I was accepted to the World Race mission trip in July and need your help to raise $16,252! My squad will serve in Colombia, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Thailand, Cambodia, Japan, Malaysia, Swaziland, Botswana and South Africa. We will be working in orphanages, teaching English, doing evangelistic outreach, visiting the elderly and the sick, doing construction, assisting women and children caught in human trafficking and encouraging small tribes of believers in rural areas. Adventures in Missions is an interdenominational Christian 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Your donations are tax-deductible! Support my mission trip here: http://rachelkrause.theworldrace.org/.

3. About Me
• Born and raised in the Midwest.
• Graduated from the University of Wisconsin–Madison with a degree in
English & Religious Studies.
• Passionate about my faith, people and animals.
I enjoy communicating through my writing and art.

4. What Led Me to this Mission?
• After moving to Georgia in 2009, I found myself learning to trust
God through more difficult periods of transition.
• God broke me of my need to control my circumstances. As these
trials stretched me to my limit, they built my faith, resiliency and
positivity.
• I have a deep desire to serve and help others. I’ve learned
genuine compassion through my life experiences.
• After being laid off in February, I searched for new jobs but also
considered this unexpected time as an opportunity to do
something new.
• I felt compelled to look into mission trips and applied
to the World Race.

5. About the World Race
• Run by Adventures in Missions (AIM) in Gainesville, GA.
• AIM is an interdenominational Christian 501(c)(3) non-profit organization
dedicated to bringing the love, light and hope of Jesus Christ to people all
over the world.
• They have been mobilizing missionaries since 1989. The first World Race
squad was mobilized in 2006.
• The World Race is a challenging journey to 11 countries in 11 months to
serve “the least of these” (Matthew 25:40).
• This mission trip facilitates discipleship while living and serving in
authentic, raw communities.

6. Our Mission

• Our squad will be partnering with local ministries that will continue serving
these communities long after we leave.

7. Why I am Going
• I love God with all my heart and want to serve
His people in a meaningful way.
• To be a source of light in a dark and hurting
world. To comfort the brokenhearted, pray for
the sick and minister to those who have been
abused, neglected and forgotten.
• For an opportunity to use my talents to make a difference outside of an
office building.
• This mission will also be a chance to heal, grow and expand my
worldview.

8. Make a Difference
