Dear Family and Friends!
It is my third month on my World Race journey and what a journey it has been so far! I am so excited to share the numerous stories I’ve racked up with friends and family when I see you again.
They range from hilarious accidents, awkward situations, light-hearted conversations, learning, growing and changing in ways I never imagined, and most importantly, stories about what God has been doing in so many beautiful lives and in mine all over the world!
The Lord still has so much in store for me through this mission & I have put my trust & faith in Him that He absolutely has me here for a powerful reason. Because of this, I am in need of your help!
In case you are wondering how exactly past donations have been used, we want to share with you some of the things we’ve been able to do and witness these past 77 days for God’s glory and His Kingdom:
Month One: Santiago, Chile
We worked with Iglesias Bautista La Castrina with Pastor Nelson, His wife Pati and son Benjamin.
– Building relationships with families in the church and showing Christ’s love.
-Home visits to the sick, hurting, and lonely of the community. Sharing songs and testimonies with the people.
-Praying healing over the people we met and visted.
-Leading women’s bible study each week.
-Performing a Spanish song & dance for members of the church. It was called to Quacka (the national dance of Chile)
Month Two: Mendoza, Argentina
This was all squad month so I was with my entire squad of 50 people not just my team of 7. We worked at a YWAM BASE! YWAM stands for youth with a mission and they have bases all over the world.
– Prayer walks around the community and base.
– Visited local churches, gave testimonies,lead worship and preached.
– Worked a marriage conference.
– Held a spa day for the women and pastors wives in the community.
– Manual labor/maintenance at the YWAM base.
– Restored YWAM’s rope course & assisted with leading kids through the rope’s courses.
Month 3: Uyuni, Bolivia
We are working with an Assemblies of God church; with Pastor Rolando, His wife Abigail and his three children!
– We lead all four services during the week. Preaching, worship and prayer and testimonies.
– Women’s practical skills classes on Wednesdays. Hair cutting, CPR/ First Aid, and Photography 101
– Leading and participating in prayer meetings on Thursdays
– Manaul Labor in the mornings sanding the new church building they are renovating.
– Teaching Sunday school to kids
– Hosting a kids Christmas party for over 85 kids!
*These examples are just glimpses of the types of ministries I’ve been doing. Future ministries this year could involve serving in orphanages, ministering to street kids, working with victims of sex trafficking as we enter into Asia next month, ministering in a mission development center teaching english to students and teachers!
As we are in this Christmas season of giving, I am stepping out in faith in asking that you would prayerfully consider donating to my mission.

I know the craziness that Christmas can bring but I hope that you are able to find rest in this busy season and reflect REAL meaning of Christmas Jesus Christ coming, our Savior of the world, and the ways in which He relentlessly pursues you.
Getting accepted to the World Race was a dream come true three years coming! But the fact of raising $18,000 was a bit alarming! In my mind I was thinking how in the World was I going to raise all of this money? That’s the thing… I didn’t raise any of the money to get me here the Lord did. My mentor reminded me of a quote God doesn’t call the equipped He equips the called! Jesus called me to the World Race and He is going to provide the finances so I can stay!
I am currently at a total of $11,733 through the gracious generosity of so many loving supporters who believe in this mission as much as we do. Our very last fundraising goal is on January 31, 2018, which means by that date, we need to be FULLY FUNDED which is $18,000 to be able to stay on the field! That means I only have $6,000 left to raise & I am confident that this goal will be met.
