Hello friends~
I just want to thank everyone again, and I've been so blessed to have everyone's support for this trip!
If you can take a look at the people CC'd in the email, it's a community of people that spans multiple eras of my life:
From elementary school when I lived in Koreatown
From middle/high school in OC
From UCLA and campus ministry and church during college
From Boston!
This list is such a precious reminder that God is the thread who connects us to one another. And, it is truly a blessing to experience and witness a God who unites us across time and distance. I am daily reminded of His love and power through you all!
Why I'm Going!
I was blessed from my trip to Nicaragua last year. But, as time passed, it weighed on my heart that these missionaries were fellow brothers and sisters to check in on and protect, rather than letting them turn into memories of my past. Thus, I decided to take this Thanksgiving as an opportunity to connect with them once again.
What I'll Be Doing!
I'll be teaching STEM classes and violin to the students at the missionaries' school. And, I also want to take this trip as a form of church encouragement and spend joyful time with the missionaries during the week!
How You Can Support!
Thankfully, all the finances are covered at the moment. But, to show appreciation for the missionaries' hospitality and encouragement of their work, I'll be giving them a love offering. So, feel free to Venmo (@songted) or Zelle (6575001613) me with any donations.
Here are some prayer requests from the missionaries!
• For the missionaries and I to be of one heart in working toward God's mission.
• For this trip to be an opportunity to connect with the youth in Nicaragua so that they may know God.
• For the STEM classes to go well and be successful when teaching the students.
And here are my prayer requests!
• For God to protect and bless this partnership between me and the missionaries.
• For this trip to be one that is pleasing before God and that I can be a vessel of God's love and light.
• For our representatives to eventually reach an agreement that serves the best interests of the people and brings this recent government shutdown to an end (Hopefully, it won't hinder me from going to Nicaragua!)
It would mean so much if you can pray for both the missionaries and me during this time!
Thank you for reading thus far! And again, I'm so encouraged by everyone's heart for this trip! God be with you all!
With love and joy,
Ted Song
