Hi friends!!

If you were part of my journey in 2025, you already know how deeply the World Race Expedition impacted my life. Because of your generosity, encouragement, and prayers, I was able to step into something that stretched my faith, shaped my heart, and changed the way I see the world. I’m still so grateful for each of you who gave, followed along, and believed in what God was doing.

Since coming home, I’ve entered a really sweet new season of life.

I’ve planted roots in Sarasota, Florida, and found a church community at Harbour Church that has been such a gift. I have also stepped into a new position as a Community Awareness Liaison at Selah Freedom, where I have the opportunity to raise money and spread awareness about the realities of sex-trafficking.

The start of this year has been a time of healing, growth, and learning what it looks like to live in the abundance the Lord has for me, not just overseas, but right here in my everyday life. Getting plugged into community, serving locally, and continuing to walk out my faith has been such a gift.

Through my incredible new church, I have been gifted the opportunity to go on a new mission!

This summer, I’ll be heading to Nicaragua for a week-long mission trip with my church, where we’ll be helping build homes for families in need. I am so in awe of God's goodness in the way He is providing me with such an incredible opportunity to go back on mission in the context of an amazing new community. He is so good!

I am trying to raise $1,900 to cover the cost of this trip. I am so incredibly blessed to have had this army of supporters behind me who helped financially support over $20k for the World Race last year. I would be so grateful if you would consider partnering with me once again.

If you feel led to give, you can send support through my Venmo: Amanda-Born-1

No matter what, I would be so grateful if you would partner with us in prayer as we head out on this trip.

Prayer Requests:

• For our team- safe travels and good health.

• For the families we’ll be serving.

• For all that God wants to do through this trip.

Thank you again for being part of my story. I am still so in awe of the way God has moved through each one of you. I’m excited to share updates along the way and let you see how this next step unfolds.

Hugs and Prayers,

Amanda
