hmm..when i finished writing my support letter for missions, i was debating on whether to give it out to everyone or to those who wanted one.. i felt bad giving them to people w/o asking them..? i dunno why, don't ask me.. maybe it's another one of my insecurities..anyway, my sister brought it up to me that i should at least just share my support letter to everyone and then whoever wants to support me, they will..i should not feel bad about it.
so...here is my support letter :) God bless...
"How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the One in which they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written, 'How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news.'" - Romans 10:14-15
I am currently a sophomore at Tufts University, MA. Although I was nervous to venture out to Boston all alone, God has been by my side throughout the past two years. He opened my eyes to the things I have overlooked in the past. Last winter break, I attended Oil 2003, a Christian conference in PA. While I was there, I learned the importance of being a servant rather than a leader. God also taught me about serving by allowing me to be a teacher assistant in my church’s Youth ministry. I realized that by humbling myself and serving others, I can learn so much from them: patience, love, and understanding.
After attending Oil, I felt a tugging in my heart to step out of my comfort zone. There are so many unfortunate people with half the resources I take for granted. This summer, God has called me for missions and opened up an opportunity for me to be one of His servants. I am very thrilled to tell you that I will be part of Korea Campus Crusade for Christ (KCCC) missions team.
As of now, I am part of the KCCC missions team to Cambodia. Cambodia, otherwise known as “land of tears” is a country in Southeast Asia. Ever since the Khmer Rouge, poverty, death, violence, and starvation have taken over the country. Also, 87% of the population practice Buddhism and the few Christians remaining are being persecuted. Therefore, there is a great need there for us to reach out and tell them about Jesus Christ.
Before leaving for Cambodia, our team will attend a conference in Korea from June 30th to July 4th for training. Afterwards, for about four weeks until August 1st, we will be interacting with the native students by teaching them English and other activities. Through the times we spend with them, we hope to build personal relationships in order to share the Gospel and our testimonies.
In addition to your prayers, I also ask for your financial support. Each team member is responsible for raising $2,800 which covers all expenses. I pray that you will join me in this exciting opportunity through prayer and financial support.
Thank you so much for your support and God bless!
In Him,
Young-Hae
