Hello everyone!! We have officially been in Romania for about four weeks! God has blessed this time and has shown me new things. Before I write about anything else, I wanted to thank all my supporters!! As many of you know, I had to raise $18,700 in a year in order to do the World Race. God has shown me of His faithfulness throughout my support raising and I am still in awe of His goodness.

Thank you to each of you for your prayers, financial support, and words of encouragement. Without any of those, I would not be here! So thank you, I am so grateful to each of you. I was able to meet my financial goal of $18,700 to help pay for international travel, ministry support and supplies, logistical set-up for travel and finances, health insurance, arranged lodging, budget for meals, local transportation, training, and discipleship.

Many of you saw my fundraisers and saw my updates leading up to my launch. I was able to share my story, and so many of you were so willing to give. God definitely was faithful during my fundraising journey. There is nothing too impossible for the Lord, so that amount of money was nothing for Him!

I wanted to thank you all for taking time to pray for me. I wanted to thank you for the encouraging words. For those of you who have been walking alongside me throughout this journey. For those of you who gave financially and have helped me reach my goal, thank you! Because of your prayers and giving, I am able to step into my calling. I am able to reach people and to be the hands and feet of God. Not only do your prayers and giving allow me to do missions work, but it also allows me to lean into God and grow in my faith with Him. It allows me to see how God is working in each country. Your support allows me to reach the villages of Guatemala and evangelize in the streets of Romania, and so much more fruit will come in the rest of the countries.

It has been so encouraging to see people believe in my calling to missions. So from the bottom of my heart, thank you all!! The Kingdom of God is growing and I want to encourage you by telling you that I am seeing it first hand.

Thank you for supporting me from miles away. For reading my blogs, watching my videos, and encouraging me! I also wanted to reach out and ask you, if you would like to continue to support a missionary and offset the cost of living necessities, I would be more than grateful! I will continue to need some of the living necessities. Such as shampoo, soaps, laundry costs and any extra needs that would come up. If you do feel led to continue to give, it would not be through my giving donation link, but instead my personal account. My Venmo is Joana-Quintana or I do have Zelle through my phone number, 720-483-8147. Thank you so much for your continued support and your love!

*For my donors who have signed up to give monthly. Since I am fully funded through the World Race giving page, you will have to go through and “unsubscribe” from giving. This will mean that your giving will end through my donation page because any overflow will go into Adventures in Mission, and not directly to me. Thank you all again! Much love from Craiova, Romania!

Blessings,

Joana Quintana
