Bellow is the official fundraising letter for my summer mission trip. Please keep me in your prayers!
______________________________________________________
Dear Friends and Family,
I hope this letter finds you well. As you know, I have spent the last few months asking God, “what’s next?” After months of prayers, God has begun to open doors for me to return to Austin, Texas this fall, where I hope to partner with a local church in reaching out to college students and young adults. God has also answered the question of what do I do in the mean time?
This spring I was approached by a local mission organization, Global Journey, about joining them in a unique summer mission trip. Global Journey sends young adults to countries all around the world, to help missionaries on the ground and to help the participants determine ways that God might use them all across the world. This year’s trip will make stops in India, Uganda, France and Nicaragua. My role on this trip would be to participate in serving the missionaries, and provide spiritual and cultural guidance to the participants.
I would like you to consider how you might be able to assist me in covering the cost of this trip. My goal is to raise $8000, which covers the cost of travel, lodging and food. By supporting me in this special opportunity, you’ll be comforting Indian orphans like those seen Slumdog Millionaire and sharing the gospel with the growing Muslim population of Europe.
I realize that many of us are suffering due to the financial struggles that have hit our country. If you are like me, it is sometimes hard to remember that God is the one who provides for us, recession or not! Remember that God loves a cheerful giver, and prayerfully consider if God wants you to help provide for this mission opportunity. Global Journey is a part of Hope for Life Ministries, a non-profit organization. You can give on-line at www.globaljourney.org or by mail at Hope for Life Ministry, 408 S. Seguin Ave., New Braunfels, TX 78130. Whether you can give fifty cents, or fifty dollars, anything will be appreciated.
Whether or not you can support me financially, I hope you will commit to pray for me and to follow this journey. You can contact me anytime at 512-461-9207 or at chrismorton82@gmail.com. I’ll be talking about this journey, as well as the rest of my adventures at my website www.chrismorton.info, or you can follow me on Twitter at www.twitter.com/chrismorton82.
I cherish the friendship God has given us, and I hope to hear from you soon.
Sincerely,
Chris Morton
