you are interested in supporting me financially, checks can be made payable to DISCOVERY CHURCH with LEAH RUSH in the memo line. These checks can be sent to Discovery Church, 5860 Las Positas Road, Livermore, Ca 94551.
For those in Redding, checks can be filtered through the Stirring, again making checks payable to THE STIRRING with LEAH RUSH in the memo line. These can be sent to The Stirring, 1348 Market St. #201, Redding, Ca 96001.
thanks for the love you’ve shown me.
In the words of Jason Mraz, “Look into your heart and you’ll find love, love, love, love…”
Leah, Your candid sharing of your process in following God’s will has inspired me more than I can describe. I’m so happy that your faith has brought you this far. You do a wonderful job of combining spiritual and practical worlds in your postings. Isn’t interesting how we can feel “foreign” in a familiar place. Or like a “local”, in a brand new land? Growth isn’t always comfortable. Loving you with all my heartAuntie Joy
