This girl is important to me. You’ll notice that in the video above I say that she gives great hugs…and that hugs are important to me-I think I need to expound on this a bit…

 

Toya not only gives the best big hugs around, but she gives them at exactly the right time. Perhaps you know the moment-those times where you’re crying out for someone to just notice that something’s wrong but you don’t want to say anything…she’s there. When you think you’re escaping from everyone and are about to sit in your own self-loathing…she’s there. I don’t know how many times she’s run me down to wrap me in a warm hug and pray for me. Sometimes I don’t quite know how she does it.

We have this interesting relationship, Toya and I. She says I’m the one that always makes her cry, and interestingly enough, she does the same to me. There’s a heart connect and a God given love for each other that we share. We’ve walked through some tough stuff in only a few short months, and I know it’s not over. We’ve had too many times of pressing in to this financial issue together to walk away in defeat. 

I know that Toya is called to be here.

I’m looking to God for provision and I’m asking you to pray for my sister. Exciting times are ahead for her. In just the short time she’s been with us in ComLife, Toya’s learned that she’s defined by her identity in Christ and not the role she plays. She used to be an Event Planner and rubbed elbows with all kinds of hoity-toities with money. Now that she’s pursuing God’s calling, she’s finding that the value she found in her job is wasting away. But lets be clear-this exuberant, loving, kind, creative, and hospitable woman IS valuable and we need her…just like she needs us. …just like we need you.

Toya’s got a charge from God to reach African American churches and mobilize them for missions. She has a huge heart for Africa and wants to bring church groups there to minister as well. There’s no stopping this ‘idea-machine’-she’s going places. Would you consider helping her on her journey? She needs $3000 by June 1st to allow her to stay in ComLife!
