Dear Friends,

I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to you to share some of the things that have been happening in my life lately. I have been going to Puerto Palomas, Mexico as a missionary/volunteer for a little over two years now. Mission work has always been a passion of mine ever since I became a follower of Christ. I love leaving my daily routine of 9-5 and stepping into a world where anything can happen. I get humbled every single time I go to Mexico, my problems seem so small and insignificant compared to the problems other people face daily. We take for granted how truly blessed we are here in America. I am happy to share that God has called me to missions in a different, exciting and faith-stretching way!

I will serve as a missionary through an organization called, Adventures in Missions, in their World Race program. The World Race is a Christian mission trip where we will be going to 11 countries in 11 months! I will be going to Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, South Africa, Swaziland, Mozambique, Thailand, Myanmar, Malaysia, and the Philippines. On the World Race, my team and I will be working with local churches in spreading the Gospel, working in orphanages, ministering to women and children who are victims of human trafficking, and sharing hope and God's unconditional love for all of his children. "He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation." Mark 16:15.

I am so incredibly blessed and grateful to be given such an amazing opportunity, and I am confident that this trip and all my finances are in His hands. I am writing to ask for you to partner with me through prayer and, if God puts it in your heart, financially as well. I must raise $16,285 in order to go on the World Race. I am blessed to have a job, and I am doing the best I can to save, but I can't do it alone. Financial support can be given as a one-time gift or as a monthly donation. If 30 people were to pledge approximately $45 a month, I would have close to 100% of my trip paid for!

With this letter, I have enclosed a response card, inviting you to share in this ministry. Please make checks payable to Adventures in Missions and return the response card with your donation to Adventures in Missions, PO Box 534470, Atlanta GA, 30353-4470. The response card will provide AIM with the information necessary to send you a receipt for your donation. If you prefer to make your donation online, you may do so by visiting my blog site at: heidiaguirre.theworldrace.org. Click the "Support Me" link in the upper left side of the page to complete your donation as instructed

Words cannot describe how truly blessed I feel to be given the opportunity to go on this trip. I am excited to see all the different ways God will move in all of our lives as we experience this live changing adventure. It would be an honor to go as your representative to bring Jesus Christ to all the nations around the world. I want to thank you in advance and hope you will keep me in your prayers as well. God bless you.

Love,

                          Heidi
