Declaration of a world changer

We said this daily during our mission trip to Peru:

"Today, I will live honorably through my thoughts, actions, and speech. I choose to be full of faith; I will not only be a hearer, but a doer of the Word of God. I will serve before I demand. I will love and not hate. I will give before I take. Today, I choose to make a difference in this world and to be a part of something bigger than myself. I choose to dedicate my life to prayer and ask God for his miraculous power and the courage to do the impossible. I will make godly relationships a priority in my life as I esteem others higher than myself. Today, I will live my life in such a way that I will change the world."

Support Letter for Summer 08 Mission Trip

Dear
As you probably know I went with Teen Mania's Global Expeditions to Okinawa, Japan for a month in 2003, went to India for a month in 2004, and went to Peru for two months in 2007. The last eight days while in Peru, I became a leader (with a co-leader) of about 23 missionaries. I am looking forward to being a leader again this summer. This will give me the opportunity to grow as a leader both spiritually and practically.

The trip this summer will be from June 5-August 2. To start off, we will be doing training. While training I will also be getting to know my co-leader and other leaders. Later on we will be training the missionaries and getting to know them.

The first month I will be in Peru from around June 7- July 10. Our base will be Lima, Peru. We will be helping in the earthquake relief effort in Pisco and Chincha(about a week after coming home last year from Peru, parts of the coast of Peru were hit hard by an earthquake). We'll also be ministering through drama, VBS, and Bible Studies.

The second month (July 11-July 31) we will be in Argentina. We will be helping in social outreaches by providing food, clothing, and blankets for the poor in Mendoza, Argentina. We'll also be assisting in a Kid's day camp and VBS.
We then have debriefing (learn how to take home what we have learned on the mission field).

I need to raise around $2342.60. If you would like to support me in this exciting opportunity, please send a check, along with the included form, to Teen Mania Ministries.
