Grace Student Allison Elliott Embarks On An Amazing Missions Trip

Allison Elliott has been attending Grace Church for the past 4 years. She has an amazing heart for missions and is preparing to accept a huge challenge from God to serve Him in a unique way. Allsion explains... "This is not just your ordinary mission trip. I am about to embark on an 11 month trek across the world to 11 different countries. This is called The World Race and the countries I will be visiting are Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Malaysia, Philippines, Cambodia, Vietnam, China, Ukraine, Romania, and Moldova. I am excited and ready to see what God wants to do throughout the world. This is my opportunity to step out of the status quo into a world of the unknown. The world Jesus calls us into as believers, to love and serve the "least of these". Past and current racers have had the opportunity to serve widows, orphans, and the poor, minister the love of jesus Christ, and plant churches. I expect to come face to face with victims of human trafficking and the AIDS crisis in the areas that I will be going. I expect to be stretched beyond my own strength and learn what it means to give up everything to follow Jesus. Please support me and all the other missionaries out there in prayer. Thy Kingdom come! I also have my own blog for the world race. You can follow me http://www.theworldrace.allieelliott.org/. We encourage you to support Allison in prayer and she needs financial support to make this trip a reality as well. You can contact Allison @ ae082348@scots.edinboro.edu
