Boo-Ya Week 5

Romans 10:14~15 "But before people can ask the Lord for help, they must beleive in him; and before they can believe in him, they must hear about him; and for them to hear about the Lord, someone must tell them."

Hello everybody! Sorry about the delay of me re-posting my blog. The first time I saw that verse was when we were in church talking about the missions conference that is coming up. Romans 10:14-15 is a good verse because it is true and explains why a lot of believers don't understand God. All we as believers need to do is follow that verse, and help others as well.

This past week was amazing, BOO YA! Last Saturday I received a total of $630.00, five hundred from one person, and one hundred from another and then the magic thirty dollars. This continues to confirm that I am doing the right thing. I am halfway there in my fundraising for my trip. I am so amazed at what God can do and this reaffirms that I am doing the right thing.

Last Sunday we had our second China meeting. Starting March 1st I get to begin reading the book of Matthew ( I'll keep you guys posted).

My next fundraisers coming up are a babysitting night on March 6th. Please... anyone who has children, wants to get out and have fun drop your kids off at ABChurch and they will be in good hands. Also, involving babysitting, I have recieved a job to baby-sit my science teacher's kids for ten hours next month and I will use that money to go toward my trip as well.

Thank you so much for praying for me and everything else you wonderful people are doing. I feel so lucky and blessed by each one of you to have you in my corner!

爱 你 (Love You)

Now It's Real!

Proverbs 16:9
In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps.


Wow, nice verse right? I was reading my bible just the other day, and came across that verse. To me, this verse means through our lives we plan in our hearts what we want to do. Then, sometime during that we should realize that God is planning our steps the whole time, so whatever we are thinking, well God has already planned.

Today, my first $400 was due. Thanks to many of you + what I earned on my own, I raised $276 of it. Also, one of my next fundraisers in April is a Fine Arts show where I will be singing by myself the song "So Small" by Carrie Underwood. I am really nervous and still need prayers! If I win I will received money to go toward the trip to China

Next Sunday we have a mission team meeting where we will talk about our progress in prayer, support and turn in our application forms. I am very thankful for all your prayers and support. I know that God will provide for our needs.

Please continue to pray for me, my team, the leaders and the people in China we will be meeting with.

Love You All,
Kaitlyn

Week 2 Update

Matthew 9: 37-38 Then he said to his disciples, "The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field".

Hello everyone! My mom read me a few Bible verses and I really liked this one. When I think of this verse I think, "the harvest is the people in the worldwho haven't heard about God, the people that know and trust that God is well God. Then, the workers are His servants, the believers. I think of myself as his servant. Someone that will go and tell the world about him just like he says in Mark 16:15."

I wanted to update you all with my progress. I have received my first sponsor check. Thank you to Jim & Ginger Ravella! Yours is the first check I've received! I also have saved $31 from babysitting. My first deposit for the trip is due Sunday.

My next meeting for China is the 22nd where we will be learning dramas and possibly start our Chinese learning. I received my passport already too.

Love,
爱(ai),
