Dear Friends and Family,
In August 2009, God called me to a life-altering adventure called The World Race. After returning home in June 2010, I was ready to go back to Africa, but God had another plan for me. He called me to go back to school and move to Medina, Ohio where The Alonzo’s, leaders from my trip had started a ministry house. For the past 8 months I have been living in community while attending school to become a surgical assistant. The Lord called me here for a very specific purpose and His provision and faithfulness has been amazing.
Summer is fast approaching and I have been given an opportunity to lead a trip for the same organization The World Race is a part of, Adventure in Missions. Real Life is a program for college age students who desire to make God known throughout the nations. This program allows them experience serving the Lord in another country. As of now, it has yet to be determined what country I will be serving in. Summer programs include ministries in Kenya, Nicaragua, New Zealand and India. I probably won’t know what country I’ll be serving in for at least another month as AIM works to line up leaders and students for each trip.
However, I need to raise $1,500 to lead a trip this summer. This amount covers day-to-day living and ministry costs, as well as other costs associated with traveling internationally. Last year, the Lord provided $13,800 for me to serve on The World Race, so I walk in confidence that the Lord will provide for this trip as well.
If you would like to participate in this journey with me I have enclosed a response card and pre-addressed envelope, inviting you to share in this ministry. Please make checks payable to Adventures In Missions and return the response card with your donation to: Adventures In Missions, PO Box 534470, Atlanta, GA, 30353-4470.
The response card will provide AIM with the necessary information to send you a receipt for your donation. If you’d prefer to make your donation online, you may do so by visiting my blog site and clicking on the “Support Me” link of the left side of the page at www.katiewest.theworldrace.org.
I’m excited to see how God will move in my life and in the lives of others this summer. I hope not only to be a blessing to those I serve, but also to you. Thank you in advance for your prayers and financial support. May God bless you as you prayerfully consider partnering with me in this journey to bring His Kingdom to earth as it is in Heaven.
Blessings,
Katie West
