Dear Family and Friends,
I hope this letter finds you well! I’m writing to share with you an exciting opportunity that I will be participating in this upcoming year and to ask you to consider being a part of it through prayer and financial support.
I am going on a yearlong mission trip around the world with Adventures In Missions (AIM), is an interdenominational missions organization that focuses on discipling. AIM emphasizes prayer and relationships in their work among the poor. In the 17 years since they were established, they have taken 65,000 people to the mission field, some for a year or longer. Through their 14 bases around the world, they have year-round ministry to places where “the least of these” are found. AIM believes that by giving people the opportunity to hold orphans, bring hope to the hopeless, and pray for the sick, lives are transformed. AIM seeks to disciple as Jesus did – their vision is that God would use us to raise up a generation of radically committed disciples of Jesus Christ!
I will be partnering with AIM through The World Race. I will go to 11 countries in 11 months. I will be able to join in the adventures, minister to people, learn to live in a community of other believers and grow in my spiritual walk. I will have the opportunity to share the love of Jesus Christ through service work and other such things. There are three facets that go along with the trip; first, there is the race where we will race against time and other teams, second, there is cultural training and third, there is ministry where I will get the opportunity to show Christ love by reaching out to the poor, orphans, widows and all those who are in search of hope. I am excited to be given the honor of being God’s hands and feet in places of great need!
I would like to invite you to be a part of what God has called me to do. Would you prayerfully consider supporting me for this mission trip? I need to raise $15,000 by December 2008 in order to go. I would consider it a privilege to have you on my team for this exciting opportunity, and I believe the Lord will bless us both through this experience. I also need your prayer support leading up to and throughout my mission trip. Either or both means of support would be appreciated!
Thank you for your time and consideration. It would be great to have you partner with me in working towards the completion of the Great Commission.
Sincerely,
Anna Coffey
