Dear Family and Friends,
Greetings! I pray that this letter finds you and your family well. I am currently working as a 2nd grade teacher at Millennia Elementary School in Orlando. This summer, I will be going on THE VERY FIRST mission trip of my life to the Dominican Republic with my church, Harvest. I’ll be there from June 14-23.
Honestly, I have made many excuses in the past for why I should not go on missions. As a teacher, I have the blessing of having summers off. This year, I finally gave in as God finally put my foot down as I heard His call to GO and serve His people. I am truly excited to be one of the people to actually go and do God’s work in the mission field this summer. I truly believe God will use my heart for children and my passion for teaching in the mission field to help others see Him through me.
On June 14, we will be departing to the Dominican Republic from Orlando. In the DR, we will be involved in helping a local church to reach their community. We will do this by serving in different ways including leading a Vacation Bible School for children, prayer ministry, evangelism, and revival meetings while we are there.
Please pray for my heart as I prepare to go on this mission trip. Please pray for me to be a loving and generous servant of Christ. Please pray for the 22 of us who are going, that we would be united and supportive of each other so we can be greatly used for God’s kingdom and His glory.
I will need to raise $1000 to go on this trip. The money will be used for travel and in-country expenses. If you feel called to support me, please make checks payable to: Harvest Ministry – 16796 E. Davenport Rd, Winter Garden, FL 34787. If you’d like to give online, you can go to www.donate.harvestkpco.org/dr2016.
Please pray for me and my friends who are going on this trip. I am so excited to share about my time when I come back on June 23.
In Christ,
Yoo Jin Hwang
