Burkina Faso--Support Letter.


Dear Friends and Family,

As many of you already know, I am involved in many activities here in Nashville. Since I have arrived I’ve been looking for the most effective way to use my abilities to serve others. Recently an opportunity presented itself for me this summer to share Christ’s life and love with others..

I have been invited to go as a Missionary to Burkina Faso, Africa with Real Impact Missions, an organization committed to serving and ministering the saving message of Jesus Christ worldwide. The dates for this trip are July 2-17, 2012. I believe that my experience in missions, street work and volunteering have prepared me to work in extenuating circumstances and to lead youth in cross-cultural ministry. In speaking with the Project Director of this trip I was informed that the nature of our trip will mainly be to serve the poor and lost of Africa. This includes ministering to children and adults, teaching conversational English, relief projects (bringing clean water to villages), and evangelism through a drama.

In order to go, I must raise around $3,700. As a single mother, this seems like so much to raise, but I trust in the Lord’s provision. I am participating in several fundraisers and odd jobs, and I would also like to ask for your support for this trip. Your gift would be an investment into someone’s eternal life. Please pray and do whatever God leads you to do. If you do choose to support me, your gift is tax deductible and I ask that your check be written to Real Impact Missions (do not put my name directly on the check).

More than anything, I ask for your prayers concerning this trip. It will be difficult physically and spiritually but I believe it will change the lives of the people of Burkina Faso as well as my own. The combination of your prayers and support can greatly have an impact on the lives of people across the world, and give them hope through the message of Christ. I sincerely appreciate your concern for the cause of Christ.

May God bless you as you pursue Him and the establishment of His Kingdom.

Pursuing Christ,
Tiffany Barkley
