Hello my faithful friends and readers!! I have some exciting news: I am going to Kenya!!!! In a little under a month I will be leading a Real Life trip through the World Race to Kijabe, Kenya! I feel so thankful to God for this opportunity. I know that my time at Camp Pecometh this summer has definitely been in preparation for this trip. Early September I will be heading to GA for a few days of training and then the entire Kenya team will fly out from Atlanta. We’ll be there for 2.5 ish months working with African Inland Church. Our time there will most likely involve preaching, teaching, orphanage work, evangelism, relational ministry, etc….whatever God tells us to do! Here is a link to the description available online:

I truly can’t describe how excited I am to be going back to Africa. Whenever I look back on my World Race experience the months that always stick out the strongest are the 3 I spent in Swaziland, Mozambique, and Malawi. God is moving there so much and there is so much need for Him and His TRUTH. My heart beats so fast whenever I think of Africa and this chance to go to Kenya. I know it is God’s next step for me, and that He will grow me even more during this fall!
In order to cover the cost of travel, living, food, everyday expenses/stipend amount, I need to raise approximately $3,000. I currently have just about $1,000- already 1/3!!! But, I still need your help! Please consider supporting for this next adventure. If you are interested click on the Support Me link on the left, chose Support a Racer, put in Hannah Olsen and the amount you wish to donate. If you would prefer to mail in your donation there are instructions via the link as well.
Also, before I leave I need to purchase international health insurance and malaria medication. I honestly do not have enough money in my account for these items. If you would rather support me for these items, please send me a message and I can let you know how that is possible.
And of course, keep me in your prayers!!! Pray that our team will be focused on God and His plans, not our own, and every person involved will have every penny they need for the trip! Thank you all for your continued involvement!! All your comments, messages, and prayers are such an encouragement to me- thank you!
