One-third (1/3) of the way there!!!!

*** I HAVE GREAT NEWS!! ***

I found out today that, by the grace of God, I have raised $500 for my Medical Mission Trip!!!! I am so excited! Yes, according to my schedule it is a few weeks late....but we are ultimately on God's time, and He is never late! :) Thank you SO MUCH to all who have been led to donate so far!!

There have been enough donations to pay for my plane ticket, which is wonderful!!! Now, this does leave me with a large bit left to raise, but I am not concerned!! As for the other two-thirds (2/3) of the total amount... I must raise an additional $1,000 and my deadline is AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. :oD

Thank you for your continued prayers!! Below are the three ways that you can donate if you feel the Lord leading you to do so. Also, if you know of anyone who may be interested in making a tax deductible donation to a good and Godly cause, send them to my page!! :)

The three ways are as follows:

1. Mail a Personal Check made out to
REUNION CHRISTIAN CHURCH –

March 12 - 1st Fundraising Deadline!

Hello!! I hope this beautiful day has treated you well!! :)

Some of you have already received this info... those of you who received an email with my original support letter attached probably have not..

I was informed that my
1st fundraising deadline of $500 (to cover airfare) is March 12.
I know that is less than two weeks from now, but the Lord
(and, you, my fine Support Team) knows no limits! :)

Thank you to those who have contacted me with guarantees of Prayer Support!!!

The fact that you took the time to let me know that you are on board is
GREATLY APPRECIATED!!

Also, my EXTREME GRATITUDE to those who have been led by the Lord to support me financially! So far I have $150 in hand, and I have been told by others to expect their donations in the mail.

*** FYI ***
I verified with our leader that you cannot use a credit card when donating online. You CAN use your checking account and just enter your Routing Number, etc.... Still easy and online.. just not quite as easy as a credit card.

Without all of your support this would not be possible, so again, THANK YOU!! :)

Support Jaimie's Medical Mission's Trip to the Dominican Republic! ;)

Dear Family and Friends,

I trust this letter finds you well and blessed! The Lord has opened a door to an incredible opportunity that I have been praying for, and I am exciting to share the details with you! In 2001 I was on a mission trip to the Philippine Islands, and I felt a very strong calling to mission work; specifically to orphan missions. That was some time ago, and the Lord had other “missions” for me to tend to since then. However, I am thrilled to share that I have been accepted to join a Medical Mission’s Team with Boston’s REUNION Christian Church and G.O. Ministries and travel to Santiago, Dominican Republic from June 29 – July 6!

During the week, my team will be:
*Providing Medical Support
*Working alongside Dominican nationals to build infrastructure such as community
buildings and feeding centers
*Building relationships by working with children while conducting VBS and worship
services
*Most importantly, showing God’s love by being of service with a joyful heart
I have always felt the main purpose of a mission trip is to show people all over the world that God loves us all equally. We are the same in His eyes, and it feels amazing when you look into their eyes and actually see that connection being made. I remember when I was in the Philippine’s, were ministering in a park, and I sat down on a curb next to a girl I had never met before. Her name was Angela. She smiled hesitantly at me; I at her, and then in her language (Tagalog) I said to her “Jesus Loves You”. Such a small yet powerful sentence! Angela’s smile became so bright, and we instantly connected in a way only possible through the Lord. I love it!

My First Request: There is quite the demonic stronghold in the DR, and I am asking primarily for Prayer Support! Our team’s success depends on the spiritual warfare being fought, and the covering being provided, by you! We are expecting GREAT things!!

My second request is that you pray about financially supporting me in this endeavor. The amount of $500 is DUE BY MARCH 12, and the total amount I need to raise is $1,500 with a DEADLINE OF JUNE 4. This amount includes travel expenses, food, lodging, supplies and equipment that we will leave for the Dominican people when we return home. I was accepted into the team a little late, so I am already a bit behind in my fundraising; however, I know the Lord has provided this opportunity, and He has promised to provide for all my needs!
All donations are tax deductible, and you will be able to receive details and updates on our team’s website: www.reunioninthedr.com
