Today is the 15th day of May – I cannot believe
that this month is halfway over… and I am loving being in M/alaysia. I know that I told you that I would not
be writing any blogs this month, because my whole team made a vow to fast from
the internet this month. But, I am
writing to you on the behalf of my teammate Anna Coffey. I have posted a blog once before about
her and this time is much more urgent than the last email. Anna HAS to raise $4000 this month in
order that she is able to travel with our team to Africa next month. I am no longer asking you to give to
her – I am begging you to give to her.
She has gotten in about $1500 of this goal so far this month, but she is
in desperate need of this money.
I truly could NOT imagine Anna not being with me in Africa –
she is incredibly needed on my team.
Anna is a source of peace and comfort to my team…. she shines and I
personally need her to stay. Anna
is growing so much in the Lord .. growing more and more every single day and it
would be heartbreaking for her to have to end her part of the trip only 5
months in. I got to spend a lot of
time with Anna last month in Chiang Mai and she truly has the most loving and
pure heart. Please read her words
on her blogs (www.annacoffey.theworldrace.org)
— she is allowed to blog because she needs the finances to continue. Anna is a beautiful woman and she finds
beauty in everyone and everything around her – and she captures so much of this
in her beautiful photography. Anna
is an amazing listener and when I am having a hard day – or just need to talk,
Anna is always there to listen to anything I have to say, whether important or
trivial. The way you all came
through with support for the girls I was friends with in Chiang Mai was
unbelievable, and I am asking you to please give another time. Your money would be going to support a
great woman – who is seeking to know God more and trying to make Him known more
in her life and the way that she treats others.
My team is having an incredible time here in M/alaysia and
we seriously appreciate your prayers this month, even though we have not been
able to be in communication with you.
God has done some amazing things and I look forward to telling you all
about it in a few weeks when our fast is officially over. I love you all very much and ask for
your continued prayers as we finish up this next week, then fly over to
Singapore for a few days – looking for opportunities to serve there. We will be back in Bangkok, Thailand
for our debrief before heading over to Africa on June 1st. I will be in contact with you in about
two weeks.
Again, I am seriously asking you to donate money to Anna – I
cannot wait to send you reports as to how the Lord comes through with the
money. Thank you to everyone who
donated last time I posted a blog about her. You are the greatest supporters – PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE
consider – even if you can only give $5.00. I love you all very much!
