Hey friends of Jesus,
It looks like I'm going to Europe this January! The apostle Paul encouraged me to take along travel companions so my buddies Brittany Tierney and Caroline Reeves are coming along as well. This will be an exploratory journey for all of us, a two week trip to investigate opportunities in refugee outreach, see what the needs are and how we might fit in to serve God meeting those needs.
For me, I'm hoping to establish some relationships that will lead to an open door to serve long term. For Brittany and Caroline, this will be more of a go and see trip, to discern more specificaly what kind of ministry they may be called to, how they take to different types of outreach and where and when God would lead them.
I've made some contacts thru mutual missionary friends who are willing to escort us on their outreaches, show us what God is doing in their corner of the world and hopefully allow us to participate in bringing Jesus to some of the least reached people of the world.
Just in case you hadn't heard, there are thousands of migrants coming in to cities all over Europe. Many are very open to the gospel and are eager to talk about Jesus, having not heard much about this mysterious man who lived a life of love and sacrifice. I have been interested in talking to a few of them for quite a while now. I'm so glad to have found some solid field workers to partner with in this important ministry.
As you can hopefully see by the map, we're planning on going to Marseille and Nantes in France, London, England and Glasgow, Scotland. These are all places with a high population of migrants and a few faithful brethren aiming to invite them into a relationship with God.
Prayer needs :
Ask God to firm up the details quickly so I can purchase tickets at a good price soon.
Ask God to speak to each of us about His will while on the mission trip.
Ask God to use us to lead people to Christ.
Ask God to open the windows of heaven to provide for this trip.
Any monetary donations that come in this month will go toward getting the three of us to Europe. You're welcome to give thru my sending agency.
Blessings to you all
Sally
