Dear Family and Friends,

I hope all is well with you and your family. As you may know, I have been assisting with the youth at Rainbow Forest Baptist Church this year and have worked with the two year old children for several years. I have been praying that God would provide an opportunity for me to go on a mission trip. He did! This trip will be my first one out of the country, and I am very excited to see how the Lord will use me.

He has opened the door for me to go on a short-term mission trip to Galeana, Mexico wit Rainbow Forest Baptist Church from July 12-20^th. We will be working with a Mexican pastor that lives in Galeana and he will be taking us to various remote villages. We will be doing ministry through Vacation Bible Schools, construction projects, medical outreach, sports evangelism, our youth band, drama team, hands team, puppet team and our dance team. I have been working really hard for almost a year training on my ministry team. I also am taking several additional training classes to prepare for the trip. Many teenagers in Mexico are lost and desperately need the light of Christ. We want to be a light to those who are in darkness, as well as an encouragement to those who already know Jesus Christ as their personal Savior.

This is a team project and I ask you and your family to partner with me and join our team. First, we need your prayers for the spiritual battles that we will face, as well a for our health and travel. Secondly, I want to ask you to prayerfully consider helping me with the cost of this mission trip. The total cost of this trip is (approximately) $1,000. The investment you make will have an eternal value. The investment will change the lives of these village people, however, most of all I know that my life will be changed. I am trusting God to use this trip to fuel my love and passion for Jesus Christ.

If you would like to join me in this, please make your check payable to "Rainbow Forest Baptist Church", and return it to me. All donations are tax-deductible. Even if you are not able to financially help with the cost of this trip, please pray for our team as we prepare to go, and while we are in Galeana, Mexico ministering.

You are very special to me, and you don't know how much it means to me that you would partner with me and take time to pray about being a part of our team.

Sincerely.

Whitney Boyd
