Dear Friends and Family,

I hope this message finds you well! I’m excited to share that I will be traveling to Guatemala on a mission trip. We will be there from March 28, 2025, until April 4, 2025. I’m reaching out to ask for your support in this journey. The purpose of this trip is to help lead different activities with children in the village; connect with the community by sharing God’s love with them; as well as serving these families a hot meal each evening. We will have more opportunities to connect and get to know the people in this community by eating dinner with them each evening, delivering food and clothing to each family, and participating in construction projects. We will also get the chance to learn more about the values and culture in the region, as well as explore colonial ruins, visit markets, and museums in Antigua, Guatemala. I am eager to see how God moves in the hearts of all of the high school students going with me, but also to see how God will continue to move in my heart!

I truly believe that together, we can make a meaningful impact on the lives of those we serve. I look forward to my personal and spiritual growth, as well as the many ways God will develop and mature me.

I would be incredibly grateful if you would consider partnering with me through a financial donation to help fund this mission. There are a couple of ways you can get involved:

One-Time Donation: A single contribution toward the costs of the trip.

Pledges: If you're able to commit to multiple pledges over the course of the next few months, it would be incredibly helpful as I prepare for the trip.

Additionally, if you are interested, donations are eligible for a tax write-off by simply writing a check made out to North Coast Church. I will make sure to give you the necessary documentation to ensure you receive the appropriate receipt for your records.

To make donating as easy as possible, I've set up an online platform where you can donate directly and securely. Simply click the link below to contribute:

Or, if you prefer, you can send a “cash app” and “possibly Zelle” directly to me. (Please write in the notes area - Guatemala Donation.) Feel free to reach out if you need more information about the trip or how to donate.

I am so grateful for your support and for considering this opportunity to join me in making a difference. Your support, whether through prayer or financial help, means the world to me.

Sincerely,

Blake Wooten
