Engage Church: 2015 mission trip
Donation protected
Dear Friends and Family,
Since the launch of Engage Church about 2 years ago, we have held to the truth that God has called us to Go to "the ends of the Earth" and share the good news. We now have a team of 7 signed up for a trip to Asia, leaving mid-May and returning 3 weeks later in mid-June.
Isn't it difficult to imagine being a person who has never had the opportunity to hear about who Jesus is and the freedom and peace he offers? Even as we prepare to go, we are in prayer about how to share the gospel with the people there. There are still a couple billion people in the world who have not even heard about Jesus! This can seem overwhelming for us, but our God is big and able, and a main part of his solution is us, both you and I, as his ambassadors to the world.
During our trip this year, we will be working primarily with college campuses, making relationships with students through sports and teaching English. We will also have opportunities to work briefly with an orphanage, a youth ministry and support those fighting human trafficking in the area.
Our trip is going to cost about $2000 per person. To not burden the people we'll be working with, our team is raising our own support to finance this trip. I am writing you to enlist your prayer and financial support. God has given us ALL a call to GO. This year may not be your trip, but I am counting on those of you He has called to support this year, to help in sending us on this trip.
Each team member is in charge of personally raising $500 towards the trip from friends and family, and then beyond this we are doing some group fundraising. We would be blessed if you can give in honor of an individual going or to the group in general. Please understand that I realize not everyone is called to help in every cause. I trust that you will hear God's voice and know if this is an area in which you can minister. If you can support us with gifts of $100 or $200, we'll make sure to thank you with some fun rewards, but even gifts of $25 or $50 would be helpful.
Either way, I know everyone is called to pray, and I would very much appreciate your prayer support. I plan to give regular updates and will write all of you again after we return and let you know how the trip went, so that you can share in praising God for the results that will come from it. Thank you for your involvement in the sharing of the good news.
If you prefer, checks can also be made out and sent to:
