Sending the Future

One of the priviledges we have in leading an international church and ministry is the quality of young people who are drawn to work with us here in Mobile. In 2007 we met a young woman named Alyssa Mueller who came to study at the University of Mobile in 2006. Alyssa heard me share about Friends of Internationals while attending a local church in the area. She became involved in building relationships with international students and eventually joined us as we started All Nations Community Church in the spring of 2009 in our home. Alyssa has always felt drawn to building relationships with internationals and upon graduation she spent over a year and a half employed as the volunteer coordinator for Refugee Resettlement here in Mobile. 

In the fall of last year Alyssa was able to travel to India for a short trip with a team from Bay Community Church. As the trip drew to a close she felt that she would like to extend her trip. Unfortunately she could not do that and returned to Mobile and began praying and planning for what God might have next in her life. Alyssa through prayer and research made connection with a ministry known as Adventures in Mission based in Atlanta, Georgia. She has committed to serving for an 11 month mission in 11 countries across Europe, Africa and Asia. I admire her courage and desire to learn and serve people from around the world. She needs to raise her support in order to live abroad for this period of time. As her Pastor I can vouch for her integrity and character. Alyssa is worthy of your consideration in 'sending the future'.  Alyssa is twenty four years old and has a huge opportunity to spend her life for God's purpose in the nations. This trip will enable her to develop her understanding of world mission and help her make a long term commitment to mission.
