Dear friends, March 27, 2014
I hope
you have been well. I want to thank you again for your support last year of two
mission trips. Here is what has been going on in my life lately. I am still
heavily involved with Cru (Campus Crusade for Christ) and through that have
been leading “Women’s Ministry and Discipleship” here at Capital University. I
feel that God has helped me grow and develop a lot this year, as a leader and
in my personal spiritual journey. I have two babysitting jobs and am working
hard in school to finish up my final year. I am excited to graduate in May with
a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology and am looking forward to seeing where
God takes me from there.
Cru is an international organization that is active on many
college campuses in the U.S. The purpose statement on their website reads: “[We
are] helping to fulfill the Great Commission in the power of the Holy Spirit by
winning people to faith in Jesus Christ, building them in their faith and
sending them to win and build others; and helping the Body of Christ do
evangelism and discipleship.” Please contact me if you have more questions
about what Cru is and what they are all about!
This
summer, I have been graciously invited to come back to Juneau, Alaska to be on
staff for this year’s Women’s Summer Project. I am very excited to see how God
will use me this summer, especially since I will be in a leadership role this
time. I will be there from the end of May to the beginning of July.
In
order to make this trip a reality, I need your help. First of all, I need you
to pray. Please pray for me and the other staff members as we train the
students to be Godly disciples. Please pray for the students, that they may
learn from us and from their experiences in Juneau and grow to resemble Christ
more. Please pray for the residents of Juneau, that they will be receptive to
hearing the Gospel from us and that they will be open to forming friendships
with those of us on the Summer Project.
My
staff position is not paid, so I also need your help to raise the $1,650
necessary to go. This is the minimum
amount I need to raise, as it does not cover travel costs. Please prayerfully
consider giving $300, $200, $100 or some other amount in order to help make
this happen.
I
have included a response card and return envelope for you to let me know about
your financial decision. Please make your checks payable to Cru, as your gift
is tax-deductible. You can also give online at give.gosummerproject.com/maryann-bennett/.
Remember that God loves a cheerful giver (2 Corinthians 9:6-7)! Please feel
free to contact me with any questions you may have, or if you just want to
chat! Thank you very much.
God
bless!
Maryann
