Dear Friends and Family,
I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to tell you about an incredible journey that I am about to embark upon, and I am so excited to share this news with you all.
In the last few years, I graduated from IUPUI, with a degree in Tourism Convention and Event Management. I have traveled all over the country planning events. I have been very thankful for the opportunities and experiences I have had both in college and in my career.
In March of this year we started reading “The Treasure Principal” at church, and in my church life group we were reading “Radical.” After reading both of these books, I kept coming back to the same point over and over again, when God tells us that we need to sell everything and give to those in need and if you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. This really hit home with me and I finally felt like God was speaking to me that I needed to do something.
Here’s what the Lord has revealed to me: He has called me to the mission field. I have a passion for loving the broken-hearted and serving the less fortunate. My heart yearns to be a part of big things, to see God move in big ways. I want to see the world. So what more perfect way is there to combine all of these things than by serving a multitude of God's children while I travel the world?
In October of this year, I will be traveling across the world with an 11-month program called the World Race. The World Race is a Christian mission trip with an organization called Adventures in Missions, where I will be serving as a missionary in 11 different countries. The World Race is a way the help the sick, the poor, and spent time with those in need while serving God. I will be traveling to Guatemala, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Thailand, Cambodia, Malaysia, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Malawi, and a location in Asia to be determined.

If 25 people pledge $50 a month for 12 months, I would have 100 percent of the funds necessary for my trip.
Your financial support may be given as a one time gift or as a monthly donation. I have enclosed a response card and pre-addressed envelope, and I invite you to share in this ministry.
Please make checks payable to

I also ask that you partner with me in covering this journey in prayer. Please pray for my safetyin these third-world countries. Pray for comfort and peace in the times when I will miss my loved ones. Pray for unity and love among my teammates. Above all, pray for all those who I will be serving, that their hearts will be receptive to God’s love.
I am very excited for all of the opportunities and experiences that lie ahead. I am also nervous to be stretched completely out of my comfort zone in so many ways. I want to thank you for the ways that you have loved me and impacted my life over the past 25 years. Thank you for being a part of my story, and I hope you will consider partnering with me on this journey, whether that is through monetary support or through prayer. I would love to talk with you more about this upcoming journey, and I look forward to speaking with you soon!
Joyfully,
Alyx
