Hi y’all!

In case you have not heard I am heading out on my 1st mission trip this year to the Amazon over Thanksgiving for about 2 weeks. I will be traveling the Amazon River stopping in villages spreading God’s love to people who have never heard of Him or Jesus. I will be helping out doing VBS at a village and just working with adults at the others we stop in. Also, my team and I are looking to put in the 1st Water Well in one of the villages so they can experience CLEAN water for the first time. I am traveling with other young singles in DFW and it is a true privilege to go.

There are several reasons why I am giving up my Thanksgiving and the comfort of my home and family to be with a group of young singles with a mission: Share God’s Love. We are all called to go, here is my chance. For the past month I have wrestled with whether I should go or shouldn’t, and as always it is an internal fight and when I feel torn that usually means it is my own selfishness that is keeping me here. This has been the biggest indicator that I am SUPPOSED to go on this Mission trip. After months of praying “God, I do not need to go on this trip, there is someone better qualified to go. I am better fit staying..” My heart changed and my view changed. “Give me peace if I am to go.” This became my focus and my drive. After my focus changed, people began to ask me multiple times during the day, are you going to go to the Amazon. I knew this was God saying “Kid, you do not have to be perfect to go. I want you to go because this is what My people are called to do - Spread My Love. My response changed from changing the subject to I am going. So today, I am praying and embarking on an unbelievable journey that I am so excited for.

I do need your help during this journey. I am roughly 90 days from flying to South America. I ask that you 1) be in prayer for my team as we travel and that God uses us, 2) that you pray for me and that I continue to grow during this trip and know that I can be used even when I do not fill qualified enough, 3) for the people and that their hearts are open, and 4) I ask that you prayerfully consider helping donate to my trip. This trip does cost $3,300, so I hope you join my team in supporting me. If you cannot donate I ask that you pray and join my team in this way. I ask that you pray not only for us but the hearts of the people we are going to be meeting. But if you are able to help me financially please visit www.purecharity.com/sendanderson2amazon



My heart going into this journey:

I don’t want another day to pass - Not another moment. I want to live intentionally, in light of eternity. I want to love like You loved. I want to love with my life.


God Bless,
