Hello friends and family,

I want to share a glimpse into what God has been doing this spring! There is so much to celebrate and so much ahead.

This year, We’ve watched students worship in unfamiliar places, pray boldly over strangers, and discover that God can use them in ways they never imagined. Since the start of the year, we’ve sent out 40 mission teams, many of them from Christian high school programs. We sent them to serve in places like Black Mountain, Native American Ministries, Denver, New Orleans, Puerto Rico, Guatemala, and right here in Manchester. It’s been incredible to watch young people step out in faith, serve boldly, and share the Gospel across such a wide range of communities.

And we’re just getting started!

Between now and the end of August, we’re preparing to send out 85 more teams to 23 ministry locations. Would you join us in praying for these teams? Pray that they would deepen their roots in Christ, boldly share the Gospel with those far from God, and return home with stories of salvation, seeds planted, and God’s glory spreading throughout the earth.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Over the past few months, I’ve been reconnecting with ministry partners and seeking the Lord for what’s next. This past year brought some challenges in reaching my annual financial support goal, which has led me into a season of prayer and asking the Lord, “Where are You directing me?”

In the midst of that, God opened an unexpected and divinely placed door. I’ve begun tutoring a homeschool family in our area a few times a week. It’s been such a gift to see how He provides while also allowing me to combine my love for education and ministry in a meaningful way.

At the same time, within my work with Adventures in Missions, I’m stepping into a new opportunity to help connect World Racers, alumni, coaches, and churches that go on mission with us.

The vision is to see World Racers not simply complete their year of ministry and return home asking, “What’s next?” We want to help connect them with housing, jobs, mentors, churches, and missional communities so they can continue growing in faith and living missionally. So we’re building the pathways for these World Racers to step into communities where they will be known, supported, discipled, and connected. My hope is that they continue growing into all that God has called them to be long after their time on the mission field ends.

I am still actively praying and seeking for others to come alongside me in this work. Right now, my support team has helped me reach 30% of my $30,000 annual goal, which is due in September. Reaching this goal will allow me to continue serving mission teams, investing in young leaders, and helping build long-term discipleship pathways for returning missionaries.

If you feel led, I would love to invite you to partner with what God is doing through Adventures in Missions in this season.

And finally… the update you’ve really been waiting for! 😊

Rose is now 5 months old! Where did the last five months go?!

She continues to be such a joy in our lives. Just this past few weeks, she started eating and even feeding herself. She’s grabbing the spoon and bringing it right to her mouth! So far, bananas are definitely her favorite.

She’s also had some fun “firsts” recently: her first hotel stay, her first time swimming in a pool, and swinging at Nana’s. Her laughter fills our home, and her smile brings so much light to our days.

I’m especially excited to bring her along this summer to meet some of the mission teams and the people we will serve alongside. It’s shaping up to be a season we won’t forget!

Prayer Requests

We would be so grateful if you joined us in prayer during this season:

• For Nick as he begins a new job—we’re praying that it would be a great fit and a blessing in this season.
• For Rose’s continued growth, health, and development.
• For the mission teams this summer, that those in need would encounter the love of God in tangible ways.
• For the youth and teams being sent, that they would be encouraged and excited to walk with God all the days of their lives.
• For financial provision to allow me to continue on mission. I’m praying that God would raise up partners to help meet my fundraising goal by September 2026.
• For God’s peace, wisdom, and guidance to lead our family every step of the way as we deepen community and invite Him into everyday life.

Thank you for being part of this journey with us. Whether you pray, give, encourage, or go with us, we are so grateful for your partnership in this Kingdom work, we know we could not do this alone.

With gratitude,
Savanna
