ENGLAND Letter

Dear Friends and Family,

As many of you know I recently came home from Australia, where I was doing the Art Evangelist School with YWAM (Youth With A Mission). God's timing and leading appeared to be different than I first thought, and I came home from Australia a bit earlier than I was expecting. Although I have a gift for art, it seems God is leading me more to use my heart for children and youth at this time.

I am writing to tell you about an exciting upcoming trip, which I think you'll want to know about. I'm planning to go with OM (Operation Mobilization) on a short term mission trip to Birmingham, England in July. .OM organizes mission trips to various parts of the world, and each year thousands of Christians from different countries participate, working alongside full-time missionaries and local churches to present the message of Jesus.

After a brief cross-cultural orientation and evangelism training, I'll work with an international team doing outreach in Birmingham, England. OM teams use literature, drama, music, personal conversations and other methods to present the Gospel. Our team will use some of these ways to meet people and tell them about Jesus.

From July 19th – August 16th I working with the team doing Holiday Clubs – these holiday clubs are aimed at children aged 5-11 years old. The club follows the adventures of the lovable puppet hero “Lionheart”. As he learns about himself and God through his adventures, so do the children. Each day's action packed program is built around a different spiritual truth that children of all ages are able to learn and respond to. At the conclusion of the Holiday Clubs there will be a two-week staff conference in the Netherlands for all OM workers. From there I will be going back to Birmingham, England for Community Encounter – from August 31st – December 18th where as part of a team I will learn in sharing the gospel effectively, understanding and living in a new culture, in-depth bible study, as well as hands on and practical ministry skills.

I expect this trip will help me to understand this culture and it will also be a challenging and stretching experience as I work with others to share the Gospel. I'll need people who pray for me while I'm away, asking for safety, good health, and courage to share my faith.

I also need a team of people who will commit to financially help with the costs of the trip (travel, accommodations, food, ministry expenses). The cost to participate in this OM outreach is $3600.00. I need to raise these funds by June 20th. Would you pray about helping to support me as I take part in this outreach? Checks should be made payable to Operation Mobilization, with my account number (2270003) in the memo line, and mailed to: Operation Mobilization, PO Box 444, 285 Lynnwood Avenue, Tyrone, GA, 30290-0444.

Thank you for your prayers and support. I look forward to telling you what God is doing through my ministry through newsletters and my blog: http://ninab731.blogspot.com/

Love In Christ
