<p><span style="color: #ff3366;">Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. :]]<br></span></p> <p> <p class="Default"><span style="color: #ff3366;"><span style="font-family: &amp;quot;PMingLiU-ExtB&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;">I am starting this page with great anticipation and excitement as I am about to begin a new experience in my walk and commitment to Christ. I have been accepted to the <strong><em>SERVE Nazareth</em> </strong>program where I will experience the land of the Bible while serving others in Jesus</span>&rsquo;<span style="font-family: &amp;quot;PMingLiU-ExtB&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;"> home town. </span></span></p> <p class="Default"><span style="font-family: &amp;quot;PMingLiU-ExtB&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; color: #ff3366;">&nbsp;SERVE Nazareth offers the opportunity to: </span></p> <p class="Default"><span style="color: #ff3366;">&nbsp;<strong><span style="font-family: &amp;quot;PMingLiU-ExtB&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;">LIVE</span></strong><span style="font-family: &amp;quot;PMingLiU-ExtB&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;">: where Jesus lived. </span></span></p> <p class="Default"><span style="color: #ff3366;">&nbsp;<strong><span style="font-family: &amp;quot;PMingLiU-ExtB&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;">LEARN</span></strong><span style="font-family: &amp;quot;PMingLiU-ExtB&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;">: through Biblical teaching. </span></span></p> <p class="Default"><span style="color: #ff3366;">&nbsp;<strong><span style="font-family: &amp;quot;PMingLiU-ExtB&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;">SERVE</span></strong><span style="font-family: &amp;quot;PMingLiU-ExtB&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;">: local ministries and the community. </span></span></p> <p class="Default"><span style="color: #ff3366;">&nbsp;<strong><span style="font-family: &amp;quot;PMingLiU-ExtB&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;">GROW</span></strong><span style="font-family: &amp;quot;PMingLiU-ExtB&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;">: in your relationship with God. </span></span></p> <p class="Default"><span style="color: #ff3366;">&nbsp;<span style="font-family: &amp;quot;PMingLiU-ExtB&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;">The <strong><em>SERVE Nazareth</em> </strong>Program consists of a preparatory course, which prepares me for life in Nazareth through cultural, spiritual and language studies. Following this I will have a preparation week where I will meet the rest of the participants face to face and undergo more training. After this week, we will all live in Nazareth for 3 months. I will be assigned to two local ministry placements, while living in a community that seeks God daily. If you want more information on the program you can visit </span><a href="http://www.servenazareth.org/"><span style="font-family: &amp;quot;PMingLiU-ExtB&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;">www.servenazareth.org</span></a><span style="font-family: &amp;quot;PMingLiU-ExtB&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;">. </span></span></p> <p class="Default"><span style="font-family: &amp;quot;PMingLiU-ExtB&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; color: #ff3366;">&nbsp;As I am so excited to go, I am humbly asking for your help in two ways. The first is prayer. I have learned that things happen when we pray, and that prayer is powerful when we are in one accord with Christ and others. Prayer has prefaced all movements in the past and continues to do so today, so I ask for your prayers as we serve in Nazareth, Israel and have <strong>complete faith </strong>that God will move through us in mighty ways. God calls us to <strong>put our faith in action </strong>and I wholeheartedly know that I am doing that to the fullest by taking this opportunity to SERVE in Israel. </span></p> <p class="Default"><span style="font-family: &amp;quot;PMingLiU-ExtB&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; color: #ff3366;">&nbsp;Secondly, I am asking for you help financially. My goal is to raise enough funds to cover my program fees and flights, a total of $3,200. I also need to raise a little extra for insurance for my time abroad as well. As you consider giving, know that your support will sow into my life, those in Nazareth, and most importantly the Kingdom of God. Thank you for your consideration, thoughts, and prayers. </span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><em><span style="color: #ff3366;">Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
