I will be updating my blog more and more in the next few weeks and then keep it updated while I am there. For now I am just posting my support letter - soon I will give MORE details!
GET EXCITED!
“Hannah! This is EXACTLY what we have been praying for! YOU ARE GOING!”
– Mandy, my roommate from Redding
Dear
Mandy said that after I called to tell her about the opportunity to be the youth leader of a youth group at an international school in Burkina Faso, Africa. Now, nearly a month later, I'm sitting here writing to tell you that I have been accepted to fulfill this position and am planning on heading there in September.
This position is through the Short Term Missions Office of the Christian and Missionary Alliance Church. I have been asked to be the youth leader of a youth group that many of the CMA missionaries in the region send their kids. Along with being the leader of the youth group, I will also teach English and learn French. There are endless opportunities to serve God in a country where Islam is the predominant religion. I am thrilled to take part in God’s ministry in this country and serve him in whatever other ways he would reveal.
I am writing you because I need your support. I have currently committed to being there for 2 years and I know that I am going to need your prayers. Please consider praying for me as I prepare to go to Burkina and while I am serving there. Financially I am going to need help as well. I know that the missionaries in Burkina would love to provide for my finances but that is not possible for them. So, I am raising support both spiritually and financially. The complete cost of living in Burkina (and learning French) will be $1,400 a month. Please consider supporting me monthly.
I wanted to thank you for the support you have given me. You have played a part in God’s plan for my life already. I would not have been able to graduate from Simpson University had it not been for your support in sending me to South Africa for my internship last summer. Also, I know that you have prayed for me and encouraged me for many years now and that has shaped who I am today – Thank you.
Blessings to you!
