Dear Family and Friends,
I am writing to share what the Lord is doing in my life. In November, He laid the burden on my heart of being more involved in missions and it was the weekend prior to Thanksgiving He revealed to me the specific plan, His plan! His plan for my involvement in missions is the World Race with Adventures in Missions. During this trip I will visit 11 countries in 11 months. I plan to leave July 2013 and return May 2014. My route will be: Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, South Africa, Mozambique, Swaziland, Nepal, India, Turkey, Bulgaria, and Romania.
I will travel with a squad of around 50 men and women to each location. Then we will break up into smaller teams of 5-8 people where we will partner with a local contact and work alongside their ministry. We will have the opportunity to hug the orphan, love on the widow, tell the prostitute she is beautifully made, and most importantly spread the name of Jesus Christ throughout the nations. This great opportunity to be able to see God working throughout the most remote parts of the world only comes once in a lifetime. Only with the gifts and prayers of God’s people will this journey on the World Race be possible. I need you!
In order to embark on this next step on my spiritual journey and share the gospel in 11 different countries I need to raise $15,500.00. This can be made possible through one-time donations or monthly support. If only 5 people committed to $100/month for 11 months, 25 people gave $30/month for 11 months, and 7 one-time gifts of $250 were made then I would be fully funded! Please prayerfully consider joining me in this journey across the world. I need to have $3,500.00 by Training Camp in May, $6,500.00 by launch in July, and fully funded by month 6. None of it will be possible without you. You may donate online at michellemcpherson.theworldrace.org (click on the “Support Me” tab on the left), or send it directly to AIM at P.O. Box 534470, Atlanta, GA 30353-4470 (a support card is included in this envelope with all the information). In addition, please consider praying for me as I prepare for the World Race.
Throughout my journey I want to keep my supporters informed on how God is growing His kingdom and me. One way is through my blog, and I would love for all of you to follow the stories throughout the 11 months. All you have to do is go to michellemcpherson.theworldrace.org and type your e-mail address in the space designated “Subscribe for Blog Updates” then click “Subscribe”. I am excited to share this journey with each of you.
In His Name,
Michelle McPherson
