Merry Christmas everyone! This has been an amazing year and it has really flown by! To all of you reading this I want to say thank you for all the support you have given me over the past year, it has meant so much to me! As you know, I will be going to Panama for a month this summer! I would not be able to do it without your amazing help! As of right now, I am well beyond expectations and have already raised $2,100! Wow, God will provide! He has done amazing things in my life already, and I can't wait to see what He has in store for me next year, and next summer as I embark to Panama. I hope you all have a very merry Christmas and remember that the true meaning for Christmas, is to celebrate the coming of Jesus Christ and to remember the sacrifice He made for us. Again, I want to thank anyone and everyone who has supported me in anyway this year. Also I want to ask again for your prayer support for my trip this summer, I am very nervous, but also ready to go! I thank God for already providing for over half of my trip already!! Have a Merry Christmas and a happy new year!
God bless,
Chantry.

Well on my way...
I am so excited to go to Panama this summer! I've already seen God moving in AMAZING WAYS! This trip will not be possible though, without your support.
First off, I want to thank everyone who was supported me already in any way, donating or through the power of prayer. It means so much, and I wouldn't be able to go if it wasn't for you. Once again, THANK YOU!
I'm so excited to share the gospel with the people of the San Blas Islands and Darien Jungle in Panama. I will be there for a month, about a week and a half at each.
I am asking for some help to make it there, first and foremost, I ask for your support in prayer. It is very essential, I am going out of the country for the first time, and I will be there for a month. I am very nervous, and your prayers are greatly appreciated.
Also, you could support me by donating to me! My trip will be around $3,000 and I can't do it without your help! You could send a flat donation, or figure out others ways to support me. Such as setting up a can and putting change in it, or you could buy a bracelet from me, they are dark blue, and say share the love and are three dollars. You can look at my blog post about support on how to donate online. Any support is greatly appreciated! My goal by the end of the year is $2,000 and I am well on my way, but can't get there without your support!
In Christ,
Chantry.

Brainstorm...
Just some ideas in how to support me for my trip to Panama this summer...
1- The most important thing is your PRAYER SUPPORT! I will be in Panama for a month, and I will need a lot of prayer! I'm really nervous and very very excited about my trip, so your thoughts and prayers make a world of difference!
2- Financial help. My trip will be around $3,000 or even more! I can not reach this alone, I'm giving up a lot to even go on this trip, for my birthday & Christmas, I only ask for money for my trip. And I spend a ton of time thinking about getting all my money in. Right now, I need to get in $200 more by the end of October, and my goal for the end of the year is $2000. Your help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!
First, you could make a flat donation. You could send money to me, or send it straight to the company. To do that, you go to www.globalexpeditions.com then click on donate, and then click on search by missionary ID. My ID number is 2593060.This would help in amazing ways. Also all donations are tax deductible, and you can look at the website and find out some more information about it.
Also, I just got my bracelets in. They are blue and say share the love. They are three dollars, so it's an easy way to help out and you also get something out of it! If you want one, just talk to me or shoot me an email.

Another way to help, put out a can at your house or work and start putting change in it. Change adds up, and the little things do help! So save it for a month or more and send it on to me! I'm collecting change myself, and will take it to CFSB and get it all cashed and send it off for my trip!
3- Get the word out! I would love to talk to you more about it! Send me a message or talk to me about it sometime! I would love to tell you about how God is working in my life and how bad I want to go on this trip!
Thank you so much for the prayers, and support!
God bless,
Chantry Carroll.

How to help...
Dear friend,
I have recently made the exciting decision to go on a mission trip to the country of Panama with an organization called Global Expeditions. (www.globalexpeditions.com) For more than 20 years, they have taken thousands of teenagers to countries all over the world. This year, I’m will be in Panama for a month! We will be working in the Darien jungle and on the San Blas islands. God has placed passions in my heart for children and Latin America, so I’m putting my passions with my burdens and going to share God’s love with the people of Panama. I cannot think of a better way to spend my time than sharing the Gospel with others and seeing my life changed as well.
Panama is located in Central America where my team will be based out of the San Blas Islands for the first half of the trip, and then the Darien jungle for the second half of the trip. I will be leaving on June 13 and returning home on July 9. The entire trip, I will be busy ministering through teaching bible studies, practicing English in the local schools, helping locals with their daily tasks, and sharing God’s Word. The total cost of this trip is $2,487, which includes all expenses once I’m in Panama, such as food, accommodations, and basic essentials. It will not include my passport, transportation to headquarters in Texas to and from Murray, and also a fuel surcharge for my flight in Panama, so in the end my trip could be around $3,000 or even more.
I cannot accomplish this task alone, so I am asking you to be part of this mission trip with me. During the next several weeks, I will be working very hard to raise the finances to go. There are many different ways to help, first I ask for your prayers. I will be leaving the country and sharing God’s Word with others and I will be there for a month so it will be very hard. Also, your financial support would be a tremendous help. Whether you sit out a cup and fill it with change or send a flat donation, any amount will be greatly appreciated.
If you would like to support me in this opportunity, you can donate online by going to www.globalexpedtions.com, then at the top go to ‘Donate’, after that click support a missionary and click search by missionary ID. My missionary ID number is 2593060. All donations are tax deductible. Your support is a key part of seeing salvations on the field this summer. If you have any questions, please call me at (270)227-4624. You can also reach Global Expeditions at their Missions Supporter Hotline at 866.5.GLOBEX.
Thank you for your consideration. Your prayer and support are greatly appreciated!
God bless,

Beginnings.
So. This is my first blog. I just wanted to share some stuff with whoever reads this. This summer, I will be going on a mission trip for a MONTH, to the country of Panama. It is going to absolutely the time of my life. I'm really excited to see where God will lead me, and how He will use me. It's going to be great. I just wanted to start of kind of explaining my heart for the whole situation. This past summer, 2010, I went to Dallas, Texas on a two week mission trip and had the best time ever. On my trip, God really broke my heart. He gave me a heart for missions and I discovered how much I love dealing with children. I know that I am called to work with them, and also one of my passions is the Spanish language. I absolutely love it. I'm a little obsessed, but it's okay. haha. Anyways, I really love Latin America and so I was thinking about what to do this summer, 2011, and I knew I had to go on a mission trip. I mean, it's not like I would be doing anything better. Mostly I would be sleeping at home, or at my dad's work watching Golden Girls reruns, but that's a different story. I really just want to go and be the hands and feet of God. As Christians we are called to share the gospel with everyone, not just people in our hometowns, but all over the world. (See Acts 1:8)
So, I started praying on where God was leading me to go for next summer and I knew I should be somewhere where they spoke Spanish, and I knew I should be working with children. Putting my passions with my burdens. As this all came into play, I started really praying for direction on where to go from God. I looked on the Global Expeditions website (I went with them on Dallas Z 2010) and saw the Panama trips. I knew it was where I should go. I knew it was right. So here I am. Fifteen years old. Going out of the country for a month this summer. I'm not crazy. I'm doing what I know is right. I'm stepping out in my faith. One thing I have learned in all this process is how much you really need to rely and trust in God. Like my trip this summer will be over $3,000 and me myself can not raise that much money. That's why you have to trust and put all your faith in God, faith in Him isn't just 50 or even 99 percent. It's all or nothing. You have to believe. You have to be ready to give. So this summer, and in my daily life. I am going beyond myself. Essentially, beyond Chantry. That's all I have to say right now, more updates and just tid-bits of encouragement will come. :)
In Christ,
Chantry Carroll.
