So stoked to announce that in August, I will be embarking on an 11-month mission trip! I will travel to Spain, N. Africa, Cyprus, the Middle East, Armenia, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, and China.
These countries are located in the 10/40 Window, which is a rectangular-shaped area on the globe, extending from West Africa to East Asia, from approximately 10 degrees to 40 degrees north of the equator. This part of the eastern hemisphere is home to the highest concentration of unreached people in the world with the least access to the Christian message. The Window encompasses the majority of the world’s Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, animists, and non-religious, as well as the majority of the world’s poor. Billions of people in the 10/40 Window have never had the opportunity to hear the gospel, not even once.
The image below is a freehand approximation I did of the Window:
The mission is to rain love down on everyone we come across, while sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ. We will be building community and connecting with people, while meeting physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. The World Race YouTube channel shares spectacular stories of the miraculous things God has done through groups on previous trips, including instant healing of sickness and disease through prayer, and planting a church in a park in Myanmar, among so many other wonderful things. Check it out here.
There are so many people out there who are hurting and who have no hope. Our team is going to do its best to bring light into their lives and bring God’s Kingdom to them in any way we can. That may be through construction projects, cooking meals for the hungry, helping the displaced in a refugee camp, teaching English, working in a local clinic or orphanage, ministering to women and children trapped in prostitution as a result of human trafficking, and so much more.
I will strive to write weekly blog posts while on this journey, which will include photos, videos, stories, and whatever is on my heart.
If you feel compelled to help me share the gospel in these unreached countries, let’s partner up and make it happen! I need your help to raise $18,700. This amount is strictly for funds to pay for the program and ministry expenses; it is NOT personal money for me. As I take this large step of faith in trusting the Lord, would you prayerfully consider supporting me at $100 monthly, or another monthly amount? Donations are 100% tax deductible!
Together, we can fulfill the Great Commission spoken by Jesus to his disciples:
God authorized and commanded me to commission you: Go out and train everyone you meet, far and near, in this way of life, marking them by baptism in the threefold name: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Then instruct them in the practice of all I have commanded you. I’ll be with you as you do this, day after day after day, right up to the end of the age (Matthew 28:18-20, MSG).
I hope you will consider sponsoring me! Please continuously pray for me and my team, as well. Thank you so much!
