Adventures WorldRace SethBarnes Sponsorship Giving

| by archiveworldraceblogs

Our squad has set a lofty goal, as many of you know, to be FULLY FUNDED before we leave in July. Right now we have raised $332, 434.00 so far… which means we have  $752,566.00 to go. Now, I know this sounds like a HUGE number and absolutely impossible to raise that kind of money in 2 and 1/2 months but we are trusting that our HUGE GOD will provide! As my cousin said yesterday, ‘If it is faith, it has to come down to the wire.’ (Or something like that. 🙂 But “because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its
work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything” (James 1:3-4). So we will persevere!

 

To accomplish this goal we have put together the letter below and are sending it to local churches as well as friends and family. Our hope is that many many people will view the video we have created and be inspired to pray and give.

 
Thank you to anyone who has already been praying and given to this team! 

 

To the Body of Christ, the Church:

“Grace and peace to you from God our Father and from the
Lord Jesus Christ” (Romans 1:7).

We are writing you, our brothers and sisters, asking for
your help to spread the Gospel to the nations! Without a doubt, Christ has
called us all to “…go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the
name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit” (Matthew 28:19). This
is a high calling and one that we are all excited to have the privilege to
answer!

A group of about 70 individuals, otherwise known as the W
Squad, will be leaving in July of this year to go on The World Race. This is an
11-month mission trip to 11 countries. That is right, 1 country every month!
“There is a generation of radicals whose heartbeat is to see a changed world.
It’s a generation that’s dissatisfied with the status quo and is actively
rising to the challenge of seeing the world transformed through tangible
expressions of God’s love” (http://www.theworldrace.org).
This is our heart! We desire to obey Christ and to see Him change lives!

As we are sure you have guessed by now, this does not come
cheap, nor does it come without spiritual warfare. As a team, we have already
begun to experience Satan’s opposition to God’s plan in this financially,
emotionally, and physically. But we know that our God prevails! With His help,
we will not be stopped and we will “…press on toward the goal to win the prize
for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 3:14).

We come to you now humbly asking for your prayers and
financial support. Please visit wsquad.tumblr.com to view a short video our squad created. We would
greatly appreciate it if you would take the time to view this video, and if the
Lord leads you, to share it with your family, friends, and congregation. 

Furthermore, if you are interested in having a World Racer
from the W Squad give their testimony at your church please contact Kim
Butler at 770-364-4197 or [email protected]. We would
love the opportunity to share our story with you! 

Many blessings,
The W Squad
