To my friends and family,
In September I am embarking on the World Race. What is this amazing opportunity you ask? It is a chance to go to eleven countries in eleven months spreading the love of Christ.
But why would someone your age do this, shouldn’t you go to college? How much does all this cost? Where are you going?
The reason I am doing this can be summed up in Matthew 28:16-20 This passage is better known as the great commission, where Jesus tells us to go into all the world spreading the gospel. This is the biblical reason I am going, the other reason is I believe there are things I need to learn that I can’t learn here. Also I believe God is going to use this time to really open my eyes to my purpose and calling in this world. During these eleven months I will be doing everything from working with children and human trafficking victims to building churches and schools.
The specific countries I am going to are as follows: the Philippines, Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia, Uganda, Rwanda, South Sudan, Ukraine, Romania, Nepal and India.
The cost of this opportunity is $15,500. In raising the funds I have deadlines. I must raise $3,500 by June 29th, $6,500 by August 18th. I must be fully funded by six months into my trip (somewhere around February 2014).
I ask that you pray about and consider supporting me in this endeavor. If you choose to do so, donations can be made online through my blog page jessehowell.theworldrace.org
I am also willing to do work for donations, I.e. odd jobs, mowing lawns things of that nature. I will be back in Portland at the beginning of July and will be available for work then. If you have any questions, job opportunities, comments or concerns please call me at 503-729-0491 or email me at [email protected]
Thank you for taking the time to read a bit of my heart, sincerely
Jesse Howell
