Dear <name>,

 

            In 2019 Bethel church sent a team of students and adults to Miami, FL to partner with a ministry serving under-resourced families in Dade county.  Asher, Mara, and Jim will be heading back to Dade county in Miami, FL on a short-term mission trip early summer.

While in Miami we will be ministering to families in their community as we partner with True Vine Christian Church and Kidz XL. Located on the border of the Westchester/Olympia Heights communities of Miami in the 33165, zip code, a population of over 100,000 people within a 3-mile radius of the church. 80% of the homes in these communities speak Spanish as the primary language. In addition, the obesity of the children in these communities exists in epidemic proportions.

The team from will come alongside the members and students of our partner church, True Vine.  We will serve and serve with True Vine church and help get ready for KidsXL’s summer ministry season.  KidsXl will be in a new building and at a different location than past summers.  Therefore, we will help with preparing rooms, painting, cleaning, and increasing community awareness of KidsXL.

We will be working alongside more than 20 other students and adults from Bethel to partner with True Vine Christian church and KidsXL to serve the Miami community.  Our team and community focus will be on developing gospel authenticity through relationships with True Vine Church, gospel intentionality through helping prepare KidsXL for summer 2021, and gospel hospitality through helping the Gambles, a missionary family from Bethel church, as they begin their transition to the mission field. 

 

            I am writing to ask you to prayerfully consider joining our team through your support.  First, please partner with me in praying for the people we will be serving, for our (Asher, Mara and Jim) health and effectiveness as team members, and for the many details of this trip.

            Secondly, please consider joining us by financially. We are each responsible for raising $800 ($2400 total) for this 10-day trip, and any additional donations beyond that amount will go towards team members in need, the work projects in Miami, and KidsXL. If you would like to join with us in this way, please make your tax-deductible gift by a check payable to Bethel Church and sending it to me at (Jim’s address is at the bottom).  If you are not concerned with receiving a donation receipt you can send funds electronically through PayPal to: [email protected] or use the link below!

 

            Thank you for praying about being a vital part of this effort.

 

Sincerely,

 

Jim, Mara, and Asher
