Support

In May I will be an alum of NC State, I can hardly believe it. The past four years have gone so quickly, but during that time God has drawn me closer to Him while also breaking my heart for people in Raleigh and around the world who have not experienced His love. I have had the privilege of working as a college ministries intern and with children in a low income community representing many diverse cultures near NC State during college. These opportunities have given me a glimpse of the many different forms sharing the Gospel and God’s love can take.  With graduation approaching, I am excited to share with you that He is calling me into missions!

I will be serving as a missionary through an organization, Adventures in Missions, through their World Race.  The World Race is an 11-month Christian mission trip to 11 different countries around the world. On the World Race, my team and I will serve in partnership with churches and ministries in local communities 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, and bring the restoration and hope of the Father’s love to many tribes and people of the world.

I am so grateful for this opportunity that God has given me, and trust that He will provide for my needs!  Ultimately, my prayer is that He will do that through you.  I am writing to you to ask if you would consider partnering prayerfully and financially with me in my ministry. I must raise $15,500 in order to go on the World Race, which covers all of my expenses on the field.  This financial support can be given as a one-time gift or as a monthly donation, wherein you choose the amount and beginning and end date.  If 25 people pledge $52 a month for 12 months, I would have 100 percent of the funds necessary for my trip.  

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 information necessary to send
you a receipt for your donation.  If you would prefer to make your donation online, you
may do so by visiting my blog site at : lenaownbey.theworldrace.org.  Just click the
“Support Me” link in the upper left side of the page and complete your donation as
instructed. Also, I would love for you to follow my blog as I post about what God is teaching me and what is happening in my life during my time away!

I am so excited to see how God works in my life, as well as others in the next year. I pray to not only be a blessing to those that I serve, but also to you. I would be honored to partner with you in taking the good news of Christ to nations around the world. I would like to thank you in advance for your prayers and financial support. May God bless you as you prayerfully consider partnering with me in this ministry!
