These years I have had off from school, I’ve had some more time to question and pray about what it is God is calling me into and really seeking out the desires HE has placed in my heart.
God has been changing my heart for His church, for community, for his sons and daughters that are around me. But as I was stepping into this here, I sensed a greater call to get up and go. Not knowing what that looked like, where that would take me, how to even make that happen , I just began to pray about it. Then I met a friend at church who talked to me about her experience with The World Race. Having God immediately light that fire in my heart, its something I knew I had to go after.
The World Race is through the organization Adventures in Missions. It is a Christian organization in which I will be traveling for 11 months to 11 countries. Throughout The World Race, my team and I will be partnering with churches and ministries to spread the love of Jesus. Through the planting of churches, working with orphanages, ministers to God’s children, sharing with them the greater hope, love, and life that our Father has for them.
Join me on the journey to
Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Haiti, Thailand, Philippines, Botswana, Malaysia, Swaziland, and South Africa
Throughout this process, I am nervous and scared, but I believe that is is something God has called me into so for that I am stepping out in faith and saying YES. I believe as part of God’s church, I cant do this alone. That’s when I need your help. PRAYER!!! I believe in the power of prayer. Pray as God prepares my team and I, for unity, safety, direction, to be available and willing to be His hands and feet. FINANCIALLY!!!! A part of The World Race we are required to raise financial support. I will need a total of $17,000. As I step out and trust in the Lord, would you consider joining me in this adventure?! Honestly you will be doing just as much by helping financially, as you provide the way for God to work.

(for Ashley Abelsen)
I have found in HIM there, there is freedom
there is joy
there is peace
He brings comfort to those who are hurting
He brings healing to those whose hearts are broken
He brings abundant life to those who are without
JESUS is the reason I live
