big summer!

here's the letter i'm going to be sending out for the summer...

hey people,

it's tori. i want to let you guys know about a few amazing things that
God is letting me be a part of this yearŠ

first, refuge (the high school ministry of healing place church), will be
taking a missions trip to the dream center in los angelas. (july 16-24) on
this trip we will be given many opportunities to reach out to the lost, the
hurting, and the forgotten. We will be participating in a number of
outreaches and serving opportunities. i know that God wants to do incredible
things in us and through us on this tripŠ and i¹m believing that through
this experience, our eyes we will be opened even more to the reality of what
goes on in this world and even in our own country. and i believe that what
we encounter on this trip will not only affect the people there, but it will
change us and push us to take more action to bring people into the love of
JesusŠ

next, God is allowing me to be a part of an internship at healing place
called elevate.(begins in august and lasts until may) this program provides
several classes and a lot of hands on experience in ministry. i know that
God has called me to give my life to Him through ministry, and i believe
that this is the perfect opportunity for me to learn how to do that. i want
to do all that i can to reach the lost. they are the only reason that this
earth is still spinning. i want to dedicate my life to leading them to
Jesus, and i believe that elevate will equip me to do that.

i am truly amazed at all that God is allowing me to participate in this
year. please support me through your prayers. i need them more than
anything.

and i also need a lot of financial support.
the cost of the missions trip to los angelas is $1,000.
and the fees for elevate are $700 (?)

so if you can help with finances that is much appreciated, but either
way, please support me through your prayer.

thank you all so much.
