My name is Shannon Rose Marshall. For the last four years I have been attending the University of Nevada, Reno and I will be graduating this May with a Bachelors degree in Community Health Sciences. Once I graduate, I will be embarking on an incredible journey starting in September called the World Race.
The World Race is an 11-month long mission trip put on by an organization called Adventures in Missions that will allow me to travel to a new country each month, partnering with churches or ministries that are set up in those countries that are serving the people there through a variety of different ways.
We will be going to Haiti, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Malawi, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam and Cambodia. We will be trekking through these countries with only what we are able to carry on our backs and we will be serving in many ways whether through orphanages, hospitals, churches, schools, with women/children in the sex trade, etc. and sharing the love of Christ.
For quite some time I have realized that I don’t want the American dream of having a nice house, with a nice car, and a 9-5 job that will provide all of the needs for me to settle into having a routine, comfortable lifestyle. I want so much more and I know that God is offering me so much more. I am not comfortable with the injustices of this world and the ways in which people are living without hope and without love.
I am not comfortable sitting here knowing that I have been blessed and gifted with so much that can be used to serve others. Thus I know that if I want to see change, I need to be that change. I want to GO, healing the sick and proclaiming the good news of Jesus to the world. God is moving and working throughout the world in big ways and I want to be a part of it and see real miracles. And this is what the World Race has to offer me.
This is my vision and my dream and I hope that through these 11-months I will be greatly impacted in ways that will forever change me so that when I return home I may see my place here in the US with a new global lens and be better equipped to serve God and others from right here or wherever God has me go. I know that I cannot do this alone and I would love for you to be able to join me on this journey both financially and through prayer. I need to raise a total of $16,254 which will include all expenses for the trip.
Would you please consider a monthly donation or a one-time gift? Anything that you are willing/able to provide will help me tremendously. Donations can be made through my personal blog page at shannonmarshall.theworldrace.org/
Thank you so much for all of your love and support. I hope that you will share my vision and accompany me in the amazing ways that God wants to work and care for His people around the world. May God bless you, protect you, and always be a light to you.
Lots of love!
