Jennifer has taken a leap of faith to go on her first mission trip. She feels like God is leading her to take this trip and she trusts that he will provide the funds that she needs for this trip. Here is the letter that she will be sending some of you asking for your support through money and/or more importantly PRAYERS.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for being a part of my life and allowing me to grow spiritually. It is thanks to many of you that I have gotten the chance to go on a mission trip. We (me and a few students and adults from my youth group) are going to New York City on a mission trip this spring Break, April 6th to the 12th. We will be representing Noonday Baptist Church and the kind people at Park Slope Community Church will be providing us with housing for the week.
My team and I will have a variety of ministry opportunities that we will take part in. Our main goal while in New York will be to serve the Park Slope Community Church and other churches in the area by assisting with evangelism including street and park presentations, backyard bible clubs, small service projects and other things of that nature.
However, with every great opportunity, there comes a price. The leaders at Noonday Baptist Church have tried their hardest to keep the price down, but New York is an expensive place. The cost for everyone attending is $700. I am writing this letter to most humbly ask you that if the Lord has called you to support me in this effort, that you open your heart and help me, either financially or through prayer. Even $25 can make a difference.
I want to be involved in this mission trip because of my strong love for the people of that beautiful city. I have always been intrigued by the city of New York and all the new beginnings and chances it gives people. I know that many people in New York are in need of our Lord and Savior, and I would be honored if I could change even one life for the better. I feel that God is calling me to this trip so that I can not only help others learn about Christ, but also so that I can grow in him.
Thank you so much for helping me in my spiritual journey!
Jennifer Jones
