Here is a little more information about this crazy trip I’m taking!
What is The World Race?
The World Race is an 11-month Christian mission trip to 11 different countries around the world. It’s a way for young adults to abandon a traditional lifestyle in exchange for a dramatic paradigm shift. Through adventure, ministry, community, and self-discovery, World Racers develop broken hearts that propel their hands to act for God’s kingdom around the globe.
How can you support me?
Prayer! Both my teammates and I will be needing much prayer as we embark on this trip and as we prepare to leave. Financially! I am responsible for raising $15,500 in support. Whether you can donate $5, $50, $100, or more…every bit helps! I know that God has called me and that when we are obedient to his call he provides the resources to accomplish the task.
How can you give financially?
There are various ways! Just click on the Support Me! tab to the left to donate online…
- You can choose to donate monthly- you can choose the amount and when you would like the donations to start and end…
- You can choose to donate a one-time gift online.
- You can write a check and send it to Adventures in Missions for one time and monthly donations. Please make checks payable to Adventures In Missions and send to Adventures In Missions, PO Box 534470, Atlanta, GA,30353-4470. (Just make sure that my name is on the memo line so that they know where the funds are supposed to go.)
I have to be fully funded by 6 months into my trip so this means that one time girfts and all monthly commitments must be completed by June 2012. Because of this deadline I’m asking if you would consider starting your monthly support in September or October and continue through June 2012.
