It’s been over 13 months since I moved to Gettysburg and it’s been a better and more beautiful adventure than I ever could have imagined. God has been so good to me and I love dreaming with Him about all that’s still ahead. As many of you know, I am now serving as the assistant director of Gettysburg Master’s Commission, the discipleship and ministry training program I was a student in last year. There are really great days and really hard days but every day is done with God and that’s why I love this job. This year I’m joining with 9 young adults as they make the lifelong choice to be disciples of Jesus Christ. I get so much joy out of watching them come alive in ministry as they experience that God has given them special interests, personalities, gifts and dreams that can all be used to live life with Him and reach people for Jesus. Today I’m writing to tell you about one more part of this ministry.
This
coming January, I’ll be joining God and a team of about 30 other people on a
missions trip to the Dominican Republic. Our church, Freedom Valley Worship
Center, is partnering with many churches from the DR and a few from the states
to run a festival called “Esperanza para la Cuidad” (Hope for the City). This
festival will draw thousands and present the Gospel in powerful and creative
ways to the people of the DR. My team will mostly support the presentation of
the Gospel through prayer, street ministry, connecting with local churches, and
the set-up and teardown of the festival. I am so excited about this opportunity!
I am so thankful that God is making it possible for me to join with him in
loving and reaching the nations.
I’d
like to invite you to join with me, and with God’s heart, in this mission to
the DR. There are three major ways you can support me:
1. Pray for me! I am asking God to break past my
expectations, take me out of comfort zones I don’t even realize I have, and to
use me to share the freedom found only in Jesus. I want to be God’s arms in
comforting the broken, taking the cane from the healed person, and hugging the
believer as they rejoice in the new things God is doing in their life. I am
believing God for health on the trip and fresh vision as the trip approaches,
that my heart would be united with God’s love for the Dominican people. For all
of this, I need prayer.
2. Support me financially! The total cost for my trip will be $1,500. I’ve been amazed so
far to see the sweet and unexpected ways in which God is providing. Would you
consider giving to this trip? You’re not just buying a plane ticket or covering
a fee, you’re partnering with God as he prepares me to go out and share the
love of his Son with lost people. I believe He will bless you for your
investment in missions and that through giving; you are as much a part of the
mission as I am in going.
3. Visit my shop! All profits will
benefit my trip to the DR. I’ll be selling items I sew, craft, and draw online
at facebook.com/bl.chase. Please feel free to request anything I can make for
you!
Thank you so much for considering the ways you can
support me on this new adventure. God is so good to me and I could talk forever
about the way He has made me come alive and blessed me so abundantly. It’s truly
an honor to be able to go abroad, share the truth of who Jesus is and how
beautiful (no matter the circumstances) life can be when you know and follow
him. If you’re able to support me through prayer or financial giving, please
let me know. I will then provide you with giving information. Prayer requests
will regularly be posted to my Facebook account to keep you updated!
Thank you, friends and family for your generous
hearts and all your love. I would love to bless you in return. If I can answer
any questions or tell you more about this trip and what God’s doing in my life
here in Gettysburg, please, please, please get in touch with me!
Love,
Bonnie
