Hi, friend!
I'm glad you chanced upon this link today. Why? Read on :)
MY
MISSION
I have been selected to lead a 9-person team from my church,
New
Philadelphia, on a missions trip to Indonesia this summer. We
have an ongoing relationship with a Bible college in West
Papua. Our team will be leading a retreat at the Bible
college, in addition to a week of prayer meetings and revival
services in Manokwari (see red
circle below).
WHY DOES THIS
MATTER?
I first led a team to West Papua in 2010. Our missions team made
it a point to pray for the sick wherever we went. In the Bible,
90% of Jesus' ministry was healing the sick. So as followers of
Christ we stepped out in faith, we prayed, and over the course of
one week, there were 100+ testimonies of
physical healing! It was humbling and amazing-
the Bible was literally coming to life.
FAST FORWARD TO
2013
Now three years later, I know that God is going to show His love
in new and greater ways to West Papua. He
especially has a great plan for the Bible college students.
Following Jesus is safe in South Korea or North America, but
Christians are a persecuted minority in Indonesia. I want to see
these future ministers walking out their faith in full freedom,
established in their identity as
children of God, and equipped to not only do what Christ did,
but
even more.
YOUR
ROLE
I would like to invite you to join me on this mission, both in
prayer and finances. I need prayer partners as I lead my team,
especially during the trip dates of July 23 to Aug
1. Second, I need to raise money to go! Big churches in
big cities often foot the bill for visiting ministers. But for
West Papua, each member is fundraising the cost of their own
airfare, food, and lodging (about 1,600,000krw per person). I
have put in a personal deposit of 200,000krw towards the trip
cost and must fundraise the remaining
1,400,000krw (approx. $1,225) by July
22. If you click on "Add to Basket" to the top left of
this page, there's also a PayPal option available :)
I ask that you prayerfully consider the possibility of partnering
with me. Freely we have all received, and now let us
freely give, and be expectant for great testimonies in West
Papua this summer!
Love always,
Lisa
