Letter from Hannah and Malachi

Dear Prayer Warriors:
We are both so excited to share with you an incredible opportunity that we have through our church. During our Spring Break, March 10-17, we will be traveling with a team from our church to Laredo, TX and working with local churches in that area in sharing the Gospel, repairing homes, and serving in many other areas.

Located right on the Texas/Mexico Border Laredo is more like Mexico than it is the US. The people there are impoverished in many ways and many have not heard of the hope that Jesus can bring. Our team will be meeting them where they are at and showing them in a hands-on way the love of Jesus Christ.

Each of us has prayed specifically about our call to go on this trip and we both feel that God is calling us to take this step of faith and reach out to others. Hannah – I have a love for the Spanish/Mexican culture. After taking Spanish for the past 5 years, I am so anxious to use my knowledge of the Spanish language and speak to them about Jesus and His love. Malachi – this is my second mission trip and I am excited to tell others about Jesus as well as serve alongside my team.

We know that prayer is very important to any mission trip. As a team, we have been asked to ask at least 15 people each to pray for us both before and during the trip –combined we are seeking at least 30 Prayer Warriors for this trip. By committing to being a Prayer Warrior – we ask that you will pray daily for us and our team from now until we return on March 17.

Although prayer is our number one request, we would also like to invite you to help financially with the cost of the trip. The total cost of the trip is $450 per person or $900 for the two of us. Attached to this letter, you will find a form indicating the three ways, according to the IRS that one may contribute to the trip if you are able and feel led to do so. Contributions are appreciated but are not the primary purpose of this letter.

Thank you for your prayerful consideration in joining us either as a Prayer Warrior or by contributing financially as we prepare to reach the people of Laredo for Jesus Christ. If you decide to join our team, please let us know so that we can keep you updated about all prayer needs both now and during our trip. You can e-mail us through Mom’s e-mail or write us at 103 Davenport St Borger TX 79007.

In Him,

Hannah and Malachi Arrington

For Blog friends: We couldn't figure out how to attach the contribution statement but if you are interested, e-mail mom and she will get it to you!
