I am thrilled to share with you about my first opportunity to stay for a period of time on the mission field! I am heading back to India on January 5, 2010 to stay for close to 4 months. I am very excited about serving in various ways in the state of Andhra Pradesh. Although I don’t know exactly what my time in India will look like, the pastor I will be working with cares for over 100 kids in a children’s home on the property where I’ll be staying, oversees many pastors from around the region, pastors a large church, runs a Bible college and is preparing to open a Christian primary school next year! Most recently, they have been involved in providing relief to those in the surrounding area devastated by flooding last month. I know that there are a lot of things that will keep me busy, but my main goal in going is to love these people however I can so that through me they would encounter the love of God!!!
I ask that you prayerfully consider partnering with me as I go. I am needing commitments for both financial and prayer support over the next 7 months. Financially, I need to raise about $4000 total for trip costs and monthly support while I am there. By December 1, 2009, I need to have received close to $2000 for the tickets to be purchased. If you feel led to be a part financially, post a comment requesting more information. For prayer support, I am looking for partners that will commit to pray regularly (weekly or monthly) throughout the next 7 months. I have about 2 months to prepare and will be in India about 4 months so am asking for prayer cover from now through May. Please let me know if you are interested in praying for me whether it’s one day each week, or a specific day each month. I will be sending out more information with specific points of prayer as I get ready to go and while I am there. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you so much!
Loving Him by serving them,
Carol
