Dear Friends and Family,
I’m finally a senior!! I am so excited to experience new things!! I know the next logical step would be to go straight to a 4 year college and pursue a career, however if you know me, you know I don’t always follow logic. I am very much led with my heart and around six months ago my heart was being highly influenced by a voice,,, here’s what it said!!! “Hey Brooke, I know you want to go to college and rush and live the experience but nah, you’re gonna leave the country with 55 people you’ve never met and go and serve me!!” Understandably I was TERRIFIED, I listened to what God said but I tried to store it in the back of my brain and move on. I started to book college tours and research majors. I figured if God really wanted me to do the World Race he could wait till I graduated college. Let me tell you I was WRONG! The life I so desired I couldn’t even imagine anymore, I was wrecked, confused and had no idea what to do next. The calling would not go away and as time went on God gave me peace. The verse that has been put on my heart through this decision is 1 Corinthians 1: 27-29 “God doesn’t call the qualified, he qualifies the called”. I may not have it all together,, or together at all but God does.. ++++ because of that I’m confident!!!
SOOOO,, Next September up until the following May I will be a missionary for Adventures in Missions for their “World Race Gap Year” opportunity!! I will be traveling to four countries with my team of 55 other believers to spread the word of God and act as a light in anyway we can!! We do not have all of our mission details yet but we will be doing things such as: preaching the gospel, planting churches, working in orphanages, ministering to victims of human trafficking, +++ and sharing the overwhelming love and grace of Jesus Christ!! I am SOOO overjoyed about this experience and am fully confident that God will provide EVERYTHING I need for this trip!!
That being said,,, I can’t do this alone!! I am writing to ask you to consider and pray about sponsoring me in my trip! In order to fulfill this calling I have to raise 15,800$! I know God will make this possible through each and every one of you wonderful people! This cost will cover every expense that may occur while I am on the field, as well as transportation to the countries! Contributions can be given as a one time gift or a monthly contribution from now until December of 2019!! If just 100 people donated 25$ for the next six months my goal would be A LOT more attainable!! Any amount would be so very appreciated,, and if you are unable to contribute financially, prayer is just as important if not more!! Please continue to keep me and my AMAZING team in your prayers as we prepare for this journey!!!
Enclosed is a response card and a pre-addressed envelope, if you feel led to give this will make things alot easier!!! Checks have to be payable to Adventures in Missions and returned with the response card to the Adventures in Missions P.O. Box 742570 Atlanta, Georgia 30374-2570.!!!
