Dear Family and Friends,
Hello! I hope you are doing well. I’m writing to let you know about some exciting things that have been happening in my life. Over the past few months, God has been bringing me closer to him in a new way. Through many life changes he has been teaching me what it means to trust him in everything. He is showing me his love for me and for his children all over the world. He is lifting a lot of fear out of my heart and, I believe, has brought me into a new season. As I was recently praying for direction, the Lord placed in me a desire to serve him and brought me to the World Race.
The World Race is a Christian mission trip through a non-profit organization called Adventures in Missions (AIM). It’s an 11-month journey to 11 different countries. Through adventure, ministry, community, and love for people all over the world, World Racers are given the opportunity to act for God’s kingdom around the globe.
I am scheduled to leave in January 2013 and will be visiting the people of South Africa, Swaziland, Mozambique, India, Nepal, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Malaysia, Moldova and Romania. My team and I will be partnering with local churches and ministries 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, teach in classrooms and bring the restoration and hope of the Father’s love to many tribes and nations.
Since entering into this adventure, I am learning more and more that God is trustworthy. I know that he will provide for all of my needs. My hope is that he will use you! I am writing to ask if you would consider partnering with me on this journey prayerfully and/or financially.
In order to go on the World Race I must raise $15,500. This covers all of my travel, food, and lodging expenses over the next 11 months. My first deadline of $3,500 is due in two short weeks, 9/29/2012. This financial support can be given as a one-time gift or as monthly donation. There are two ways to support me in this way:
MAIL: Please make checks payable to Adventures In Missions and write my name clearly in the memo line to ensure that your gift will be added toward my goal.

The Lord is using this process to teach me about the power of prayer. I greatly value your prayers throughout this year. If you think of me and my teammates, please pray for us. I am already feeling a need to be covered in prayer and I know that this need will only increase while out on the field.
I invite you to follow my blog over the next year. By subscribing to receive "Update Alerts" on my blog you will know when I post updates. I am excited to share my experiences and photos throughout the journey.
Thank you for your support and care. I cannot do this without you. I am humbled that I have the opportunity to participate in such an amazing mission and I look forward to sharing many great stories of our Father’s faithfulness with you. I pray that God continues to bless you as you prayerfully consider partnering with me on this journey!
Love,
Emily Wright
