Baja, Mexico!



Dear Friends and Family,
I hope this letter finds you all well and resting safely in the Lord’s hands!
I am writing to let you all know that I have recently decided to go to Mexico! I will be going with Global Expeditions and we will be building a home for a family. December 28th to January 4th is the time we will be gone. I have prayed about missions and have dreamed about them since before I can remember. I am so excited to see what the Lord is going to do in my life and the others we will be in contact with on this trip! I will fly out of Spokane on the 28th and land in San Diego where I will be meeting my team for the first time. We will do a bit of training, and then take a bus down into Baja, Mexico. While in Baja we will build a home for a needy family, do a children's program (VBS), and go door to door sharing the gospel with people that may have never heard of Jesus!
The total cost of this trip is around $1400. This amount covers the cost of airfare, guides, passport, insurance, food, stay, and the amazing experience! I have covered some of the initial costs myself, and during the next several weeks I will be working to raise the rest. I am asking you to be part of this trip through first, your prayers, and also to pray about helping me financially. The two biggest costs are the airfare and the fees required in Mexico. I am trusting the Lord and know that if He wants me to go He will provide the money. $1100 goes to Global Expeditions, an additional $300 is needed to pay other things such as passport, small personal fees, and supplies I am required to bring on the trip. If you would like to help with the financial needs, you can make a check out to me personally or to Teen Mania Ministries. Please put this on the memo line: ID# 2658299, then I will transfer the right amounts to where it is needed. Every bit helps and I hope you will also join in prayer! God is good and He is going to bring this all together! All your prayers are highly appreciated! Thank You!

Global Expeditions

The mission of Global Expeditions is to provoke a young generation to passionately pursue Jesus Christ and to take His life giving message to the ends of the earth and is dedicated to that mission and is effective and unique for several reasons:
1. Our focus is to preach Christ, so even though we have lots of opportunities for practical work and service on our trips, every teenager is taught how and given a chance to actually share the Gospel.
2. The leadership we recruit to serve on the field is committed to ministering to the teenagers themselves. The teens come to reach the nations, while our leaders know that mentoring young people will be a priority.
3. Our training and debriefing is absolutely world-class. Everything is designed to properly equip participants for effective outreach in a memorable and life-changing way.
The Global Partners we work with around the world share our vision and understand the importance of proper follow up, so that we are not an “in-and-out” ministry. Instead, the impact the missionaries have at each trip location is built on throughout the year!

About Me


Most of you know me pretty well but if not I will tell you a little bit about myself. I am 15 and I live in Ione, WA. My parents are Stan and Kristina Busby. I have 9 siblings and my mom is pregnant with Baby Busby #11. We live on 15 acres and have two horses, 26 chickens and a cat. I am blessed to have an amazing family. I have always dreamed about missions and I have a huge burden for the lost and hurting. My dream is Haiti but I believe that God called me to this trip, and Haiti will come later. I am hoping this will be the start of missions for my life. This of course is in the Lord’s hands. All I really want is the Lord’s will for my life and you can join in praying for me to follow all that He wants for me. I am praying this trip will all come together. Thank you for your prayers!
My Best and God Bless!
