Family and friends,
I hope this letter finds you well! I have some fantastic news. I just graduated Cum laude from Saint Leo University with a Bachelors in Religion. Now, in January of 2018, I will be going on the adventure of a lifetime! As many of you know, I have been serving for the past two years in the Parrish, Bradenton, and Sarasota communities working closely with youth ministries. My relationship with the Lord is at a place that it has never been, and I am excited to serve Him in new ways.
I have been blessed with an opportunity to serve as a missionary in an 11-month program called the World Race through Adventures in Missions. The World Race is a Christian mission trip to 11 different countries around the world including Haiti, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, India, Nepal, Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia, Ethiopia, Rwanda, Uganda. On the World Race, my team and I will serve in partnership with churches and ministries in local communities to preach the Gospel, plant churches, work in orphanages, minister to women and children who are trapped in prostitution as a result of human trafficking, and bring the restoration and hope of the Father’s love to many tribes and nations.
I am so grateful for this opportunity that God has given me, and have every confidence that He will provide for my needs! Ultimately, my prayer is that He will do that through you. I am writing to you to ask if you would consider partnering prayerfully and financially with me in my ministry. I must raise $18,000 to go on the World Race, which covers all my expenses on the field. $10,000 of which is due by August 1, 2017.
Financial support can be given in a few ways. You can give electronically by visiting my blog at chandlerwhidden.theworldrace.org and clicking the “Donate/Support” tab. Support can also be given by sending check or money order via the pre-addressed envelope provided. Checks can be made payable to Adventures in Mission with WhiddenChandler in the memo line. Donations can be given as a one-time gift or on a monthly basis. Please enclose fundraising card provided with a check. Your support in prayer would be most appreciated. Pray for trust in God and His provision and faith in His plan. Follow my blog for updates and prayer request! May God bless you as you prayerfully consider partnering with me in this ministry.
Joyfully,
Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I. Send me!”
-Isaiah 6:8
