Dear friends and family,
I hope all is well with you! Since I last saw you, so much has happened in my life and I am almost done with my associates degree at AB-Tech. Over the past few years, I have been searching for something bigger in my life and the Lord has given me an answer. So, I have the coolest news to share! I have decided to step out in faith and go on the World Race in January 2021.
The World Race is a program through Adventures in Missions, in which they send young adults on an 11-month, 11-country mission trip. I will be traveling to Lebanon, Cyprus, Turkey, Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, and Australia. The World Race exists to mobilize Christ followers, discipling and training them to establish the Kingdom of God. My team and I will serve in partnership with churches and ministries in local communities around the world with the goal of bringing the Gospel and Jesus’ love to those communities. While on the field, I will have many different ministry opportunities ranging from working in orphanages, planting churches, and serving those who are in need of the Father’s love.
How you can help:
Prayer:
- For me and my team, that we would benefit and delight in our new community together, to grow in the name of the Lord.
- For those that we will encounter during our time in the field. That we can use our experiences with Christ and our stories to make connections and lasting relationships.
- For the journey of fundraising and the process of preparing to leave. This is a huge commitment, but I am in full trust in the Lord.
Financial Support:
To go on the World Race, I need to fundraise. I have full confidence and assurance in the Lord, knowing that as I walk in faith of where He is calling me, He will also provide. I would love to ask you to pray about joining my financial support team. In this, not only would you be partnering with me, but you would be partnering with the Father in the calling of bringing the Kingdom to some of the most unreached places in the world. I need to raise $18,500 by the end of April of 2021 which will cover the cost of all transportation, food, housing, insurance and other costs. Any amount that you feel led to donate will help! All donations are tax deductible. There are two ways to financially donate:
- Via my blog (http://paulajohnson.theworldrace.org). Not only does this act as a place for donations, but I will also be posting regularly about my journey – don’t forget to subscribe!
- By check. Please make all checks payable to Adventures in Missions. I have enclosed a fundraising card that must be filled out and sent with your check to the address listed on the card.
Thank you so much! If you want to talk, or have any questions, here are some ways to contact me:

I am so excited for this journey, and it is with a humble heart that I ask you to join me. Please consider supporting me and I will reach out in the next few weeks to share more about what I am doing.
With all my love,
Paula Johnson
