In response to that calling I will be leaving everything I know and love July 1st 2012 to serve as a missionary through Adventures in Missions on The World Race program, an 11-month Christian mission trip to 11 countries (list of countries below). I will learn to live modestly, and in most countries I will live in a tent. Our team will partner with churches and ministries in local communities to preach the Gospel, work in orphanages, minister to women and children who are trapped in prostitution as a result of human trafficking, and bring the hope of Christ’s love to many tribes and nations. I will be living out of a backpack. (Yes, that means I won’t be able to bring my entire wardrobe with me, or my adorable dog that I love so much) I will learn to abandon all that has made my life comfortable and learn to depend on Him in ways I’ve never had to. My greatest desire is to allow God to use me outside of my comfort zone serving, praying and sharing Christ's love and salvation to the world.
I am so grateful for this opportunity that God has given me and have every confidence that He will provide for my needs! I would like to invite you to be a part of my prayer and financial support team. Pray that God will go before me in this support raising process and in the field, prepairing my heart and the hearts of those I meet. I would also ask that you prayerfuly consider contributing financialy. Just as surely as God calls some to go, He calls others to stay. I certainly can't do this on my own and hope that you may consider being my senders. ANY gift is a major blessing and I only ask that you seek what the Lord would have you to do. I must raise, $20,000, which will cover all travel, housing and living expenses, insurance and medical coverage for the 11 months . If 100 people pledge about $18 a month for 11 months or $200 one time, I will have 100% of the funds necessary for the trip. Enclosed is a form that tells you about the ways you can help. Also, check out www.theworldrace.org to learn more and keep up with me here on my blog throughout the fundraising process and eventually the trip itself, to see what God is doing!
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 honored to go as your representative to bring Christ Jesus to nations around the world. I want to thank you in advance for your prayers and financial support. May God bless you as you prayerfully consider teaming with me on this journey.
Joyfully,
Tina Meyer
