With only a 14 days before we step onto a plane in Atlanta, I thought I should send out one last blog post from the United States. The next time you hear from me, I will be in India!!!
Truly grateful and blessed is an understatement for the way I feel right now, I’m still trying to figure out how God placed so many incredible people in my life to make this happen. THANK YOU to everyone who has supported me both financially and prayerfully. It is because of your generosity and faithfulness that I am able to launch and follow God’s calling to bring the Kingdom around the world.
Here are a few final updates:
I will be meeting my squad in Atlanta for launch, which is January 7th-January 10th. During this time, we will finish up our training for the upcoming year, have the opportunity to have our parents sit in on some sessions, and finally say goodbye to our families as we leave. Then January 11th we board our plane to India!
I have the amazing opportunity to serve alongside six beautiful women and our team name is Ahava Chara. Ahava means love in Hebrew and Chara means joyous in Greek; we wanted to pay respects to our roots with still honoring the heart of Jesus. We have said ‘Yes’ to this journey with the responsibility to love the Nations and bring the Good News, which is how we landed on Joyous Love! Since Hebrew is read from right to left so we have written our team name. Below is a little screenshot of each team member and where they are from. We will serve together for the first four months of the World Race!
I will be off of social media for the entirety of the World Race as I seek to create space for God and stay focused on where He has called me. I will be posting my blog updates to Facebook through my blog forum, but encourage you to hit SUBSCRIBE and follow my blog directly! 
Email will be the best way to stay in contact with me over these next 11 months. I would love to stay in contact with each one of you on a more personal level than just my blog, so please send me emails!!! My email address is: [email protected]
I am $6,917 away from being FULLY FUNDED. Since I leave so soon, I have to truly surrender this final amount up to God and trust that He will provide it…I know He already has! I am still looking for supporters, so if you are looking to make a year end giving or just simply want to donate, I encourage and ask you to please donate towards my World Race.
Thank you all for reading my blog thus far! Please keep my squad in your prayers as we finish everything up, say our goodbyes, and travel to Atlanta and then India!
Until next time (India!!!), may you all be richly blessed and have a wonderful rest of your holiday season with family and friends!
Love,
Jessica
