About this Fundraiser

Dear family and friends,

 

I’ve been approved to participate in the Walla Walla University Student Missions Program, so I have decided to take a year off of college to teach elementary abroad. I am told my year as a missionary will be both challenging and rewarding—the experience of a lifetime.

 

I have decided to step into the Student Missions program because I want to give my life to God for a year as I share His love with others. I have been looking forward to this opportunity since I was a little 8th grader at Loma Linda Academy, and now after 6 years, I finally get to go! I am growing in God as I face the fundraising challenge.

 

There are several costs associated with this experience: travel costs, visa costs, mailing costs, living costs while I’m out, and the list goes on. Each year, the student missionaries are required to raise the money needed. We do that by working in the community for donations, asking for donations from mission supporters, working with our local churches for help, and by earning as much as we can in addition to the money given. The funds are used to get us to our location, to make sure we’re cared for while we’re there, and then to bring us home. A portion of the fundraised money ($500) goes toward training and support offered through the SM office. Any excess funds I raise help other SMs to go, provide emergency aid, as well as help support SMs in the field.  

 

Will you consider joining me in this by giving as generous a gift as you’re able? Any amount you share will be deeply appreciated! Each of us has a goal of $3,500. Donations will be deposited into the Student Missionary fund to help turn our dreams of being missionaries into the satisfaction that comes from serving others.

 

I’m at a time when I can accept this opportunity and give this year of my life to God. I am asking you to share in the blessing by helping financially. I appreciate your prayers to help me face the many challenges I will face as I live away from family and friends, adjust to a new culture—its people, food, and way of life—and serve as an ambassador for Christ. Anything would help enormously, whether it’s money, school supplies, advice, or encouragement!

 

Thank you so much for your help. I’m excited to have you share in this experience with me. I will make sure I keep you updated with my SM experiences, so you know how your contribution is helping others.

 

In His love and for His service,

Rachel Barlow
