Help Tyler Get to Beautiful Gate
Hello friends, family, and strangers alike! For those of you who don't know me, my name is Tyler Robbert. I love Jesus Christ and I'm seeking to do what I can to be a part of furthering His Kingdom. That's why you're reading this!
God
is doing incredible things in my life and in the world! I want to invite you to be a part of an opportunity I have to be a small part of the work He is doing
in Lesotho, Africa! Come September, I will be moving to Lesotho to volunteer in
an orphanage called Beautiful Gate. My main role will be loving the kids so
that they come to know the love of their heavenly Father. I'm so excited to
respond to this call on my life, and as I prepare to do so I have been
prayerfully hoping that God might be calling others to partner in this ministry
with me too. I have made a one-year commitment to Beautiful Gate and I will be
serving as a full-time volunteer.
Why Lesotho?
Beautiful
Gate Lesotho's mission is "to glorify God by providing opportunities for
children and families to grow spiritually, emotionally, physically, and
intellectually." Since it began, Beautiful Gate has given hope to over 350
children.
Though
I have never personally been to Lesotho or Beautiful Gate, I was introduced to
this ministry in my work at The River CRC in Redlands, CA this past summer. Since
then God has brought it to my attention time and time again in remarkable ways.
It's a call I strongly feel God placing on my heart and, although it will push
me far outside of my comfort zone, I cannot ignore it. It will be a massive
leap of faith, but I trust that where God guides, He provides.
What will I be doing?
1.
Prayer. This is
truly the most important part. I would not be in the position I'm in now if not
for months of careful prayer and I won't be able to move forward without it
either. I have assembled a team of people who have committed to praying for me
regularly, but I would greatly appreciate any and all additional prayer. Would
you be willing to pray for me frequently?
2.
Finances. In order for
this dream to become a reality I need to raise $23,000 for the year. This money
will cover housing and living expenses, travel costs, and student loan
payments. I would deeply appreciate any gifts to make this possible. Would you
consider supporting this work financially?
If you feel like this may
be an opportunity you might want to engage in, I would urge you to be in prayer
about it.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read and learn a little bit about what God has placed on my heart. I have never raised a sum of money this large before, but I trust that by God's grace and with your help this will not be a stumbling block for my mission. Thank you again, and may God's blessings be upon you!
In Christ,
<>< Tyler
