Dear Friends and Family,
These past 2 years at the University of Arkansas have been full of so much spiritual and emotional growth. I have seen the impact of The Lord in my life in so many ways. This summer I found an amazing community of other college students in their spiritual journey through Fellowship Bible church. Fellowship has provided me with amazing relationships and opportunities, including the opportunity to go on a mission trip to Brazil during my spring break in 2025.
What is this Trip?
Through Fellowship College, I will be traveling alongside a small group of college students to share the gospel with "The Forgotten People" of the Amazon River Basin in Brazil. These people live in severe physical and spiritual poverty with little to no access to the gospel. During this week, we will be partnering with an organization called "Amazon Outreach" and local missionaries to help meet these needs and share the love of Jesus. To meet physical needs, we will be supplying medical, dental, and vision care. Every day, we will be able to plan bible studies and women's/children's groups, supply bibles, and verbally share the gospel as we immerse ourselves in the culture and community.
How you can support
First, please join me in prayer for this trip and this team. Pray God will move in hearts and bring people to Himself through the message of the Gospel. Pray for the health and safety of our team going and the current missionaries that reside there long-term. Second, if you feel called, I am asking for financial support. I need to raise about $3,700 for this trip to cover transportation and amenities. Any donations, no matter the amount, would be greatly appreciated!
Two Giving Options.
The first option is a link through Amazon Outreach (AO) a 501c3 tax-exempt non-profit organization. This would be a tax-deductible donation, however in the event that I can no longer go on the mission, this donation would be used by AO to further its charitable purposes. https://ao.managedmissions.com/MyTrip/lesliejohnson
The second option is this link through *spotfund which is in my personal account that will be applied as a donation as the payments are due. This donation would not be tax-exempt, however it will be refundable in the event that I can no longer attend.
I am more than happy to share more about this trip or answer any questions! Feel free to reach out (318) 658-8896. I am so excited for the experience and to see how The Lord is going to work through me and this team. Thank you for your prayers and support.
Sincerely
Leslie Johnson
