Here’s what I couldn’t say yesterday and still can’t “say” (speak out loud), therefore I am writing!
Our donation to your trip is more than just giving you money to go to the mission field. Our gift is more than money towards sending hands, feet, smiles and love to orphans.
How much can we give to help Reilly see and be part of her little girl dream? How much can we give to have her whole support system and family along with her as she gets a glimpse of that dream?
I fell in love with B* in China. B* spent nearly 24 months there over a 36 month period. China is a dear place for us. How much can we give for Kelly to see Bob in a whole new light? Kelly will see Bob so very differently in and after China! How much can we give for Bob to see Kelly and serve along side of his wife in China? Bob will also see Kelly in a whole new way after this trip! How much can we give to continue to solidify a marriage of two people we dearly love?
How much can we give to have Vickey go with her daughter, son-in-law and grandchildren? To have her faith grow immensely! To have her focus on things outside of herself, rather than continue the inward battle of her grief.
Our desire has been for you to join us at (family camp). That desire comes from a deep desire for you all to have a vacation, as a family, with spiritual significance plus joy and excitement. So, it’s not Mt. Hermon, but you will be getting all of that and more in China…we just won’t be with you! That is the only selfishly sad part for us – so bring back stories and pictures!
Lastly, back to Bring Them Hope! How much can we give so an entire family can go bless a Chinese Orphanage? Peter may be the biggest blessing of all. He will be able to play and not judge and probably see those children as Jesus does. Each of you has a different personality and gifts. You will see that difference in China and God will use all of those differences for His Kingdom! We know there is a plan for EACH one of you going. We give cheerfully and thank you for receiving joyfully! All glory goes to Jesus!
