Arise and Shine for your light has come
and the glory of the Lord rises upon you.
Nations will come to your light, and kings
To the brightness of your dawn.
Isaiah 60:1, 3
Greetings! How are you? I hope this letter finds you and your family healthy and rejoicing in the Lord! I would like to take this time to share with you about a missions trip that I’ll be serving in this summer.
From July 26 to August 2 I will be in General Santos, Philippines serving on a missions trip with my church “New Philadelphia” (newphiladelphiachurch.com). I am part of an amazing team that consists of 13 servant hearted people who are giving up a part of their summer to go to my country and show the love of Jesus Christ. When we are there we will be leading an Orientation Retreat for the students of Faith Bible Institute and we will be releasing the inheritance of New Philly to strengthen these students and further establish them in their calling! As well as ministering to these students at services in the General Santos area.
I am so excited to go on my first missions trip ever. God has always given me a heart for missions, but close many doors beforehand. This time He has paved the way for me to go. I am looking forward to being sent out with these gifted individuals to reveal joy and freedom, and establishing the people of my country in their calling.
I hope you share my enthusiasm to go on this journey. I am not being sent alone, but with your encouragement and support. There are two ways in which you could partner with me on this missions trip. First, I’d like to ask for your prayers. If you go to facebook.com/newphilly, there will be daily updates from the field of our team’s progress so you can pray specifically. Secondly, I am asking for your financial support. The total cost of the trip is 1,000,000krw. I will need to raise 500,000 KRW to cover some of the trip expenses. If you feel led to partner with me financially, you can do it here!
Thank you for reading!
In Him,
Marie Suazo
