In December 2015 God started changing my heart in an incredible and extraordinary way. He lead me to Guatemala where I got to spend time with more of His amazing people and share the love of Christ wherever my squad and I went. It was there that certain doors were beginning to open in my heart. The families I met, the orphans I got to hold and the hungry and homeless that I got to help feed were what started a new calling in my life.
–Some pictures of my trip to Guatemala are posted below!– 🙂
God brought me to Guatemala and He is now bringing me on another journey. He has put a burning in my heart to serve in the mission field for Him and help expand His Kingdom all around the world! In January 2017 I’ll be going on the World Race which is an 11 month mission trip to 11 different countries. On this journey I’ll be traveling with 55 other racers and will be going to the following places;
Mozambique
Swaziland
Madagascar
Mongolia
China
Bangladesh
India
Nepal
Costa Rica
Nicaragua
El Salvador
It is in these places that we will teach about God’s love, mercy, grace, and forgiveness. Our squad will provide a variety of outreach including the following; With God’s guidance and protection we will visit and comfort widows in their times of distress, protect the innocent who are prey to human traffickers, tend to the sick, elderly and homeless, reach out to those still searching, and help feed and care for the orphans who have grown up without knowing the love of a parent. We’ll also team up with local churches to encourage believers and help families who get by each day by scrounging scraps from the city dump where they have made their homes.
As you can imagine, raising support for this trip is going to be one of my largest steps of faith as I am trusting that He will provide the funds for me. If it is put on heart to go on this journey with me whether it is by keeping me in your prayers, encouragement, and/or financially supporting me I’d love to ask you to partner with me on this. No gift is to small! I will need to raise a total of $17,417 for the trip which will cover my housing, food, and also help out the community for the 11 months. I’ll also need to raise additional funds for airfare and training camp which is in October in Georgia. The easiest way to donate will be at the top of my blog!
My deadlines are listed below to give you an idea of the funds I will need.
$5,000 – Due 9/23/2016 (Fundraising Goal 1)
$10,000 – Due 12/16/2016 (Fundraising Goal 2)
$13,000 – Due 2/28/2017 (Fundraising Goal 3)
$17,417 – Due 4/30/2017 (Fundraising Goal 4)
Thank you all for taking the time to check out my blog and support me as I go on an adventure for the Lord. I’ll be blogging often to keep you all updated on how everything is coming along before my trip as well as what my squad and I will be doing as we travel from country to country. I appreciate and love you all more than words can describe!
