Africa Support Letter

Dear Friends and Family,

     I am so excited to share with you the unbelievable journey I get to take on August 21st, 2012, to Kenya for three weeks. But more important than that, I am excited to share with you what led to this.  So let me walk you through this.

     For about two years now I have had a strong feeling that my calling is missionary work.  I had been praying about my future and asked God to lead me in the direction I am supposed to go.  I have now been blessed with the opportunity to go to Kenya.

     I feel as if God put on my heart to serve as a full-time missionary in Africa.  I have not yet determined my exact role as a missionary, but as most of you already know, I have a strong passion for children. This opportunity is more of a visionary trip where I will get to see the needs of the people and witness God’s awesome work through other missionaries.  I am hoping this will give me a clearer vision in the direction God is leading me. 

     Now that I have been given this opportunity, I am responsible for raising my funds of $2,000.

     If God is putting this on your heart to join me through your prayers and/or financial support, then I would appreciate hearing from you on the enclosed response card. Thank you for taking the time to read this letter.  I am truly appreciative of all your prayers and any financial support that you are able to provide.

     Romans 12:6-8 We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If a man’s gift is prophecy, let him use it in proportion to his faith. If it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach; if it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously; if it is leadership, let him govern diligently; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully.

     Attached is a tentative schedule that I will be following while in Kenya. It lists the places I will be visiting and gives a better idea of what I will be doing while I am in Africa.





God Bless,

Kaylene M. Jenkins
