“And I heard the voice of the Lord saying,
"Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?"
Then I said, "Here am I! Send me.” Isaiah 6:8

Hello! How are you? I hope that my letter finds you and your family well! I am contacting you to share about a missions trip that I will be serving on this summer.
From July 20 to July 27, I will be in Indonesia serving on a missions trip with my church "New Philadelphia" (newphiladelphiachurch.com). My team is made up of 13 servant-hearted people who are foregoing their vacation days and free time to go to this nation and display the love of Jesus Christ. We will be traveling around Indonesia to different towns and cities to give out medicine, to pray for the sick, and to host revival services.
I simply cannot put my excitement for this trip into any amount of words! God has been moving and doing wonders in my life and I want to go out and see the same impact in others spread throughout the entire country. Indonesia has a large population of Muslims and although Christianity is not illegal, Christians are frequently persecuted. It is my prayer that we will go into the country of Indonesia in the anointing of the Holy Spirit to bring Jesus' love and revelation to the people and to bring healing of all persecution. I also pray that we may bring the blind to see, the lame to walk, and for all diseases to disappear. In all these ways, Christianity will spread and become more accepted in this country.
I hope that you will share the enthusiasm and the heart I have for this nation. There are two ways in which you can partner with me on this missions trip. First, I'd like to ask you for prayer. 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 will be raising 625,000 KRW (approx. $550) to cover some of my trip expenses.
Thank you for your time and consideration!
God Bless,
Steven Coats
