It is
with great joy and excitement that I write this! I am thrilled to tell
you about all that God is doing in my life. I’m not quite sure where to begin...
Go into all the world and preach the
good news to all.
For the
last two years God has put Haiti on my heart. I have been blessed to be able to
serve those less fortunate on four short-term mission trips through an amazing
organization called Healing Haiti. From my very first trip I knew that Haiti
would always be apart of me. It is a place with so much poverty and despair but
yet brings me so much joy and fills me with love beyond measure.
Over
the last 8 months I have prayerfully considered serving in Haiti for a
long-term mission. Through many prayers, God continues to open up doors and
reveal Himself and the plans He has for me. Although there are still doors that
need to be opened, I am certain that God will provide everything that I need as
I follow His plan for my life. It is with overflowing joy in my heart that I am
excited to tell you that God has answered my prayers and is leading me to serve
in Haiti. I am currently planning on serving in Haiti for one year, but am
leaving it all up to God as to where this may lead me.
I am
so blessed and humbled to be working with the organization Healing Haiti and
serving the children and people of Haiti. As I begin this journey I would so
greatly love it if you would journey with me and help me to be the Hands and
Feet of Jesus in such a poverty stricken country. This is a journey that I
undoubtedly will need to be bathed in prayer every step of the way. I would
greatly appreciate it if you would pray for me as I prepare for this journey
and also throughout the year to come. I believe that God answers prayers and am
currently seeking prayer for;
- Continued guidance and wisdom as I prepare
- God would provide for me financially
- He would provide comfort to my family and friends that I will be leaving behind
- He would prepare my heart, soul and mind for the journey ahead
- I would follow His lead in all this and put my own agenda aside.
Knowing that I will be bathed in prayer gives me peace as I prepare for this exciting journey.
Beyond
your prayers, if you are led to join me by financially supporting me on this
journey, I would be grateful. I will be taking a year off from work to follow
God’s calling and know that in following God’s call He will provide for me in
all that I need. Please prayerfully
consider ways in which you may be able to support me as I follow God’s call to
be a missionary. Any level of support that you are able to provide is greatly
appreciated. (Please see attached for more details.)
I wish
I could put into words how excited I am to begin this journey and see all that
God has planned, not only for me but for the people of Haiti, and also my
friends and family members, and my many supporters. God is good!!
I hope
this finds you well and enjoying each day that God has so richly blessed
us with.
Bondye beni ou!
God bless you!
