Dear Family and Friends,
I hope this letter finds you well. I wanted to write you to let you know about some new things that are going on in my life.
For the last 3 years I have been working as a receptionist at a music studio in Frisco. I have truly enjoyed the time I have spent serving our wonderful students and their families as I watched them grow as musicians and people. That being said, I have wanted to do missions work, on some level, for the last 8 years after going on my first mission trip to Africa. Over the past few months I have felt a strong call to the mission field, and in that time God has been faithfully changing and preparing my heart to do so.
I am excited to share that He has given me the opportunity to go on a missions trip called the World Race! The World Race is an 11 month Christian mission trip to 11 countries around the world. 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 kingdom calling. Through 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 trapped in prostitution as a result of human trafficking, and bring the restorative hope of the Father’s love to many tribes and nations. I will be traveling to Serbia, Albania, Bulgaria, Malaysia, Thailand, Laos, Lesotho, South Africa, Madagascar, Jamaica, and the Dominican Republic.
I will face many challenges all throughout the World Race, but as I prepare for my departure, one of my greatest challenges is my financial support. Like most other missions organizations, World Race participants are required to fundraise financial support. In order to leave fully funded in August, I need to raise $18,017. This money will cover all of my field expenses for the 11 months of the trip. I am writing to you to ask if you would consider partnering prayerfully and financially with me as I take this large step of faith in trusting the Lord.
Financial support can be given as a one-time gift or a monthly donation, wherein you choose the amount and beginning and end date. You may make donation by check, money order, or online. Please make checks payable to Adventures In Missions and return the response card with your donation to Adventures In Missions, PO Box 742570, Atlanta, GA 30374-2570 and place my name on the memo line of the check. If you prefer to make your donation online, you may do so by visiting my blog site at: KristinePeterson.theworldrace.org. Just click the “Support Me” link in the upper left side of the page and complete your donation as instructed.
I am extremely excited to see how God will move in my life and in the lives of others in the coming year. I want to thank you in advance for your prayers and financial support. May God bless you as you prayerfully consider partnering with me in this ministry.
Yours in Christ,
Kristine
