Dearest Friends and Family,
This October I will be going on a mission trip to Punta Gorda , Belize. The Lord has been nudging me to be a part of this trip for a couple years now and I am so blessed to get this opportunity. This will be my first mission trip AND my first time traveling outside the country. I cannot wait to see what God has planned!
The trip is scheduled for Saturday, October 22nd through Tuesday, November 1st. Before the trip I will be attending several meetings to help prepare me. Every other meeting is also a financial checkpoint that will help me stay on track with raising the money and the needed support. All $2,700.00 is due by September 18th of this year. This amount of money is a lot for our family to come up with on our own but I know how huge my God is and am trusting Him to provide a way to do what He has called me to do.
Throughout the course of this trip we will be working with Laugh Out LoudMinistry to minister to the children at their orphanage as well as ministering in the villages surrounding.
I humbly ask for your participation in prayer, donations, and more prayer.
Please pray for:
• Travel & Safety for our team
• Boldness and strength
• Guidance for myself and our team
• Health for myself and our team
As I write this letter I am in the middle of laundry, dishes, homeschooling, cleaning the house and all the necessary things that come with running our home. Please pray for my family, both leading up to my trip and while I am away. This will be the first time that we have been apart for longer than a weekend.
Another important thing I ask that you help me with is donations. Anything and everything counts, whatever amount you feel led to give will be helpful and definitely not wasted. Any and all donations and prayers will be a HUGE blessing to me. All donations are tax deductible.
There are 2 ways that you can donate:
1. You can send a check made out to “JFC” with “Hilgers, Belize 2016” in the
memo line to:
8200 Southpark Circle, Unit A,
Attn: Global Missions
Littleton, CO 80120
2. You can give by credit card online at JFC.org. If you have not given through JFC online in
the past this will take a brief moment to ‘create an account’. When filling out the form select
“Missions Fund” and in the comments section write “Belize 2016 – Hilgers”.
Thank you so much for being a special part in this amazing adventure. I have set up this blog that I plan on using to share as I walk through this.
You are my support team and I cannot wait to share with you everything that God is going to do!
So much love,
Heather
