So here it goes....a first step I've been waiting for, for a very long time. When I was 13 years old God introduced me for the first time to what it means to give back to His people. My dad, cousin, and I made our first missionary trip to the Dominican Republic. From the moment I left I was never the same. In 2000, by the grace of God, I was able to travel with my family to various countries in Europe for both leisure and ministry. Again, a passion within me grew stronger.
Since the beginning of nursing school, upon hearing of others traveling to foreign countries on a mission or others on a missionary work, it literally hurt within me to not be "out there", making a difference for God’s kingdom. I remember when missionaries visited our church, I would make an opportunity to speak with them about their work, with tears in my eyes longing to be there too. Actually, every trip I would hear about, I would plead with my parents to let me go, but they always said, “Melody, now is not the time. God in His time will make a way.” Through this I have learned everything is a process.
Since becoming aware of Jordan International, I have applied praying that God would make a way. But nursing school demands made it very difficult. A few weeks ago I received an unexpected e-mail asking me to submit my application for a forthcoming Cambodia missionary trip. I was like, “what? I didn’t even say I was going.” I didn't even know about it, let alone thought about it, but something tells me God had a hand in it.
So here I am....graduating in June of this year, and I am putting out my fleece before God. I know God can, and He will, it's just a matter of when.
This desire of mine cannot be accomplished without your help. The first deposit of $1500 needs to be made by May 15th. Yes, I know what you are thinking, “Wow, that’s like around the corner!” Lol Yes, I know. But you see when God calls you to it, you just step out and believe He will make a way.
As a result, in the name of Jesus, I pray that God will touch the hearts of those reading this. Any amount would go a long way, and appreciated to the utmost. Thank you in advance for your sponsorship.
Again, thank you for depositing a piece of yourself into the life of another person’s dreams. May God richly bless you the more over.
Love in Christ,
Melody Millen
