Dear friends and family,

We are officially in full swing into summer and ministry preparation!

I had such a sweet end to the school year, filled with many tearful and heartfelt goodbyes as I wrapped up my time at Vibrant Minds. What a gift it is to love and be loved.

As soon as school was out for the summer, I was off to the mountains! I had an incredible road trip that included backpacking in Yosemite, camping in Kings Canyon, and driving along California's beautiful Highway 1 on the Central Coast. Although this trip was originally planned with a friend, she got sick, so I ended up going solo. However, I picked up my friend Pearson for the last two nights of camping in Big Sur. The whole trip was incredible and served as a significant reminder of God's grace in my life and how abundantly blessed I am. I am just so thankful.

Now that I'm back from my first summer adventure, I'm jumping feet first into logistics and fundraising for the World Race. Praise the Lord—I am currently 7% fundraised! I am so grateful for the people who have already chosen to partner with me, and I am excited to see how God continues to provide. This week, I'm scheduling visits so I can share one-on-one about the ministry God has called me to. If you'd like to meet up, I would love to connect—please let me know!

Next week, on July 8, I'll be boarding a plane to Ireland for two weeks! While I'm there, I'll get to visit my grandma and other family members, as well as travel around the country with my friend Esther. I've been looking forward to this trip for a long time, but I'll admit I'm a little nervous about how it cuts into my fundraising time. Even so, I am trusting that the God who has called me into this ministry will also provide the people whose hearts and hands are ready to help make it happen. That might be you!

Please partner with me in prayer for:

• That God's grace would be so evident as I walk through this season.

• Wisdom for all the practical steps and logistics as I prepare to launch into the mission field.

• That God would continue providing financially and opening doors for new partnerships.

• That I would continue growing in trust and dependence on Him throughout this season.

Thank you again for being part of this journey with me. I am incredibly grateful for every prayer, message, conversation, and act of support. It is such a gift to have people walking alongside me as I step into this next season of ministry.

With love and gratitude,

Hannah Mahony
