Dear friends,
I’m so excited to share with you that after some preparation I will be leaving in August to spend 11 months on The World Race with Adventures in Missions! Through this organization I will be traveling internationally to 11 countries in 11 months to serve and love people well and to present and live out the Gospel.
I’m going to be spending my year in the 10/40 window, which is the portion of the world that holds people groups with the largest amounts of unreached people. This means that I will be going to places where God’s beautiful, relational, and unending love is not known and where many people have never heard the Gospel of God’s saving grace. Some examples of things that my team and I will possibly be doing include working with Syrian refugees in Jordan, teaching and encouraging members of the underground church in China, and caring for orphaned children in Egypt.
I am raising support for this year and need to raise a total of $18,617. Would you prayerfully consider joining my team by supporting me with a monthly donation of $100 (tax deductible) to enable me to serve in this way or to seek the Lord in what he wants you to give?
The easiest way to give is through my blog at LaurenNelson.TheWorldRace.org. It would be a privilege to briefly meet with you or grab a cup of coffee in order to share more about what the Lord might do over the next year! I’ll be giving you a call within the next few weeks to follow up. Feel free to call me at (610)- 937- 4144 or email me at [email protected] with any questions or to talk about this new adventure.
More than anything, I crave your prayers as I seek to follow the Lord by participating in this mission. Please pray that I will find security in Christ and be emboldened by his Spirit. Also, that I will relinquish all fears that I have about the year.
Thank you so much for considering joining my team to help reach unreached people for Christ all over the world!
