Humbled

 

Below is the letter written to few friends and family. I am humbled by the amount of people asking to "send" me, wanting more of the details of my trip. Below I've outlined prayer requests and needs in order for me to go. Thank you for your love and support! My prayer is this: "And so, from the day we heard, we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God." 1 Colossians 1:9-10

Dear Friends and Family,

It is with delight I write and share with you my plans to travel to Kigali, Rwanda in October this year to serve with Harvest Community Church in the Village of Mugina.

Mugina was adopted by Harvest three years ago to work with the survivors of the 1994 Rwanda genocide. The genocide and war in the small nation of Rwanda resulted in over 1,000,000 brutal deaths in less than 100 days. Extreme poverty haunts these survivors who lost spouses, children, parents, siblings and all their possessions.

We’ll be serving alongside Solace Ministries who has been working with the Rwanda widows and orphans for 14 years. Solace Ministries was established as a way to comfort, encourage, train and educate the survivors while sharing the love of Christ by being His hands and feet.

As I plan my personal finances and time to allow me to participate in this trip, I realize that I need to ask for others to partner with me. I believe He is drawing more to join in this mission and I humbly extend an invitation for you to join me as well.

Prayer: We need many people to pray for the team. Pray that God would use me to speak truth in love.

Financial Support: In order to make this trip a reality, I need help to cover the $2,800 cost of the trip.

Please let me know if you’ll be able to partner with me in any way. If you would like to be part of this mission through your financial support, you can make a check payable to Eternal Benefits and send it directly to me. All contributions are tax deductible.

I am excited to see all that God is doing and going to do in Rwanda!

In His Name,

Amanda
