Dear Family and Friends,
I truly hope you are all doing well. I am so excited to share with you what I believe the Lord is calling me to for next year! I am planning on going on a nine month mission trip with the World Race: Gap Year in September with an organization called Adventures in Missions. I will be traveling to Costa Rica, Guatemala, Thailand, and Swaziland working alongside established local missionaries in order to make the name of Christ more known. We will be doing a variety of things like engaging in youth ministry, community development, and teaching english.
In order to follow this mission, I need to raise support. Firstly, the most vital thing I desperately need is prayer. Would you consider coming alongside me in the work the Lord is doing in the Kingdom by praying for me and the team with whom I will be ministering?
Some specific prayers include:
-
The Lord would prepare both my heart and the hearts of my team for what He has.
-
He would use us in the lives of the people we meet, and prepare their hearts beforehand.
-
God would provide all we need, both physically and spiritually in preparation for this trip. It is our desire to follow where the Lord has led us, no matter the cost.
In addition to prayer support, the second way you can be involved is financially. This trip costs $16,000. This cost covers all travel, food, lodging, insurance, and other essentials that I will need for the duration of the time. Would you prayerfully consider supporting me in this? While I know this is a large amount, I trust that this is what God has called me to and He will faithfully provide all I need.
If you feel prompted to donate there are two ways you can do so:
-
Online via my blog https://bethanyhintz.theworldrace.org. I will be posting every couple of weeks (Lord willing!) trying to keep you updated on what is happening. You can also subscribe to get a notification whenever I post!
-
By check. Make all checks payable to “Adventures in Missions” with Bethany Hintz in the memo line. See the enclosed fundraising card for the mailing address and don’t forget to include this card when you mail your check!
I realize that there is a lot of uncertainty at this time with everything involving COVID-19 around the world. But this has only given me more opportunity to trust in the plan of the Lord, and believe that His way is best. I have no doubt that this is what the Lord has called me to in this season of my life and am choosing to remain steadfast in the mission set before me. I would ask you to consider coming alongside me in trusting in His timing and plan for the upcoming months.
If you have further questions about the trip or would like to talk to me, I would love to connect with you! Feel free to contact me via email at [email protected] or by phone at (719) 216-1970. I am so thankful for your consideration and look forward to connecting with you in the future!
In Him,
Bethany Hintz
