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,
Chantry Carroll
