Hey guys, my guess is you watched the video Crosspoint posted. And to Crosspoint I am so thankful you would post this video for all of your social media followers to see.
Thank all of you guys for being more interested in my story and my mission. My name is Liz. I grew up in Mississippi and after graduating from Ole Miss, I moved to Nashville. Nashville is the place where God started really moving in my heart. He reminded me of who I really am, and He enabled my transformation into the woman He is calling me to be. After I finally got confident in my relationship with God, He showed me what He really wanted me to do. He wanted me to deny myself and follow Him and make disciples of all the nations.
Okay, so how, you may wonder? Well, He asked me to go on the World Race. The world race is an 11 month mission trip to 11 different countries all over the world. I will be on a team with 6-7 other young adults. We will be sharing the gospel of Jesus with all the people we come in contact with. The only way we will be able to do this is to submit to the will of God and I have no clue what this will look like. I am sure in each place it will look different. Teams from the past have worked in orphanages, worked with prostitutes, door to door evangelized, planted churches, fed the poor, and so much more. We will be doing anything we feel God calling us to do in order to serve “the least of these.”
If you want to learn more about how I decided to go on such a mission trip, check out this blog.
As you can probably guess, this trip is not cheap. It costs around $15,000 for each person to go, so right now I am trying to bring awareness for the need of a trip like this and hopefully raise some financial support. If you feel led to give in any way, here are a few ways in which you can do that:
1. Prayer, I need prayer warriors. Anyone that is willing to pray, thank you. I would love to hear from you as well and I would love to pray for you. Click here and send me a message and I will make sure to keep you up to date on how your prayer is working.
2. T-shirts. Thanks to FundtheNations, I am selling t-shirts. They are $20 each and look like this:
If you want one click here and it will explain how to put your name on the google doc and how to pay for it.
3. Threads of hope. I am selling bracelets like the one’s below:
I am selling them for $2 each or 3 for $5. I am super excited about this fundraiser because 50% of the money I raise gets sent to the women of the Philippines who made these bracelets. If you want to learn more about this program check out their website. If you want to purchase some send me a private message here.
4. Yard Sale: I am trying to put together a yard sale to make some extra funds for the trip. I don’t have lots of stuff, but I am selling what I can. Also, if you would be willing to donate stuff to sell, that would be great. You can send me a message by clicking here to let me know if you can donate or want to volunteer to help. I am trying to do it the last weekend of July.
If you don’t want to participate in any of these fundraisers and just want to pray for me, you are awesome! If you don't want to buy a shirt or bracelets and just want to financially give, that is awesome as well. Thank you. You can do so by clicking here. I would be so honored to have you partner with me.
Also, supporter or not, I would love to have you all following along for the journey. If you want an email when my blog gets updated click here and type in your email address so you will get an update every time I post. That is going to be the easiest way to keep up with what is going on while our team is abroad.
Thank you so much for reading this blog,
Love you all bc I was first loved by Him! 🙂
Have an awesome day!
Liz
And I will leave you with my theme song for the trip.
