Help send me to Ethiopia!

I would like to share with you an opportunity that I am very excited to experience. Shortly (November 5-14), I will be embarking on a trip to Ethiopia with a lovely group of individuals (including my fantastic boyfriend Karl) from Calvary Lutheran church. This will be my first mission trip, and I am beyond excited to see what God brings for us. We hope that this trip will be a life changing experience for not only ourselves but also others that we come in contact with and work alongside. During this trip, we are going to reach out and spread the news about Christ, serve the community, work with children in need, and much more!
I am writing this letter to ask for your support and prayers. My goal is to raise $600 to attend this mission trip (we will be fundraising to hopefully fulfill the rest of the cost). Right now, I am asking for prayer and emotional support. If you would like and are able, please donate toward this great experience I get to partake in. However, I realize that not everyone is able to do so, so any amount that you feel able to give would be greatly appreciated.
I have faith that if it is God's will for us to go on this mission trip that He will see that our financial needs for the trip are met.
Please pray for me and others as we prepare for this mission. We are praying that through this trip people will see the love of Christ, the eternal joy that He supplies, and are touched in someway.
Thank you for allowing me to share with you what will hopefully be one of the most meaningful experiences of my life. If you cannot help in a financial way, please consider supporting me with your prayers.

Thanks so much! God bless,
Chantel
