God is at work in Romania and I have an opportunity to go and be a part of what He is doing there, and to help the poverty-stricken people that live in many of the rural villages. I am part of a team of 16 people going from Southpoint Community Christian Church on a unique mission to serve a community that is in extreme need from July 21-31, 2013.
We are collaborating with local churches in Romania and a local non-profit to help meet the physical needs and to bring hope to many homes and people that have no hope. Romania was a communist led country until the Revolution in 1989. We will be visiting Timisoara, which is where the Revolution started. Ever since the Revolution the nation has been trying to heal and restore their nation. Many of the villages where we will be serving still have no electricity, no running water, and no transportation to resources we take for granted.
I am excited about this opportunity to be the hands and feet of Jesus on this mission field and to meet the special needs of the people in the communities of Romania. Though I know the work ahead of me is overwhelming, I am confident that God will use me, along with our team, to make a difference. Please partner with me in this mission.
How you can help:
1. Please consider praying for the team and me every day from the moment you receive this letter until July 31 when we return. Also, begin to pray for the people of Romania and the needs and trials that they face each day.
2. Each member of the team is responsible to raise at least $2,000 to cover the costs of travel, food, lodging, and supplies. There are other costs I will incur above the minimum required to take part in this opportunity so every gift is a blessing and appreciated. You can help by making a tax-deductible contribution to help me join this team to bring hope to the people of Romania. There are a few ways to make your gift towards this mission:
1. Click on the “Give” button on this page to make a gift securely through PayPal.
2. Send a check payable to Southpoint Community Christian Church to 5699 Fort St, Trenton, MI 48183 c/o Jennifer Burns. Please be sure to mention you would like to make a donation to Romania 2013 and my name in the memo.
3. If you have a PayPal account you can go directly to PayPal, click on send money and enter the following email address: djburns89@comcast.net
4. Turn your check into connection point or in the offering bucket at the weekend services at Southpoint – be sure to put my name and Romania 2013 in the memo.
Thank you for partnering with me. I look forward to updating everyone on how God uses me in Romania!
God Bless (:
