Dear loved one,

Can you imagine being a small child and losing your parents and entire village
to a ravenous disease? This heartbreaking event has really occurred and God
has led me to go to this place and bring comfort to those left behind. I’m
writing my dearest friends and family and asking for support on this endeavor.
I will be leaving on July 17 and will return on August 2nd. I will be joining the
Morning Light Baptist Church on a trip to the Sudan.

During our time, we have a few goals we want to meet.

 Build an orphanage for the children

 Make clinic rotations through the camp
 Comfort and feed the remaining villagers
 Teach the Sudanese about Christ
 Build relationships with nearby Christians asking them to continue our
work

I need your help to make this happen. The cost of my trip to the Sudan is
$3,000. Can you give any amount to help me reach my destination? Even if
you can’t, I ask for your prayers before and during my trip. If you can give,
please send your check to: Morning Light Baptist Church. I’ve included my
picture and an enevelope in this letter. The envelope is pre addressed with the
church’s address. The picture is me! I ask you to place my picture on your
refrigerator so you will remember to pray for me every day.

Thank you in advance for all you are doing!

God bless you!
