Family & Friends,
After months of endless praying, the Lord has provided. I have been called to the 2018-2019 Adventures in Missions World Race Gap Year, to serve as the hands and feet of Jesus in third world countries! After spending all of my last year of high school and much of my freshman year of college searching for a purpose in my life, I have learned that my true calling is to serve the Lord, by serving others. This led to the discovery of a new church, new friends and a not-so-new heart for international missions.
The World Race with Adventures in Missions is a nine-month Christian mission Gap Year Program to several continents around the world. I will be on Route Five which goes to Nepal, Guatemala, India, and Swaziland. One of the most amazing things about the World Race Gap Year is that it’s not only a missions trip but also an intensive discipleship program designed to launch my generation into our specific kingdom calling. Through the World Race, my team and I will serve in partnership with churches and ministries in the local communities we will be traveling to and serving. I will be doing everything from assisting in disaster relief, providing counsel to sex-trafficking victims, feeding local residents, teaching English as a second language, and going wherever we are needed. Our main goal is to bring the restorative hope of the Father’s love to every tribe and tongue.
For this to happen, I’m in desperate need of a few things:
-
Prayer. Our God is big, powerful, and so faithful. I would love nothing more than for you to pray for safety, fellowship, and financial support for our team. We’re in need of a prayer army!
-
Donations! I am raising over $15,800 for this mission. This covers food, airfare, housing, transportation, and any other ground expenses. Adventures In Missions is a tax-exempt organization under IRS code 501(c)(3) and is a member of the ECFA. (Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability). If you feel called to partner with my ministry, you can donate via my blog (annalisehite.theworldrace.org), Venmo/Paypal (Annalise Hite), cash, checks (address below, make it out to Annalise Hite), ANYTHING! Anything helps.
-
This will be the most intense, life-changing thing I’ve ever done and I’m looking for ANY bit of advice I can get. If you know someone who’s done long-term missions, or if you have done missions and think I should get in touch with them, shoot me their contact info, I’d love to learn from their experiences.
The Lord has done some pretty amazing things in my life; this being one of them. This is a prayer that has finally been answered. I just want to thank every single one of you in advance for any contributions to my ministries. If you would like to have a more in-depth conversation with me about this journey, I’d love to chat about it, so please don’t hesitate to reach out!
With Grace,
