Dear Friends,

My name is AnnMarie, and I serve full-time with Columbus Relief as a missionary devoted to the Lord’s work. Like many missionaries, I rely on faith and the generosity of others to meet my living expenses while serving.

I am writing with a heavy heart. I recently received the heartbreaking news from Jamaica that my beloved mother, Carol, has passed away. She was a faithful missionary herself, serving God and His people in Jamaica for more than 20 years.

Although most of the funeral costs are covered, some unexpected expenses have arisen. It would be a tremendous blessing if you could help my family travel to Jamaica for the funeral. I have not seen my mother in 33 years, and it would be an honor to be there to celebrate her life and lay her to rest.

I am humbly asking for your prayers and, if you feel led, your financial support to help us give my mother the honorable home-going service she deserves. Carol devoted her life to sharing God’s love, and it would mean so much to my family and me to celebrate her life in a way that reflects her service and dedication.

If you feel moved to contribute, you can do so through

Every prayer, kind word, and contribution helps us more than you know.

Thank you for your love, support, and prayers during this time of grief. May God bless you abundantly.

With gratitude,

Annmarie
