So, since you have found my World Race blog I am going to assume that you already know this, but allow me to just share my excitement: I AM GOING ON THE WORLD RACE!! I am so excited about this adventure and excited to see all that God does as I prepare and go on this trip! I will be leaving in July of 2014 and I will be traveling to South America, Asia and Africa (I will update more on the countries in a later blog!) Thank you for reading my blog!
Dear friends and family,
I hope this letter finds you well! I am writing you today to let you know about what God has been doing in my life recently. I went to a year long Bible school in 2011-2012 and came home with a deeper love for Christ and a desire to know Him better and to make His name known wherever I am. However, I was not sure what this would look like. Over the last few months He has made it very clear where I am supposed to be and I am thrilled to share that He is leading me to missions!
I will be a missionary through the organization Adventures In Missions, in their World Race program. The World Race is an 11 month Christian mission trip to 11 different countries around the world and I could not be more thrilled that I get to be a part of this trip! On the World Race my team and I will partner with churches and ministries in the local communities and serve in many different ways: sports ministries, planting churches, working in orphanages, teaching English, ministering to women and children trapped in prostitution and street evangelism, all while sharing the love of God to many tribes and nations. During my 11 months, I will be traveling to countries in South America, Asia and Africa!
I am so thankful that God has given me this opportunity and I believe that He will provide all that I need. However, I believe that He will do that through YOU! I am writing to ask if you would consider partnering with me in prayer and financially. I must raise $16,285 in order to go on the World Race, which covers all of my expenses on the field. Your financial support can be given as a one-time gift or as a monthly donation. You choose the monthly amount as well as the beginning and end date. If 67 people pledged and gave $20 a month for 12 months I would be FULLY FUNDED! But any amount would be such a huge blessing and incredibly helpful!
I have enclosed a response card and a pre-adressed envelope. Please make checks payable to Adventures In Missions (and write my name on the memo line) and return the response card with your donation to Adventures In Missions, PO Box 742570, Atlanta GA, 30374-2570. The response card will provide AIM with the information necessary to send you a receipt for your donation. If you would prefer to make a donation online you can do so by visiting my blog site at: shannonpere.theworldrace.org. Just click the “Support Me” link on the upper left side of the page and complete your donation as instructed.
I am so excited to see how God will move in my life as I prepare for the World Race and how He will move when I am on the World Race. I cannot believe I have been given this opportunity and I am thankful that you have read this letter! 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! Please feel free to call or email me if you have any questions! Or, if you are in Little Rock and would like to visit with me in person, please call!
In Him,
Shannon Pere
