Dear friends and family,
I hope you all are doing well. I am currently a junior at Union County High in Maynardville, TN. Along with school, I teach the three year old Sunday school class at my church. School is going well. I have theatre and I am on the fast track to college. Church is going great as well. My children continue to amaze me with their knowledge of the bible and their bright smiles each Sunday. And as for the high school ministry at the church, I feel like I continue to excel in my relationship with Christ. Speaking of which, I feel like God is telling me to take his hand and trust him on my very first mission trip this spring break. My high school ministry is going to The Cherokee Indian Reservation in Cherokee, NC. I feel that God is calling me to be apart of this experience. This trip is over this spring break, March 15th through the 22nd and it costs $515. It would be a HUGE blessing if you could support me financially. If finances are unavailable, prayers, advice, and moral support is also greatly accepted. My key verse for this blog is Deuteronomy 20:4 "For The Lord your God is the one who goes with you to fight for you to give you victory." I want to add another. James 1:27 says, "Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after the orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world." Living on mission doesn't mean we have to fly all the way out to Africa or India, even though that is awesome and people are needed over there, missionaries are needed here in the US. If you can donate, please donate as much you can, but send your money to Providence Church, 1432 Lovell Road Knoxville, TN 37932. Please put my name on the envelope. Thank you all so much for your love and support. And again, please pray for a safe and wonderful trip for us!
With love,
Abbey
