Dear family and friends,
I hope this letter finds you well. In this past year, God has been completely transforming my life, and I can’t wait to see the work and transformation He has in store for the coming year! I am excited to share with you what God has laid on my heart. A year ago, God placed the World Race on my heart. The World Race is an 11-month mission trip through Adventures in Missions (AIM). In July 2014, I will be embarking on this adventure.
I will be serving “the least of these” in 11 countries over 11 months as a missionary for AIM, an international Christian organization that focuses on raising up disciples of Jesus Christ, in its World Race program. I’ll travel with a squad of 60 people to Swaziland, Botswana, South Africa, Romania, Moldova, Thailand, Cambodia, India, Nepal, Guatemala and Nicaragua to partner with local non-profit organizations and ministries.
I have been called to teach, and now am being told that I am to do more. God has something bigger in store for me, and I feel as though the race is that “something bigger”. He has said, “Submit control and share the wonders of my love”. And he said to them: Go into all the world and proclaim the Gospel to the whole creation. –Mark 16:15 ESV

If you feel called to support me in this mission financially and/or prayerfully, I’d be happy to speak with you more about my story and AIM. My fundraising goal is $16,252. With that, I have a strict set of deadlines to meet throughout the next year. The funds that are raised cover food, lodging, medical insurance, air, land and sea travel. The deadlines are as follows:
· $3,500 – Due 5/3/2014
· $7,500 – Due 6/17/2014
· $11,000 – Due 10/1/2014
· $16,252 – Due 1/1/2015
PRAYER REQUESTS:
-God would be glorified in EVERY aspect of the trip.
-Satan would be bound from anything that distracts anyone from hearing the voice of God.
-God’s word would be proclaimed with power and produce life change, transformation.
-God would use me as he sees fit to be his hands and feet.
-The unconditional love of God would radiate in and through each of our lives.
I want to thank you so much in advance for your prayers and/or financial support. May God bless you as you prayerfully consider partnering with me in this ministry. Thank you in advance for your support. A little goes a long way! If you would like to follow me on my journey, follow my blog at http://summerkinser.theworldrace.org.
