Dear Family and Friends,
We are writing to invite you to become a partner in an exciting missionary journey to Detroit, Michigan and Bemidji, Minnesota.
At the end of June, our family began staffing the Family Discipleship Training School (DTS) here at Youth With A Mission (YWAM) in Tyler, TX. This summer, the Lord brought 5 families to our school (9 adults & 12 kids). Together, we are learning how to walk closer in relationship with the Lord and share Jesus with others, encouraging them to do the same. Our purpose at YWAM is “to know God and make Him known.”
Part of our training involves the practical application of what God has been teaching us, so on September 17, our outreach will officially begin. Neil and I were asked to lead a team of 3 families, which we’re doing as a family-
Some of the ministry opportunities include:
- Facilitating (with our kids doing much of the planning & leading) an evangelistic outreach, geared toward kids through a local church near our YWAM base.
In Detroit, MI –
- Partnering with a ministry to friends with special needs, helping winterize their farm and preparing products for ministry baskets used to bless several area group homes.
- Connecting with neighbors of YWAM Detroit and neighborhood park evangelism.
- Serving the growing YWAM base, as they undergo construction and grow as a ministry.
In Bemidji, MN-
- Running a VBS program at a church located on a nearby reservation
- Various service projects around the christian camp we will be staying, while we serve.
- Local evangelism in the city of Bemidji.
Like each of our student-families, we are responsible to pay for our own expenses to be a part of this outreach. As a family, we need to raise $7699. Would you prayerfully consider playing a role in impacting the people of Detroit and Bemidji through prayers and financial support?
Whatever the Lord leads you to give toward this outreach will be gratefully received. We will need all of our funds before September 10. As you give, the people of Detroit and Bemidji will be reached by the love of Jesus.
We will be traveling from September 20 – November 5. We covet prayers for effective ministry, team unity, and safe travels. Personally, please pray for our kids as they juggle school during this season of travel & ministry. Also for Neil and I as we lead — that we would lead by the Holy Spirit — for clear thinking, and clear direction; for strength, and grace .
Thank you for partnering with us as we GO! Whether in prayer, financial, or both, we’re so thankful for your support of this outreach.
