Wow. Thank you SO MUCH for all of your financial support so far!! I have been blown away by your generosity over these past few weeks, and I feel so incredibly blessed by my army of Senders. You are awesome. To my anonymous donors, please accept this post as my Thank You. God truly provides.
I am being sent out into the mission field in January so that some of the least reached areas of the world may know the love of the Father, and your donations have made this possible. My team and I will be serving in Australia, Indonesia, Malaysia, India, Nepal, China, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkey, Spain, and Morocco. I am so stoked to share the amazing good news that Jesus Christ died for us, and that He offers us undeserved grace and forgiveness in order to give us a second chance in life.
God has taken me on an incredible journey since I became Christian in college. I didn’t grow up in a Christian household, and God was the last thing on my mind when I entered college, but God pursued me and revealed to me that the void I had been trying to fill in my life with other idols (money, career, romance) was a void that only He could satisfy. Everything that I attain in this world is at best fleeting, but God is the one constant (Hebrews 13:8). Through the ups and downs of life, I’ve grown more in my understanding of God’s love and grace, as well as my identity as a sinner saved by Christ’s sacrifice on the cross. Thank goodness I am saved by grace alone, because I could never do enough good to outweigh the bad in my life. God has changed my life from one of selfish ambition to a life where I now see that what’s more important than obtaining six-figure salaries, picture-perfect families and white picket fence houses is the work still left to be done to save souls. That is something that I look forward to doing over and over again on the World Race, and long after I come back from the mission trip as well.
In addition to financial support, I would not be able to do this without prayer support to battle my anxieties. Spiritual warfare is real, and Satan will stop at nothing to deter us from reaching the unreached. Please pray for safety as my team and I travel from country to country, and for all necessary visas to be approved. Please pray for hearts to be open to the Gospel, for people that we meet to be spiritually hungry, and for me to be bold and take advantage of every moment that I have to point people to Christ. Please pray for my friends and family at home, especially those whom I’ve been sharing the Gospel with, that they may see the transformative power of the Gospel through my life and my decision to serve Him on this mission trip.
I will be heading out to Training Camp in Georgia in a couple of weeks, and I’m so excited to meet the rest of my team and my coaches! Only 100 days until our Expedition Route launches…let the countdown begin!!
“For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.” Ephesians 2:8-9
