Going to Mexico!

Hello!


I am very excited to tell you about a missions opportunity that I will be part of this summer.


I will be going to Chihuahua Mexico to serve with LightShine Ministries for 10 days from July 11-18th. 


During this trip we will help support the LightShine staff as they continue their work with the Tarahumara people. The Tarahumara are an indigenous people group to Mexico that have moved to cities as the world around them changes. In 2017, they had little to no access to the gospel. 


I am excited to report that there is now a church and a solid group of believers within this people group! But God has so much more in store!


My team will be meeting with our children sponsors and working alongside LightShine staff as they host an after school kids program. 


I have a personal investment in this part of the world as I am a sponsor for Rosa, a 14 year old girl. We have been writing letters for about a year now and I am looking forward to meeting her in person.


My first request is that you pray for me and the team as we prepare to go down to Mexico. Please pray that God would provide unity within our team, that our trip would be fully funded and that we would have many opportunities to share the gospel during our trip.


I am looking for 5 people to commit to praying for the team and I. If you would like to be part of this prayer team, please let me know and I will send you monthly updates as to how to support the team through prayer.


Secondly, I ask that you consider donating to help me travel to Mexico. We will be responsible for our own travel and in-country costs so your financial gifts are much appreciated. The total cost for this trip is $1,300.00. But beyond travel costs, financial gifts will be utilized to support Lightshine, the sponsor children, as well as the missionaries.


If you can donate financially, please make checks payable to Grace Community Church with my

name/Mexico notated on the check. These checks can be sent to 11611 Belair Rd. Kingsville, MD 21087. Donations can be given directly to me or you can give online by going to http://gracecommunity.org/give. Select “Mexico Missions Trip” and put my name in the memo box. All money donated is tax deductible.


Thank you for considering partnering with me through prayer and finances. I am excited to see how God works through this trip and the different ways I will grow in my faith and deepen my understanding of how to live a life that reflects Jesus’ grace.


May God bless you and keep you!


Lots of Love,

Leona
