it's officially official

So...I have been accepted, the deposit has been made, and the support letter uploaded, all of this means that my spot on the January 2011 World Race Route #1 Squad has been secured! I am now officially a part of the Race. This means that I now have my very own blog on the World Race website. So, check it out:

chelseahughes.theworldrace.org

 and check out the other racers who are out on the field right now by going to theworldrace.org and clicking on the blog tab.

I hope ya'll had a wonderful weekend and I will talk to you soon. (Post coming soon about my memorial day weekend trip home.)

Support

The application has been submitted, the interview has been done, I have been approved, and now the support-raising must begin. The amount is staggering at first glance, being just shy of $20,000. But when you break it down it's not so scary. Here's the deal, I am asking for 100 people to support me for $15 a month. Just $15 dollars a month, that's three trips through the drive-thru, three lattes, it's not much. But $15 can be so much more if you invest it. Your $15/month will help me be the hands and feet of Christ, it will enable me to go to the uttermost parts of the earth and carry out the great commission. Please prayfully consider if God would have you be a part of my support team.

You can send tax-deductible donations to:
Independent Baptist Church

PO Box 450723
Grove, OK 74345
Memo: Chelsea Hughes or World Race

Also, once I have my WR blog set up there will be an option for a monthly bank draft if you don't want to mail a check every month.

Together great things are going to be done in Christ's name!! Thank you for all your prayers and support.
