Dear Family and Friends,
 
Happy New Year! I hope this letter finds you and your family well.  It's been a while since I've sent an update so I thought that this would be a good time to do so.  The year 2012 was an exciting year full of changes and new opportunities.  In May, I graduated from Liberty University with my Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology with a specialization in Christian Counseling.  I also left my job as secretary at Hope Assembly of God, in order to pursue a Master's degree in Human services.  In the Fall I started attending a bible study in Genesis where one of the major themes that God has been speaking to me about is stepping out in Faith.
 
In November I was accepted to an 11 -month missions trip which leaves this September.  I will serve as a missionary through an Organization, Adventures in Missions, in their World Race program. The World Race is an 11-month Christian mission trip to 11 different countries around the world. Through adventure, ministry, community, and self- discovery, World Racers develop broken hearts that propel their hands to act for God’s kingdom around the globe. On the World Race, my team and I will serve in partnership with churches and ministries in local communities to preach the Gospel, plant churches, work in orphanages, minister to women and children who are trapped in prostitution as a result of human trafficking, and bring the restoration and hope of the Father’s love to many tribes and nations. I am so grateful for this opportunity that God has given me, and have every confidence that He will provide for my needs! Ultimately, my prayer is that He will do that through you. I am writing to you to ask if you would consider partnering prayerfully and financially with me in my ministry. I must raise $15,000 in order to go on the World Race, which covers all of my expenses on the field. This financial support can be given as a one-time gift or as monthly donation, wherein you choose the amount and beginning and end date. If 25 people pledge $50 a month for 12 months, I would have 100 percent of the funds necessary for my trip.  I have enclosed a card for you to use to send in your support or you can visit my webpage at annajavaux.theworldrace.org and support me through the webpage.     (If you're reading this in my blog you can go to the support link on the left side of this page.)
 
I am so excited to see how God will move in my life and in the lives of others in the coming year. I hope not only to be a blessing to those I serve, but also to you. I would be honoured to go as your representative to bring Christ Jesus to nations around the world. I want to thank you in advance for your prayers and financial support.  May God bless you as you prayerfully consider partnering with me in this ministry as I continue to step out in faith.
 
 
Joyfully,
