Well hi everyone who is reading this! Thank you for taking the time out of your day to read my blog!! I will start out by introducing myself. My name is Chloe Howard and I am a 17 year old senior from Madison, Georgia. I have decided to commit to a nine month mission trip to Guatemala, Thailand, Cambodia, and South Africa! I will launch September of 2022!! You may be wondering why gap year. Why leave the country for nine months? Why leave your family and friends for nine months? Why leave what you know for nine months? Well i’m here to tell you why! 

The Lord has given me such a heart for serving and pouring into others. It is something that I enjoy so very much and it makes my heart overflow with joy! To be able to give out the love that the Lord has given to me is the sweetest gift. I love seeing others smile. 

I recently just got back from Guatemala with Adventures In Missions. I spent a month there with the most precious team and leaders and that experience really led me to my decision. I realized through that experience that the Lord wanted me to drop what I know and go. Go for Him. I realized then that i needed to abandon what I know so that I can know more than I could ever imagine. The Lord humbled me in so many ways while I was in Guatemala for a month so I can only imagine what He will do in nine months! 

I cannot wait to meet all my team mates and serve along side you all for nine months!!! LETS GO GOD! YOU ARE FOREVER GOOD AND I AM SO THANKFUL FOR THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY. 

Matthew 10:39- Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.
