BIG NEWS!
I’M MOVING!
You may remember, last year the first country I went to while on The World Race was Guatemala, also a country I had previously travelled to on my first ever mission trip in 2018. The Lord has made it abundantly clear of the next step to walk in. The dream I have carried the last few years, and partly gave excuses from pursuing, is finally happening and I now get to live it out being a full time missionary in one of my most favorite countries, GUATEMALA!
I am so excited to share more about this yes to God! To share both the excitement and reality of what going overseas full time looks like and the vision that God has given me. I can’t wait for all that the Lord will teach me as I am raised up by local missionaries to one day lead in my calling!
The best is yet to come!
And YOU are invited to be a part of this with me! Here are a few ways you can partner with me and join God in how He is working in Guatemala!
PRAY. Please pray for me in this transition. I am currently working through a lot of logistical things and soaking in my time at home as best as I can! Pray for wisdom, humility, and boldness as I prepare to move.
DONATE. God will provide. He’s done it every time and He will do it again, but His provision comes through His people. I am in need this time of monthly partners. If this is something you would be willing to pray about, reach out to me and I can set up a time to call or meet with you to share more information about why I want to be a full time missionary in Guatemala. If you are ready to donate or partner with me right now you can visit www.worldoutreach.org/999 to give online or message me for alternative giving methods.
CONNECT. If you know of anyone who may want to support missions, and be a part of joining God in the work He is allowing me to be a part of in Guatemala, I would love to connect with them!
HOST. As scripture says, we are to “recount the deeds of the Lord”. I would love to testify of the ways God worked both in me and through me this past year on The World Race. If you are interested in hosting a gathering where I could share about what the Lord has done and what is next to come, reach out to me, I would be honored to testify!
I will soon be switching over to another platform to send out monthly newsletters in the future so you should receive a similar email through that platform. If you decide that you no longer want to follow these updates, simply unsubscribe to the following email. I hope that you have enjoyed being a part of this adventure though, it has been an honor to have you as part of the team!
For those who followed me on my World Race journey, supported me financially, or covered me in prayer, THANK YOU. Over the last two weeks of being home I have been filled with much encouragement from those saying they were following my journey or actively praying for me. This has truly been a blessing to know that I have an army of people pursuing this mission WITH ME. Thank you!
Lastly, I have a new home office for financial support. As stated previously, to donate online please visit www.worldoutreach.org/999 as this will be where all my donations going forward will be held. Praise the Lord! Thank you again for being a part of The Great Commission!
With much love,
Ashley Dusek

Yay!!! I’ve been patiently, we’ll ok a little impatiently lol waiting to know what it is. You did mention Guatemala. I am so super happy for you as I am in the waiting ontheLord for my own journey. I love you sister!!
WOW!! Moving! GUATEMALA! I had to read it twice to make sure I understood ha-ha. So excited for you on this next big journey and step into your faith and missions. I will be praying most definitely for you and your family. Can’t wait to follow along with you and live through the experience with your blog.
First, seeing you yesterday at AIT was one of those “God Moments”! I was seeing a very special sweet friend that I had not seen in person for almost an entire year!!! Only God can make me speechless!!! So many emotions washed over me in nanoseconds, and I was rooted to the spot! If I stuttered it was from SURPRISE! You looked wonderful and your smile was radiant!!!
Next, this “Moving” word does NOT surprise me!!! NOT AT ALLLLLL! Something I read between the lines of your journey posts told my God-focused heart that you were really being prepared for His work in the neediest parts of the world. Guatemala captured your attention from the very beginning! And God continues to nurture your spirit for its people and their need for HIM!
Last, but of course NOT least, is the fact that you are following your Christian heart to take God’s word to those who might NEVER know of it without YOU there to show them the Way, the Truth, and the LIGHT!
I was your very first Sunday School teacher as a toddler! How can I not choke up to think that you are now a grown woman of Christ and moving out into His world to serve His people.
I will ALWAYS love, Ashley!!!
