They're Coming...

Just wanted to let ya'll know that support letters are hopefully going out before the end of the month.  I've been working on these for a while now and I hope they'll give you a good idea of where I'm going, what I'm doing, and what ways you can walk with me in this ministry.  I've never raised support for anything before (not even a week-long mission trip, etc.) and so this is a new and challenging experience for me.  I don't like asking people for help, especially when money is involved.  But God is at work on me for good in this.  He's been challenging me that asking is quite appropriate when serving Him (Numbers 18:24; Luke 8:2,3; Matt. 7:7-8; 10:9-10; Acts 18:4-5; 1 Cor. 9:1-18), and that it gives others the opportunity to give.  So hopefully it won't be the worst support letter you ever receive.  Please consider what you can give and who you might be able to talk to about giving as well (your home congregation, friends, family, etc.).  It could make all the difference for a teenager in Newport.  Thank you so much for your willingness to give, your prayers, and your support!

P.S I may still be trying to find your address.  Especially if you live somewhere other than Raleigh, I probably still need your address.  Please message or e-mail that to me if you think I may not have your address.  Thanks!
