Hi Everyone!! I wanted to upload my sponsor letter so you all can receive an overview of this journey I’m about to embark on!
Dear Friends and Family,
I hope this letter finds you well! As many of you know, after I graduated from college in May 2016, I moved to Nashville to work on the business side of the music industry. I realize now that God had a very different reason for my move to Nashville! Not long after moving I found a church that I’ve come to love so much, called The Village Chapel. I became involved with the Children’s Ministry, a women’s bible study, a small group, and a young adult ministry class. Most importantly, my relationship with the Lord has grown immensely. Through developing a closer relationship with God, I began to realize He was changing me a lot. One of the most significant changes in my life was what I wanted to do with my life, specifically career wise. God showed me that He was calling me into a ministry position. I wasn’t sure exactly what this would look like, but I trusted the Lord would eventually show me.
Over the past year, I’ve worked at a Talent Agency in the music industry. I’ve continued to grow in my walk with the Lord, doing my best to wait patiently for what God had for me next. I had some opportunities come and go, but none I felt great about. Fast forward to a few weeks ago while I was at bible study, I heard about a program called the World Race (which is why I’m writing this letter to you). The World Race is an 11 month, 11 country mission trip and discipleship program. I will be leaving in October to go to Belize, Honduras, El Salvador, Vietnam, Cambodia, Albania, Serbia, Romania, Ethiopia, Uganda, and Rwanda. I will be doing things such as serving the poor, loving on orphans, building homes, teaching English, and building relationships with locals. Most importantly, I will be spreading the love and hope of Jesus to people from all of these countries. Although I understand there will be many challenges ahead, I’ve never felt such peace and joy about something like I do about the World Race. In order to make this a reality, I need your help.
First off, I genuinely would love as much prayer support as possible. Pray that God will show me how He wants me serve each person I come in contact with. Please pray that God will direct my path and bless the ministry I will be a part of.
Secondly, please prayerfully consider supporting me financially. I need to raise $18,700.00, which will cover the cost of all food, lodging, Mission Safe medical insurance, air, land and sea travel. Specifically, I need to have $5,000.00 raised by July 20, $10,000.00 raised by September 21, $13,000.00 raised by November 30, and the total amount ($18,700.00) raised by January 31. Below are possible ways you can donate.
- Donations may be made by check, money order, credit card, bank transfer, or EFT (Dynapay).
- Check/Money Order – must be made payable to Adventures in Missions with the person’s name in the memo line. Mail to: Adventures in Missions, PO Box 742570, Atlanta, GA 30374-2570.?Please mail only one check per envelope, as checks are processed mechanically.

Thank you very much for your thoughts and prayers. Please pray for peace for my family and for them not to worry about me while I’m away. Pray that my team (there’s about 40 of us going together) will form good relationships and that will be able to serve the Lord well together. Please pray for the hearts of the people that we will meet in each country. I pray and hope that you will join me in serving the Lord’s people. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me at (717) 799-9609 or at [email protected].
