Dear Family and Friends,
I am writing to share with you an exciting opportunity that God has placed on my heart.
As I strive each day to live a life pleasing to God I am learning what it means to “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.” (Mark 12:20). I have also been presented with a chance to be the hands and voice of Christ as part of a team from my church, The Hubbard Church of the Nazarene, serving on an 8-day work & witness mission trip to Westmoreland, Jamaica.
The trip is scheduled for November 15 through November 22, 2008. The cost is $1200 per team member, which covers airfare, food, lodging, and any necessary tools and materials required to complete our work. Each team member is responsible for raising their own financial and prayer support.
The purpose of the work and witness trip is to join with our Jamaican brothers and sisters in Christ to help rebuild churches that are deteriorating and have been damaged by recent hurricanes, and to share the love of Jesus with the residents in these neighborhoods through our work and by visiting with them in their homes.
Please pray for us that:
1.) God will open the hearts of the Jamaican people.
2.) That there will be unity among our work and witness team
3.) And that God would work in and through me by providing strength to complete the work and that He would give me His words to share His message of love.
I am very excited about this trip! Please consider becoming a vital part of this opportunity with me as God leads you to pray for and/or give to this mission. Financial support is essential to my going on this trip, but of greater importance is your commitment to pray for me and the team.
Let me thank you in advance for you prayer and support as together we obey the Lord’s command by responding to His Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20).
In His service,
David
