Dear Family and Friends,
I have been accepted and given the opportunity to join the world Race. What is that you ask? The World Race is one of the programs through Adventures in Missions. It has been around since 1989, and has sent over 100,000 missionaries around the world. It is a Journey to 11 countries in 11 months while living out of a backpack. It is an interdenominational missions organization that focuses on discipleship. My Team and I will be serving with other churches and ministries.
Through much prayer and asking God what he wanted from me, I was led to do this mission. I do not understand why he chose this path for me, but all I know is that I have to be obedient to God’s command. I see the world is putting God to the side and makes me feel heart broken. God wants us to bring every person the good news-Romans 10:14-15. I believe he wants to use what I have experimented and learned to be able to reach out to an unbelieving world. For the past two years he has tested and taught me Patience, unconditional Love, Servant hood, TRUST, along many others. I am very excited to do what God has always planned for me.
The hardest part as of now is opening my heart to you to ask for support. Here I am obeying God and allowing you to be part of my journey. Below are different ways you can support me:
1. Prayer: My team and I will need lots of prayer. Prayer is the key to successful ministry and this is no exception. The team needs prayer to be united and to always be focusing on God no matter what happens. I will need prayer personally to stay looking to God and that he will shine through me to show the people what Christ can do for us.
2. Blog: you can go to my blog Darlinventura.theworldrace.org and donate there.

6. Gear: I’ve created a wishlist at REI. This is in addition to the cost of the trip and another great way to support my trip. Go to https://rei.com/WishlistHome and type my name to find list.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for considering partnering with me in whatever way God leads. Whatever it may be it will mean a lot to me. You can stay connected with me through my blog. May God Bless you and grant the desires of you heart, Psalm 20:4.
