{this is the letter of support sent out to all of Emily's relatives and such...you can support her too:D:D:D}

Dear Blog Reader,

In the past year I have really felt the Lord drawing my heart to pursue foreign missionary work. I am incredibly inspired with the stories of how God has used the lives of missionaries such as Jim Elliott, to further glorify His name.

Since January I have been uniquely blessed to participate in the Lebanon Foursquare Missions Team. We are planning a missions trip to the Dominican Republic in August later this year. We have felt as a group to mainly minister to the people by helping and encouraging the missionaries working for T.E.A.R.S. Ministries, a mission organization stationed in the Dominican Republic.

In order to serve with the Team, I need to come up with roughly $1,600 ($900 for airfare, $570 for the stay in the D.R., and other small costs) I am fully trusting in the Lord to provide the safety as well as the finances to serve him this way, if that be his will.

In writing you this letter I pray that God would speak to your heart. Please support me in any way you can, whether financially or in prayer. I really feel that God has called me to do this and I trust that if this really is His will, then he will provide. Thank you for reading this and I pray God will direct you in his peace.

Love Always,
Emily Skipper

Isaiah 61:1,2

The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me,
because the LORD has anointed me
to preach good news to the poor.
He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim freedom for the captives
