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.
Since graduating Roswell High School in 2016, I have been searching for the beginning of my next chapter. I have spent countless hours praying for a moment of clarity. I have prayed and sought after God’s direction for my life and future. I began diving into His word more and more. I knew He was calling me to serve Him and spread His love. I’ve always been a “Go Big or Go Home” type of person, so it’s no surprise that He called me to leave my comfortable life and serve the Lord in new ways. Suddenly, I was hearing more and more about the The World Race, a mission trip created by Adventures in Missions (AIM). Through prayer and careful consideration, God showed me this was my righteous calling. I felt His word 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 overwhelmed by His grace and beyond excited to see His work over the next TWO years. I will be leaving in August with my team, taking only what I can carry in two bags, to serve. We will be travelling to 11 countries over the span of 11 months. The countries we will be visiting are Mongolia, China, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda, Romania, Bulgaria, Albania, and Greece. We will be helping in a variety ways such as teaching English, visiting hospitals and orphanages, building homes and creating relationships with those who cross our path. Every country and month will be a different experience but our mission will be the same: to help those in need and to spread the love of Christ and bring Him glory. It is going to be a crazy, challenging, unforgettable and life changing season for me. But in order for me to go through this experience, 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 $19,200. 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 April! If you feel led to partner with me in this way you can donate by:
