To my friends and family, both future and present,
Hello!
I hope this letter finds you doing well.
I am thankful for this opportunity to share what’s been going on in my
life lately. As some of you may know,
missions have been something that has been on my heart since I was a little
girl. As a teenager I was blessed with opportunities to ‘go out into all the
world and preach the gospel’ in North Carolina, and later Mexico. Those times
were very dear to me in furthering my burden for those less fortunate than I
am. I have recently been given the
opportunity to go on a mission trip called the World Race, a program under
Adventures in Missions (AIM). I truly
feel that this is where the Lord is calling me – to live a life that is not
about me and about being comfortable. As
God’s chosen, blessed sons and daughters, we are expected to do something large
enough that failure is guaranteed… unless God steps in.
The
World Race is an 11 month long mission trip to 11 different countries. My journey will begin in January 2013. We
will be going to Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Ukraine, Romania, South Africa,
Swaziland, Mozambique, Thailand, Cambodia, and Malaysia. On
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 who are trapped in prostitution as a
result of human trafficking, and bring the restoration and hope of the Father’s
love to many tribes and nations.
I am so
grateful for this opportunity that God has given me, and have every confidence
that He will provide for my needs!
Ultimately, my prayer is that He will do that through you. I am writing to you to ask if you would
consider partnering prayerfully and financially with me in my ministry. I must
raise $16,000 in order to go on the World Race, which covers all of my expenses
on the field. This financial support can
be given as a one-time gift or as monthly donation, wherein you choose the
amount and beginning and end date. If 25
people pledge $50 a month for 12 months, I would have 100 percent of the funds
necessary for my trip.
I have
enclosed a response card and pre-addressed envelope, 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 would
prefer to make your donation online, you may do so by visiting my blog site at:
katiewright.theworldrace.org. Just click
the “Support Me” link in the upper left side of the page and complete your
donation as instructed.
I would deeply be grateful for any support you are able to
give. Your support is what is going to
allow me to spread God’s love all over the nations. Know that no matter how
small a gift you are able to give God will multiply it. God has some amazing things lined up for me
and my entire team and the people that we come into contact with during the 11
months we are out ministering. But
remember, I not only need your financial support, I need your prayers and
spiritual guiding throughout this ministry. I hope that you will prayerfully consider becoming a part of this
amazing journey. I ask that you please
pass this letter on to your friends, family, church members, and colleagues so
that they may all have the chance to join in on this wonderful opportunity with
us.
In Him,
Katie Wright
