I figured I should put up a copy of my letter

Dear friends and family,

I want to start by thanking you for your prayers and support throughout my life thus far. I am so grateful to have such great people surrounding me. In these last few years God has done an amazing work in me and He has done much of it through you. I am thankful. It is my hope to share in this letter an exciting opportunity that has opened up for me. In June, I will begin a two-phase mission trip. The first phase takes place in New Zealand and is called Discipleship Training School (DTS). This involves three months of curriculum that includes a variety of topics: The character and nature of God, prayer and intercession, personal devotions, hearing the voice of God, spiritual warfare, worship, true repentance, holiness and the fear of the Lord, the Father heart of God, relationships, biblical Christian world-view, and world missions. The second phase will involve mission work in one of the following countries: China, India, Jordan, Israel, Chile, or Argentina.

I feel that God has specific plans for my life and I believe this mission training will be essential preparation for the future ministry and leadership God has for me. I am taking this six-month period of time and giving it to God for whatever He wants to do in me. I feel that the fruit of this experience will be a great influence in my life and in turn, in the lives of others. The DTS will provide a structure for me to learn more about God, grow in my relationship with Him, learn to be more like Christ, and get a significantly new perspective on life. I feel the second phase of the mission trip will be beneficial in understanding other cultures, the problems that they have, the help they need, and the urgency of it. I want to grow in my willingness and ability to serve others both here and around the world.

The cost of this mission training is $6,500 and I need your support. I am requesting a pledge of money and/or prayer for this mission trip. I would also like to offer my help to you over these next three months or so until I leave. I am currently unemployed and would love to serve you in any area of work or help you may need. For more information about the mission trip you may visit www.ywam.org or call me at 708-710-0700. I have set up a blog at http://jordangibsonsblog.blogspot.com/ that I will allow me to keep you updated throughout this mission training to let you know how God is changing and growing me because of your help.

Please consider giving financially. I promise that it is going to a worthy cause.

Also, please send me your email address so I can add you to my list.

Finally, please pray. Your prayer support will be needed throughout the entire process.
God Bless,
