Dear Church Family,
Whether you’re in Oklahoma, Iowa, or Georgia, this is for you.
First, I want to thank you. I’ve been so blessed to have so many people that care for, encourage, and support me. Growing up, you guys have been such good examples of how Christians should live and the quality of people that you are. Without your influence, my life would not be where it is at now. Without the love you have shown me, I wouldn’t have had the courage to move over 8 hours away from my family, been able to go to Bible school to learn and grow in Christ, or be preparing to leave for a year to do missions work. You guys are my launching pad.
I also want to encourage you all. In whatever season of life you’re in, God is there with you. If you’re frustrated, discouraged, or unsure of the current situation in your life, God is working in it. You may not be where you think you should be, but you’re doing way better than you realize. Take a moment. Pause. Breathe. Think of all the times God has shown his goodness in your life. Take a moment to get your mind off the chaos of this world and look at God. If life is going well, praise God.
Life seems to be flying by. There are so many places to go and things to do; it can be easy to get caught up in it. I wanted to take a moment to genuinely appreciate the people God has blessed me with. You guys have been monumental in helping me to follow the call on my life. You guys have been so encouraging as I take this next step into the World Race. Instead of wishing I were already on the race, I’m appreciating the time I get to soak up the amazing people God has placed me with. Wherever I go, you guys will always be with me.
Love you guys so much!
Allison

A few updates:
– I’m over 30% funded! Praise God! However, I still have over $11,000 still to go.
– I’ve started selling t-shirts (see at the bottom of the page!) They say “Take the message. Change the World.” If you’re interested, they are $20 with an extra $5 for shipping. There is a crew neck and v-neck option.
– I’m still selling squares! If you adopt a square over $30, I’ll give you a t-shirt as well! This is where we are at:
