Hi m’dear brothers and sisters in Christ,

           
This past year has been a crazy one with God doing things that I couldn’t even
imagine of. After going to Nicaragua this past summer, God gave me a bigger
confirmation that my heart is for missions. By His grace, I was able to take
the fall semester off and do NYC missions. Throughout the semester, He broke my
heart even more for those that are oblivious of His love. Recently, I withdrew
from Ithaca College. In less than two months, I will be taking online classes
from Liberty University with a Biblical Studies major. In the fall, I will be
attending a Bible College and pursue what He has called me to do. I am still
praying for direction in what type of ministry I will be studying/serving.

           
Starting the end of February/beginning of March, I will start training for
summer missions. God hasn’t led me to a specific country yet but it will be
either Nicaragua, Cambodia, Zambia, Japan or Argentina. In the country, my team
and I will be visiting our sponsor sites where our church sponsors many
children. We will be teaching them many different bible stories and leading
them to know more about His saving love and grace.

           
In order to do all of this, God has been telling me that I must be in constant
prayer. Prayer is so powerful. Knowing that He can use a sinful person like me
to spread His gospel brings me to my knees. My heart never ached so much to be
holy. I thirst to be more Christ-like and I yearn to display His love through
my words and my actions. I realize that I am so weak without His touch. It
would mean a lot to me if you could truly join my mission and support me
through prayer. Please pray that God will tell me so clearly which country He
wants to use me in. Also, please pray for humility for it’s all by the grace of
God that I am able to do all of this.

           
Another way you can support me is through donations. Your donations would help
me be able to travel to the country and supply materials to help the church and
its people. All of your donations is not for me to keep but to help advance His
kingdom. My mother is only letting me go to missions if I can raise support
before training starts. We serve Jehovah Jireh- the God of provision. I have
confidence that He will provide if it’s His will. Depending on the country I go
to, I need to raise at most $3,500 by March. At first, I was feeling a bit
discouraged by the impossibility of it all but I know that with God, nothing is
impossible. You can give donations electronically on http://pledgie.com/campaigns/16637.

The Great Commission: “Therefore go and
make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of
the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have
commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
–Matthew 28:19-20 – I really hope and pray that I can travel to different
countries to truly share the Good News with everyone. We don’t have to go out
of the country to be on missions for we all have different callings. Keep in
mind that everywhere is your mission field and that we are all called to
constantly demonstrate who He is to those around us. Please let me know how I
can be praying for you for I am more than willing to intercede on your behalf.

All the Glory to God..always,

Kat
