Family & Friends,
As you know, I am entering into a very exciting time in my life. I have recently been accepted to go on the World Race. The World Race is an eleven-month mission trip done through Adventures in Missions in which you travel to a new country each month. My squad will launch in July of 2014 and travel to Puerto Rico, Ecuador, Bolivia, Peru, Cambodia, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Botswana, Swaziland, and South Africa. During The World Race, my team and I will serve in partnership with churches and ministries in local communities to preach the Gospel, plant churches, work in orphanages, minister to women, and children who are trapped in prostitution as a result of human trafficking, and bring the restoration and hope of God’s love to many tribes and nations. To sum it up, there is going to be a lot of adventure, ministry, community and self-discovery and we are going to go into communities, love on them and help them.
Proverbs 16:3 says, “Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed!” Well, I have committed! I have complete faith that this is what God has waiting for me. Therefore, I know He will provide. My prayer is that He may do so through you. I am asking you to partner with me in my new journey. I must raise $16,285 in order to go on The World Race, which covers all of my expenses in the field for the entire eleven months and travel insurance. Donations towards this should be paid directly to Adventures in Missions (AIM). All donations to AIM are tax-deductible. If you would like to mail your donation, the information needed to do so is at the bottom of this blog. Donations can also be made online by clicking the Help Send Me Packing tab in the options bar at the top left-hand side of this page. In addition to that, I will need nearly $4,500 in personal money for gear, spending money, and covering costs at home while I’m away. To support me in this way, you can mail a check to the address listed at the bottom of this blog or donate online via PayPal. If you wish to donate towards gear but do not wish to do so with a cash donation, I have registered at myregistry.com. The full link can be found at the bottom of this blog.
I am so excited to see how God will move in my life and in the lives of others in the coming year. I hope not only to be a blessing to those I serve, but also to you. I would be so honored to go as your representative to bring God’s love to nations around the world. I want to thank you in advance for your prayers and financial support. I am so extremely thankful for the family and friends I have been blessed with in my life. You are the reason I continue to smile and go on the adventures I’ve been called to go on! May God bless you as you prayerfully consider partnering with me in this ministry. Please feel free to call me with any questions you have or just to catch up (Please leave contact info in the Keep In Touch tab, and I will return all calls). I’d be thrilled to talk with you about it all. Also please forward this to anyone you feel may be interested in talking with, following, or supporting me. Thank you so much!
All my love,
Shelby Weier

The full amount may seem like a lot, but if only 25 people gave a monthly donation of $75 starting in November, I would be fully funded by December 2014! If 50 people gave monthly gifts of $35 starting in November, I would be fully funded in time! Even if 100 people gave monthly gifts of $17 starting in November, I would be fully funded in time! If it seems like a small amount, remember that every bit counts! If you are considering giving a monthly gift, I encourage you to start that sooner rather than later since there are deadlines in the months before I launch! Also, since the last deadline is in January 2015, feel free to set that as your stop date to avoid the mess of having to cancel in the future. Thank you so much for partnering with me in this amazing adventure. I am so excited to see what God does in all of these amazing countries through my teammates and me! God Bless!
