If you know me, then hopefully you know about the passion I have to reach the lost. Since I was 9 years old, I knew that one day I would have a place on the missions field and that dream was fulfilled for me in the fall of 2009 in the country of Kenya. For three months I did everything from teaching school and ministering in hospitals, to working in orphanages and preaching in open air markets.
Many of you supported me on that trip and I am still so grateful for that. Since coming home, my passion for evangelism has only strengthened I have longed for the voice of my Heavenly Father to tell me when I can go back. Well, His voice has recently given me the confirmation that I will once again be returning to the foreign mission field.
The trip the Lord has called me on is called The World Race. It’s an eleven month, eleven country missions trip, reaching out to the least of these throughout the world. My particular Race will be going to India, Nepal, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Rwanda, Uganda, Kenya, Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania! I will be leaving in July of 2012. The World Race is a trip that is focused on releasing the Kingdom of God throughout the World. It’s a missions trip that uses people who are willing to leave everything and go anywhere to share the Love of Jesus. I know this trip will be an incredibly challenging, life altering experience. It is my joy to return to the mission field with AIM, doing similar ministry to what I did in Kenya once again.
On a trip of this magnitude, it is vital that I have a strong support system. I am asking you to join me on this journey fulfilling the great commission, to go into all the world and preach the gospel. One way you can be supporting me, is through prayer. While on the Race, I will be blogging and sharing what God is doing in me and in the countries I will be in. I would love for you to follow this blog as a reminder to pray for me! T
Along with the necessity of a strong prayer support team, I need to raise $15,500 for the entire eleven month trip. Since being accepted, I began to pray for one hundred people to join me with a monthly gift of $10, $15 or $20 a month from now until I am fully funded. Would you prayerfully considering choosing a monthly gift that would work for your budget and become one of one hundred? My goal is to be completely funded by July when I leave.

Anything you can do is so greatly appreciated!
I am so excited to see everything that the Lord will do in me and through me on this Race, I hope you will be a part of my journey!

“Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’ “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’" – Mat 2:37-40
