Thailand...Here I Come!

Welp, there ya have it. I'm going to Thailand. The trip will be January 17th-26th. I'm going with my church, The Grove. I'm so stinkin excited about it!!!! Here is the letter that I wrote to raise money.

Dear friends and family,                    

     This is a picture of me in Northern Ireland. I recently got back from a month long mission trip there. God taught me so much and it was such a blessing to be able to serve the people of NI.

One of the things that God revealed to me is that I need to be fighting injustices in America and around the globe. This has been on my heart for a while, but God confirmed it even more while I was in Northern Ireland. Which brings me to the purpose of this letter.

            Because of this passion to fight injustices, God has put it on my heart to go on a mission trip to Thailand. My church, The Grove, is a church that has a core value of serving the world. This will be our first trip to Thailand. We are partnering with a non-profit ministry over there that is dedicated to pulling out girls that are trapped in the sex trafficking ring. This organization reaches out to girls that have no hope that life will ever change.  They give them a way out. I'm hoping that this trip will give me an accurate, heart breaking realization of how these young women and girls live. Earlier this year, God showed me that I have to be mentoring and helping young women, specifically those that have been in the sex trafficking arena. There is a huge need for people to work with these women and show them that they matter.

            The trip is going to be January 17th through the 26th. This will be our first trip, which means we will be seeing how the organization works and helping with anything we can. There is a need for people to be aware of how prevalent sex trafficking is across the world, but also in our own backyard. I believe God is calling me to work with women here in the states, but he wants me to see how ministries work in other countries. I need to raise $2800 to go on this trip for eight days. I am so excited to see how God will move in my heart and spirit through this trip.

            Please seek God in supporting me; whether it is by prayer, financially or with encouraging words. My stay there will be tough and filled with spiritual warfare, because of the spiritual battle that rages there everyday. If you are interested in supporting me, there is an envelope that you can fill out and send to The Grove (2777 S. Gilbert Rd., Chandler, AZ 85286). Thank you for taking time to read this and prayerfully consider supporting me.

            Also, you can follow me on my blog, www.crazybeautiful-agape.blogspot.com, where I will write about my experiences. Please feel free to write me on my Facebook, www.facebook.com/bre.lee1 or via email, Breana.lee15@gmail.com with any questions. I would love to answer any questions you have!

                        God bless!

I intend to send this letter to friends and family that don't know this story. I have a lot of funds to raise in a short amount of time, but God is faithful. He got me to NI and I know he'll get me to Thailand. I'll be posting more about the struggle in deciding to go, how it is stretching me before I leave, and how you can continue to pray for my journey. Thanks for reading!!
