Dear Family and Friends,
I am so humbled and blessed by the opportunities God has given me in service at Bayside Community Church as well as the Downtown Ministry that I have been a part of for the last several years. I have felt a strong calling to minister to the homeless and less fortunate of Bradenton and Manatee County.
It is now time for me to take the next step in following Gods plan for my life. This June I will be taking my first ever missions trip to Los Angeles to volunteer and serve at The Dream Center. For those of you unfamiliar with the Center it was cofounded by Matthew Barnett and his father Pastor Tommy Barnett in an old hospital in downtown Los Angeles. They serve more than 30,000 people each week through its multiple church services and more than 200 need-centered ministries. If you would like more information on this highly successful ministry go to www.dreamcenter.org
God has been showing me the need for such a ministry right here in downtown Bradenton. This trip will serve as a growth step as well as an educational experience to better prepare me for whatever God has planned.
Here is where you come in. I am asking most importantly for your prays as I follow Gods leading in this endeavor as well as your financial support if you feel so lead. The cost is $1200 dollars which covers airfare, lodging and meals for the week.
There are 3 different ways you can send your support. The first is through this site using "We Pay or Paypal". Second is directly through the Bayside website (See attached instructions) this is a tax deductible way to send your support. The third option is directly to me this is the least preferred.
I also would feel remised if I didn’t add a shameless plug for the opportunities that the Downtown Ministries offers each week.
Community breakfast - 6:30am - 8:00am every Saturday at Joseph’s Storehouse 1027 9th St W
Adopt A Block - 8:30am - 10:30am every Saturday at The Solve House 1509 8th Ave W
Thank you so much for your consideration.
God bless,
Cary
