Dearest Friends and Family,
A very belated HAPPY NEW YEAR to you
all! The festive, Christmas season came and went in such a very merry manner
that I can hardly believe the month of January has already drawn to a close.
The American Spring semester has
arrived, and classes have begun for Hunter and me. We are excitedly beginning
the journey of being college students, together, again. As we begin to read
numerous books for our various classes, as well as take note of assignments to
come, we also look forward to the summer months and our vision for that time.
Through much prayerful consideration
and contemplation, we believe that God is guiding us to a summer missions trip
to South Africa and it’s surrounding countries. From the beginning of June to
early August (approximately 2 months), we have decided to travel back to my
beloved family and home. There is much need in the beautiful continent of
Africa, and Hunter and I deeply desire to be used by Christ as instruments of
His love and mercy. Our hope is to travel to Zambia and serve wherever there is
need.
Of course, in order to embark on
such a journey, there are expenses to consider. The most cost effective plane
tickets we can find for the two of us amounts to $4,976.80. (It will continue
to fluctuate, but mainly rise in price). We also have financial responsibility towards
our bills in Phoenix while we are overseas (such as rent, car insurance, health
insurance, etc.) which amounts to around $1,820 for those 2 months. Visas for
Zambia will be about $100 for the two of us. We will need about $200 for extra
expenses as well (such as food along the way). In essence, we will need to
raise roughly $7,096.80. This will cover our plane tickets, our bills while we
are away, along with extra expenses. We have no doubt that God is going to
provide our every need. Maybe you’d like to have a part in His answer to our
prayers.
God has engraved the Great Commission
on our hearts. We are so excited to take part in furthering the Great
Commission of our Savior, sharing with a lost and dying world the hope we have
in Christ. God is doing incredible things in Africa, and we cannot wait to be a
part of it!
More than anything, we would greatly
appreciate your prayers, that God would prepare our hearts for the trip, and
that He would work in and through us while we are in the beautiful continent of
Africa. To God be the glory!
With
much love in Christ,
Hunter and Andrea Combs
