Support During My Summer Mission with GenSend to Canada!

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

After months of prayer, preparation, and anticipation, I am overjoyed to share a wonderful update: as of April 16th at 5:24 p.m., I glanced at my phone and was brought a blessed surprise—my entire GenSend trip has been fully funded!

This overwhelming moment of provision reminded me again of God’s faithfulness and the incredible generosity of His people. I am beyond grateful for everyone who has partnered with me so far, whether through financial support or prayer.

You are a part of this mission just as much as I am.

This summer, I have the privilege of serving in Calgary, Canada, through the North American Mission Board’s GenSend program. Alongside other college students, I will learn from church planters and engage in hands-on gospel work in areas of deep spiritual need. I believe this is not just a summer opportunity—it is a foundational step in the vocational calling God has placed on my life to serve in ministry and church planting across cultures and languages.

As I continue preparing through study, prayer, and team meetings, I do so with a full heart, knowing I have been sent by a community that believes in the power of the Gospel and in God’s work through young laborers like me.

That said, while the trip itself is covered, I still find myself in need of financial support in a different area. Because I will be fully immersed in this mission for two months, I will not be able to work over the summer—a reality that significantly impacts my ability to save for the upcoming fall semester. As a full-time student at Mercer, this gap places me vulnerable regarding dues and living expenses for the next academic year.

So, with deep gratitude and continued hope, I humbly ask if you would consider supporting me in this next step, to finish preparing me to return to Mercer University ready to keep walking in obedience to God’s call.

If you feel led to give, I would be incredibly grateful. More than anything, I ask for your continued prayers: for boldness, humility, and faith as I enter this next season of ministry.

With all my heart—thank you.

In Christ,

Sebastian Alejandro Blanco Contreras
