Family, friends, and supporters:
It’s hard to believe that my six months in the Fellowship program has come to an end. Thank you again for your support, both financially and in prayer, throughout this season. Working at the Adventures in Missions office has truly been a blessing to me as I’ve had the opportunity to continue growing closer to the Lord, to cast vision for what He’s calling me into, and to serve this organization as they empower and equip young men and women to go out and bring His Kingdom to our world. To celebrate the end of this season, I’d like to share with you a few of the contributions I was able to make during my time here:
- Extend the impact of Adventures in Missions into the local Gainesville, GA community by helping plant a church, mentoring elementary and middle school kids as well as building strategic partnerships between Adventures and local charities/non-profit organizations;
- Lay the groundwork for the creation of an Adventures base in the Philippines which will house a team of long-term missionaries, support the ministry of Wipe Every Tear (rescuing women from sex-trafficking) and become sustainable through a “Business as Missions” coffee shop (managed by a team of missionaries from the Wisconsin Dells);
- Assist with the creation and organization of the World Race Expedition (a World Race route designed specifically around the 10/40 Window, where nearly 90% of the almost 4 billion people who have never heard the Gospel live – and less than 5% of foreign missionaries go).
With all of that in mind, I am thrilled to announce that I have been asked to squad lead the second-ever World Race Expedition route leaving in April! I will act as on-the-field leadership for the next six months with a squad of 21 men and women – discipling, encouraging, and spurring them on – as we bring the Gospel and the Kingdom to the most unreached places in the world. The first Expedition route launched in January and they’re already bearing incredible fruit! In their first three months, they’ve planted a church, bought and handed out Bibles in a local language and hundreds of people have received healing through their prayers. I encourage you to visit the Expedition page (www.theworldrace.org/expedition) to hear more about their experiences. As a squad leader, I want to see all of that and more for the April Expedition squad and God’s Kingdom!
As many of you may recall, the Lord placed squad leading on my heart more than a year ago – and I couldn’t be more excited to be able to say “Yes!” to the opportunity to lead this squad. In doing so, I will need to raise $6,500 in support to cover the cost of my expenses for six months as well as travel to/from the squad’s remaining debriefs once I leave the field. As one of my blog readers and supporters for my World Race and Fellowship program, I ask that you would consider continuing your support, financially with a one-time or monthly donation and in prayer, during this next six months of squad leading. If you would like to continue partnering with me financially, you can donate right here through my blog by clicking on the “Support Me” link on the left side of the page. If you would prefer to mail in a check, you can make it out to “Adventures in Missions”, include NEAL NATALIE on the memo line and mail it to the address below:

I thank you in advance for your continued support, whether financially, in prayer, or both. Together – we are advancing the Kingdom of God!
For His Glory,
Nat
