Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Thank you so much for taking the time to read my letter. I pray that this finds you well and blesses you greatly.
After graduating from college in 2015, I prayed and sought for God’s direction for my life and my future. While I was enjoying being home and working at my church, I heard a whisper calling me to serve a new community, to leave my comfortable life behind, and serve the Lord in new ways. I began to feel restless for something but had no idea what I was supposed to do or where I was supposed to go. And then I was told about THE WORLD RACE, a mission trip created by Adventures in Missions (AIM). Through prayer and after much consideration, God showed me this was the route I needed to take. I felt God’s call to “go out and make disciples of all nations,” (Matthew 28:19-20), and to be His hands and feet while serving and loving His children.
I am so excited to see God’s work in the next year and a half! I will be leaving in August along with my team, taking only what we need, to serve the lost and broken. We will be traveling to 11 countries over the span of 11 months visiting Serbia, Romania, Bulgaria, Malaysia, Thailand, Laos, South Africa, Lesotho, Madagascar, Jamaica, and the Dominican Republic. We will be helping in a variety of ways such as teaching English, visiting hospitals and orphanages, building homes, and building relationships with the locals we meet. Every country will be different but our mission will be the same: to help those who are in need and to spread the love of Christ to bring Him glory. It is going to be an unforgettable and life changing experience, but in order for this to happen, I need your help.
Will you partner with me on this journey?
Most importantly, I would ask you to pray for me. I want Him to direct my path. Please ask that God will bless my ministry and use it to further His kingdom.
Secondly, if you are moved to help me financially for this mission trip, I need to fundraise $18,017. This will cover all travel expenses, lodging, insurance, and food. It will also go towards our ministry partners in different countries who are a large part of making this trip possible. I do have deadlines, with my first being $5,000 by May! If you feel led to partner with me in this way you can donate by:
