The Lord directs our steps, so why try to understand along the way?” –Proverbs 20:24
Greetings Family and Friends!
You may be surprised to learn that there are radical changes on the horizon for my life. GOD has an exciting plan for my 2009. It is an 11-month mission trip called The World Race.
The World Race is one of many mission trips run by an organization called Adventures in Missions (AIM). The World Race sends young adults to 11 countries in 11 months. We are split into teams of 5-8 individuals and travel the world spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ to people all over the globe to fulfill the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20). Each month we will be doing different types of ministries from caring for orphans and homeless to church planting and disaster relief while evangelizing all along the way. We will be vessels of Christ’s love across the nations.
I will be leaving in January of 2009. I know this trip will allow me to help others to strengthen or develop their relationship with GOD, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. It will allow me the chance to step 100% out on faith to rely on GOD to provide for ALL my spiritual, physical, and financial needs. I truly believe I will fall in love with Jesus in 2009. Ultimately, this 11-month experience with The World Race will be nothing short of life changing, and I would love for you to be a part of it!
There are several ways you can contribute. My team and I will need prayer support for safe travels, good health, effectiveness in ministry, and spiritual strength, guidance, and growth. We will need financial support as well. I need to raise $14,000 for the year. This amount covers air, land, and sea travel as well as food and lodging. I will also need to raise funds to cover visas, vaccinations, international medical insurance, and supplies (tent, sleeping bag, backpack, etc). My goal is to raise $16,000 so that all costs are covered.
Although it may sound impossible, if 10 people give $160 per month for ten months or 20 people give $80 per month for ten months, or 60 people gave $45 per month for six months, I would have enough. Whether you are able and prefer to give a one-time donation or a monthly contribution, all contributions, prayer and financial, are a truly a blessing and graciously accepted.

You will be able to see what is going on in my life prior to departure and throughout the duration of the trip by clicking on http://ericatalley.theworldrace.org/ Proverbs Proverbs 20:24 states The Lord directs our steps, so why try to understand along the way? When I first heard about the World Race I tried to ignore GOD’s calling but GOD was persistent and through dreams, revelations, testimonies and prayer I finally submitted to GOD’s will and applied for the World Race. He has been strengthening my spiritual gifts of prayer and dream interpretation and is helping me to step out of my comfort zone and step into the missions field to that I can learn to live completely for Him. I long for the full life and adventure that God has in store for me. I know He has great plans for this ministry. Many lives will be touched and I can’t wait to be a part of what God is doing. Please partner with me in this ministry to share the message of Christ to our hurting world.
Please share this with your friends, family, church and business. I need all the prayer and support I can get. Thank you in advance for your prayers and financial support. If you have any questions at all or would be interested in hearing more about this incredible adventure, please call me (267) 970-1614 or email me at [email protected].
Thank you,
Erica Talley
