Dear Family and Friends,
Hello! For the past four years, I have spent my days going to school, playing sports, hanging out with friends, and attending church. Now, it is time for me to graduate high school and begin my future. Recently, I have struggled with the hefty decisions of what college to go and what to do with the rest of my life. But, graciously, God opened the door for me to follow a passion of mine. I have been interested in missions work, since the age of 9 and today, I am excited to tell you that I will be serving with Adventure in Missions on the World Race.
The World Race: Gap Year is a 9 month Christian mission trip to 3 different countries around the world. The countries I am headed to are El Salvador, Malawi, and the Philippines. 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 calling for the kingdom. Through the World Race, my squad 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 as a result of human trafficking, and bring 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 departure, one of the greatest hurdles is my financial support. Like most other mission organizations, World Race participants are required to fundraise. In order to leave fully funded in the beginning of September, I need to raise $12, 491. This money will cover all of my field expenses for the 9 months of the trip. As I take this large step of faith in trusting the Lord, would you prayerfully consider joining me financially with any amount you feel led to give? You can sponsor me with a one time gift, or sign up to give monthly on my blog (kaelakreis.theworldrace.org) by clicking the “support me” tab. If you would wish to send in your contribution as a check, please send it with the support card included in this envelope to the address given on the card. This way, the faculty at Adventures in Missions will know your donation is for me.
Being able to travel the world, help others, and spread the Good News is a dream come true. I thank you for your love and support through prayer or donations. If you have any questions or just want to talk, feel free to contact me through my email [email protected] or phone 815-302-1949.
God bless,
Kaela Kreis
