Adventures WorldRace SethBarnes Sponsorship Giving

| by archiveworldraceblogs

Dear friends and family,
 
I hope you are all doing well! Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. Whether I get to see you every week, or we haven’t crossed paths for quite some time, I am thankful for every last one of you. I wanted to let you know about some new things that are going on in my life. As some of you may know, I went on my first mission trip to the Dominican Republic in 2007. Since that trip, I have had a heart for missions and helping those who cannot help themselves. With that, I returned to the DR in 2008 and again in 2010.
 
This past May, I felt God calling me back to the mission field. A month later, I was told about a program through Adventures in Missions called The World Race — an 11-month Christian mission trip to 11 different countries around the world. After a lot of prayer and deliberation, God made it very clear that I needed to abandon all the comforts of home and leave everything behind to spread His word, starting in July 2013! The countries I will be traveling to are: Romania, Ukraine, Ireland, India, Sri Lanka, Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Thailand, Cambodia, and Malaysia!
          
While on the World Race, my team and I will serve along side churches and ministries in local communities to achieve one simple goal: Love God, Love People.
 
I am so grateful for this opportunity that God has given me, and have every confidence that He will provide for my needs! While I will be doing many things to fundraise on my own, my prayer is that you would also consider partnering prayerfully and financially with me in my ministry. Here is a breakdown of what I need financially:
-I need to raise $15,000 in order to go on the World Race.

This covers all of my expenses on the field, including transportation, and room and board. Financial support can be given as a one-time gift or as a monthly donation, wherein you choose the amount and a beginning and end date. If 50 people pledge $25 a month for 12 months, I would have the necessary funds for my trip!
There are two ways you can make a tax-deductible donation. You can make a donation online by clicking HERE and completing your donation as instructed. Or, if you would like to donate using check, please email me ([email protected]) your address so I can send you the necessary form for you to receive a receipt.

-I need to raise (about) $3,000 for everything else.

This will cover things like gear, traveler’s insurance, vaccinations, and flights to and from training camp. This also includes monthly spending money. AIM recommends bringing spending money to pay for things ranging from personal care items to rafting the Nile.
You can donate online to [email protected] through PayPal.com by clicking HERE. Or you can mail cash or check to me personally at 20050 Londelius St., Northridge, CA, 91324.

          
I am so excited to see how God will move in my life and in the lives of others next year. I hope to be a blessing to not only those I serve, but to you as well. I would be honored to go as your representative to bring the love of Jesus to nations around the world. 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!
 
Joyfully,
Samantha
