Hello there! I hope this letter finds you well during this uncertain and hectic season of life. Since you are an important and influencing person in my life, I wanted to give you a brief update on what’s going on! As most of you know, I was supposed to travel and do missions work in the Philippines this summer for a month, but due to Covid, that trip was cancelled. Though this experience did not go as planned, my desire to do international missions remained. That being said, I have an incredible opportunity to continue my heart for missions next spring of 2021 in South America for three months! I will be taking a gap semester from my studies at CSU to serve marginalized people groups in Columbia, Ecuador, and Peru.
Through the organization of Adventures in Missions and The World Race, my squad and I will be serving through drug rehabilitation ministry, special needs ministry, and local church outreach in these three countries from January 26 till April 22, 2021. This is a great opportunity for applying my desire to serve and care in places of need, and in obedience to this calling, I will also be growing in my faith and abilities to boldly love through sharing the Gospel. It would be an enormous blessing for you to be involved in my desire for spreading the Gospel and serving the marginalized by providing for this mission trip in any way possible.
Through this, I need your support in one or both of the following ways. Please pray for safety and guidance over the trip as we serve across South America, and please consider supporting me through a financial donation. The fundraising I received from the Philippines trip rolled over to this trip, and I am already halfway done fundraising!
I need to raise approximately $2,200 by January 1st to cover my land & air costs.
If you would like to partner with me, please make checks payable to Adventures in Missions at Adventures in Missions, PO Box 742570, Atlanta, GA, 30374-2570 and fill out the response card as well. The information on the response card allows ADV to send you a receipt for your donation. If you would prefer to make an online donation, you may do so by visiting adventures.org and clicking the donate tab on the right side of the page. A drop-down menu will appear, and you will want to click Giving Homepage and choose the mission trip participant. Please make sure to choose Semesters program in the drop-down menu.
I know that most of you are probably thinking, “What if this trip gets cancelled too?” While that could be a possibility, the fundraising and support going towards this trip can also be rolled over to another future trip or refunded to the donor.
Again, thanks so much for being in my life and for allowing me to share this amazing opportunity with you. Please consider aiding me financially and prayerfully, so that I may spread Gods love and Gospel to these nations. And if you have any questions, advice, or prayer requests please feel free to reach out at [email protected].
Sincerely,
Sydney Campbell
