Exciting Announcement: It is official! I am going on The World Race!!! I will be leaving this January to help others in need around the world, going to 11 countries in 11 months!
Here are some common questions that you might have about The World Race.
Why do you want to go on The World Race?
My story is a story of redemption. God has rescued me and shown me His love for me in so many different ways again and again. He gives me a new hope in Him and takes away my despair. I know I can trust God no matter what.
I want to share this hope and joy and love with other people around the world. I want other people to experience God’s comfort and new life and amazing grace and hope, that only He can give!
God has good things for you too. A hope and a future.
What will you do on The World Race?
I will be going to 11 countries in 11 months! #11n11
We will be traveling to 11 different countries, spending one month in each country and working closely with the people there to help them and show God’s love while spreading the message of hope and redemption that is close to my heart.
We will work on a team partnering with churches and organizations to serve others and meet their needs. This might mean we would work in an orphanage one month and teach English another month or speak hope to prisoners and freedom to those struck in human trafficking.
I will live from a backpack for nearly a year and live in close community. My team and I will build into each other as a team, lifting each other up to our best self we can be. It sounds intense and even a little scary maybe, but I am excited to live the fullest life I can, and to be the best I can.
How will you do this? Doesn’t this cost a lot of money?
I will not be able to do this alone. I need others alongside of me. This means praying for me, (a very important and powerful part of this!) encouraging me by writing a note or commenting on a blog post, telling others about my journey, as well as by committing to give financially.
The amount I need to raise to go this coming January is $16,962.
As of this posting on 8/7/2015, I have $1,826.
The deadline is only 4 months away.
Yes, this is a lot of money. In a short amount of time.
I need your help to be able to do this!
I will be serving others in different countries for nearly a year, living out of a backpack, and doing whatever it takes to show authentic love to others in a way that really makes a difference.
The amount that I am fund-raising covers the basic costs, including airfare, basic food and shelter and money towards ministry costs as well as the required travel insurance which is included. I will be doing a more detailed break-down of the funds in a later post.
I am committed to making this happen and will be leaving in 4 short months.
My goal is to leave fully funded. It’s not impossible, though it might sound like it!
But I need others to step up alongside of me and join me on this journey, whether by praying, being on a support team to make this happen, or by committing to give financially.
How can I help?
Prayer is a powerful and crucial part of sending me on The World Race.
When people pray, God moves.
God listens to our prayers. Please be a prayer warrior for me today!
I will be praying for you, my readers, and support team as well, as we are going on this journey around the world together.
Please contact me if you would like to be a part of my prayer team while I am preparing for The World Race and while I am on the Race as well. You can send me a message through the website, through the Contact tab on the left hand side of the page or by commenting below.
(Prayer is connecting to God and talking to Him. If you are new at prayer, or need a renewal in your prayer relationship with God, start by thanking God for the good things. Then talk to Him like you would a friend. Then spend a few minutes just listening, also like you would give time to your friend.)
Please consider giving what you are able to if you would like to support me in this journey which will change many lives and make a difference around the world!
In honor of the 11 countries in 11 months I will be going to, please prayerfully consider giving $11, or in multiples of $11 to get this started: ($22, $33, $44, $55, $77, $99, $110, $121, $143, $154, $176, $187, $220, $330, $440, $550, $660, $770 or higher if you are able to.)
(Maybe you are blessed and are able to give an extra generous amount of $1100 or more in keeping with the theme of 11 in 11. If that is you, please pray and ask God and don’t hesitate, He will bless you for this and provides all your needs as well, whatever amount you are able to give will go a long way and is much appreciated!)
Your gift is needed now so I can meet my deadline to be fully funded by January! I would like to challenge you to give the highest amount you are able to give, if you feel led to do so in helping me to reach my goal. I appreciate any size gift, big or small, as it is ALL needed! The easiest way to give is to click on the “Support Me” tab at the top of the page or by clicking here. You can also see the progress of how far I am with fund-raising!
You can also send a check, made payable to “Adventures in Missions,” and please be sure to put my name, Jennifer Silverman, in the memo line, so they know it’s for me, very important! Thank you!

If you are able to commit monthly, that would be the backbone of my support and is much needed. Consistent, monthly support will get me that much faster to my goal! Please consider giving $11, $25, $50, $111 or whatever amount you are able to give monthly. Again, this will go such a long way and is very much needed so I can go and serve to make a difference for orphans, children, widows, women, and others who need our help around the world.
A one time gift of any amount that you are able to give is a HUGE help as well.
