Send A Missionary (part 1)

The spirit of the Lord God is upon me,
   because the Lord has anointed me;
he has sent me to bring good news to the oppressed,
   to bind up the broken-hearted,
to proclaim liberty to the captives,
   and release to the prisoners;
to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor,
   and the day of vengeance of our God;
   to comfort all who mourn... (Isaiah 61)
On Sunday we heard a young woman share a very special and truthful message, a message from God's heart.

It's worth hearing.  Go to http://sermon.net/crossroadsdc/sermonid/2732464 to listen.  I'm working on transcribing the message, so if you would like a written copy, please let me know.

The following video is a brief introduction to the work Andria will be doing with her team in Thailand.  

Andria's true story of God's work in and through brokenness means extra challenges.  She'll need extra people, people like you and me, to come alongside her.  Especially if you know a young person who has been hurt, this is a way to reach out and make a difference, not just for Andria, but for all those God will reach through what God has done in her life, bringing healing and new life!

Financial gifts of any amount will show that we are beside her in what God is calling her to do. When you go to https://secure.bethanyinternational.org/donate/index.php you'll find an online giving form -- put in your information, scroll down to "Donate to a Missionary" and put Andria's name in the form. 

Or, if you prefer, call Bethany International at 952-944-2121.  Make sure you mention Andria' name as you make your donation.

Andria has been called personally to do Isaiah 61 work -- setting the captives free -- especially to proclaim freedom to young people whose lives are filled with pain.  She has shared her testimony with many in this country, and now she will go to another part of the world where "human trafficking" leads to hopelessness and slavery for thousands upon thousands of children and youth.

Please listen to Andria's testimony from our Sunday worship service or request a written copy.

Commit to pray and give.  

Send this missionary to the work as God calls.
