Dear friends and family:
For the past four years, I have been attending college at William Jewell. I will graduate in May with a degree in psychology and a minor in non-for profit. After I have completed The World Race, I plan to attend graduate school and get my masters in social work. My hope is to work for a non-profit that caters towards people in need and be their social worker. It has always been obvious to me that I have been blessed with an amazing life and have been given much more than I deserve. With every passing year, I’ve found God continuing to show me how broken the world is and how much people need to experience Him.
The past two summers I have worked at Kanakuk Kamps and I began to feel the Lord asking me to trust him for a longer period of time. I’ve gotten to witness a few people from my past go on The World Race and watching their experiences was amazing. After learning more about the organization and the mission’s program, I felt that God was calling me to serve with Adventures in Missions on The World Race.
The World Race is an 11-month Christian mission trip to 11 countries around the world. One of the unique things about the World Race is that it’s not only a mission trip but also an intensive discipleship program designed to launch my generation into our specific kingdom calling. Through 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 trapped in prostitution because of human trafficking, and bring the restorative hope of the Father’s love to many tribes and nations.
I will face many challenges all throughout the World Race, but as I prepare for my departure, one of my greatest challenges is my financial support. Like most other mission’s organizations, World Race participants are required to fundraise financial support. To leave fully funded on August 4th, 2017, I need to raise $17,617. This money will cover all my field expenses for the 11 months of the trip. As I take this large step of faith in trusting the Lord, would you prayerfully consider joining me with any amount of financial support?
If you feel lead to make a financial donation, you can either write a check out to “Adventures in Missions” and put my name in the memo, donate through my blog at hannahklassen.theworldrace.org, or buy a t-shirt through my GoFundMe page.
I am also looking for a team of people to support me in prayer as well if that if where you feel lead.
Yours in Christ,
Hannah
