Support Gracie's Cambridge Mission Trip

Hello everyone, it's Gracie Harris! Bless you for reading this lil note of mine!

This summer, I have the amazing opportunity to go to Cambridge, United Kingdom! The first few weeks, I am studying abroad with the Torrey Honors College at Biola University (this is so I graduate on time). However, I am not going back home with the rest of Biola when the Torrey trip is done, but I am actually going to be staying in Europe to do a two week missions trip with Cambridge International Outreach! Cambridge International Outreach is a missions program that Friends International does during the summer. From sporting events to opening up their own evening cafe to inclusive Bible studies, Cambridge International Outreach focuses on students who come to Cambridge from across the world eager to learn English and invites these students to have conversations that improve their English - Gospel conversations! These students are aware that they are talking with Christians and, though that may sound like it would drive people away, CIO has continued to be astounded at the faithfulness of the Lord as He brings dozens of students in, year by year, who develop relationships with our teams and learn about the Gospel as well as the English language! What I love about CIO is that they make sure that these relationships stay: the international students that are reached stay in touch with the team that evangelized to them, and the locals that are reached are immediately plugged into one of the few local churches that partners with CIO. The heart of CIO is to grow the church, both local and global, which is what the heart of all missions organizations SHOULD BE!

I was not planning on opening up a GoFundMe but, when I would share the mission of CIO with some of my friends, they asked me where they could give! So, if you feel led at all to give financially, I offer you the opportunity to do so here! I put the goal as $1 because GoFundMe requires an amount but honestly I am grateful for whatever the Lord provides! Even more than financial contribution, brothers and sisters in Christ I ask that you would join me in PRAYER for this missions trip! I will be sending out a Newsletter both before and during my missions trip. If you would like to subscribe to that email, please send me your email and I will be sure to send my letters to you!

God bless you all, thank you so much for your support in my life! I would not be where I am if the Lord had not placed you guys in my life! Love you all so much!
