Dear Family and Friends,
  
I hope your year is going well.  I am writing you to share some amazing things that are going on in my life. I have been working at Desco Federal Credit Union for four years now. While work is good the past few months I have been feeling this overwhelming restlessness like I’ve been missing something huge. I wasn’t quite sure what it was until now. For the past two years I have known about The World Race but it never really meant anything until now. I have signed up and have been accepted to be a part of The World Race!
I will be serving under an organization called Adventures in Missions. One of the programs they offer is called The World Race. This program is a  Christian mission trip for 11 months to 11 different countries around the world. The World Race was designed to get their racers to the point of love with no boundaries. To have hearts broken to the point of action for God’s people. On the race my team and I will partner up with churches, orphanages and even minister to women and children imprisoned in prostitution caused by human trafficking. The goal is to  bring hope and peace to a nations that are starving for God’s love and mercy. 
I am so trilled for this opportunity God has given me. I believe beyond a shadow of a doubt that God will provide for my needs! My prayer is that He will do that through you.  I am writing to you to ask if you would consider partnering prayerfully and financially with me in my ministry. I must raise $15,500 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 monthly donations where you choose the amount and beginning 
and end date. If 25 people pledge 62 dollars monthly for 10 months, I would have 100 percent of the funds needed for my trip. Your donations are tax deductible.
I have enclosed a response card and pre-addressed envelope, inviting you to share in this ministry.  Please make checks payable to Adventures In Missions and write my name in the memo then return the response card with your donation to Adventures In Missions, PO Box 534470, Atlanta, GA, 30353-4470. The response card will provide AIM with the information necessary to send you a receipt for your donation.  If you would prefer to make your donation online, you may do so by visiting my blog site at : stephaniekettel.theworldrace.org.  Just click the “Support Me” link in the upper left side of the page and complete your donation as instructed.  I would like to thank you in advance no matter how you decide to contribute, whether it is through prayer, through donation, or through both, I truly appreciate your support.
I am so excited to see what God has planned for my life and the lives of the people I will come into contact with this starting September.  I am honored that God has chosen me to be a servant in the mission field.  May God bless you for prayerfully considering partnering with me in this ministry. You can stay in contact with me during these eleven exciting and growing months through my blog site. I will be contacting you soon. 
 
Thanks again,
Stephanie Kettel
