So I didn't really notice that my support letter was impossible to see so here it is for all of yall to see!
Dear Friends and Family,
In the past three years I’ve been struggling with basically what I want to do with my life, and how I can use the gifts God has given me. My resume, as of recent, mostly consists of warehouse work and stocking. But for me being inside all day honestly drives me nuts. I know God has more in store for me than just stocking shelves all day. I am a firm believer in the fact that If God intended for man to spend his days indoors, then He would not reveal himself to man in the wild. So that is exactly what I plan to do next year. Go into the wild, unfamiliar, and unknown, through The World Race. I want God to use me and my passions for Him and His glory. On this trip I plan to:
Grow in my walk with God
- Learn how to minister and reach tons of people
- Have fun backpacking around the world
- Use my gifts and passions for Christ
The World Race is a mission trip run buy Adventures In Missions (AIM), a Christian non-profit organization. The Race consists of 11 countries in 11 months where we do everything from helping orphans in Swaziland to sex trafficking victims in parts of Europe and Asia. And of course we will be sharing The Gospel with the world, and the message of God’s love through his Son Jesus Christ. God has definitely put this in my life so that I can live for Him. He has blessed me with a craving for adventure, and a means to go out and explore the world for His glory. The countries I will be ministering in are Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Romania, Ukraine, South Africa, Swaziland, Mozambique, Thailand, Malaysia, and Cambodia.
I would ask that you partner with me in prayer on this journey. I would ask that you pray for:
- Safety through out the entire journey
- That God will fully equip me for the World Race mind, body, and soul
- That God will make a leader out of me and help me to become a vital member of my squad
- That God will use me to sew the good seed and that the people I minister to would be of good soil.
- Finally that financially I will be able to go
I’m relying on God to fully provide for this trip. The funding is completely through donations. My goal is to raise $15,500 by the end of December. I understand that money is tight so please do not feel obligated to donate, but if you do choose to give it would mean the world to me.
I will be sharing my adventures via blog, so if you would like to read and watch me on my journey feel free to do so @ stevenbuffington.theworldrace.org !
Again thank you for your time, consideration, prayer and support!
Be Blessed,
Steven L. Buffington II
