Dear Family,
After much prayer and fasting, I believe God is once again leading me into another adventure to further His kingdom. To God be the glory! Having finished my time with Coastland Consultants, I felt God’s call for me to go and join Street Life Ministries in
So I am planning on joining Street Life in their efforts to take the Gospel to the streets. Not only will I help work with them in their efforts to bring life to the streets, this will also be a period of a substantial increase in my life and hopefully, a launching pad for the ministry I want to start one day.
As I am preparing to leave for NY, I wanted to inform all of those who have supported me in the past and those that are close to me that I will now need to raise a minimum of one thousand dollars a month to work with this ministry. This will cover everything from living expenses to food, laundry, traveling, and other expenses along the way. This ministry is a Full-Time job, and I will not be able to pick up any additional work while being with them. I know that now is rather a difficult time for most people, but God promises that he will water those who water others (Prov. 11:25) and that those who sow generously will reap in abundance (2 Cor. 9:6). We also know that it is better for your sake that you contribute to any ministry or missionary. As Paul says, the money you provide is credited to your account in Heaven (Phil. 4:17).
I could continue with verses explaining the benefits of giving but as a mature Christian you probably know them all. I am asking if you would pray and ask God if He would have you give to what I will be doing in NY. Every donation you give, whether monthly or a one-time gift is tax deductible for your benefit.
Lastly, I would like to point out the importance of small monthly gifts. I have spoken to many people who wanted to make a gift of 10 dollars but felt it was too small, but when ten people all feel the same way it can end up being a considerable loss. Remember no amount is too little. Pray and ask God if He wants you to partake in this journey with me whether you feel to give a small amount or large. We must be obedient.
If you feel led to give you may write out all checks to Street Life Ministries with nothing in the memo, just send the check addressed to me at the following address.
May God Bless You Always,
PS. There are two principal ways that you can be particularly helpful without feeling like you are giving too little or too much. One way is if everyone I send a letter to would try to support me 15 dollars a month, which seems little, but will cover me. I also know that it is frustrating to have to send so many checks, so I have also set up a website where you can commit to supporting me the entire sum of a years worth of support, 180 dollars, during one month. That way you can just send one check and have the same effect as if you had supported me all year long. If you chose to select a month to help me, I would specifically spend that month praying for you and your family. On the website, I will have a list of months that I will be serving with this ministry and how many people have chosen to support me for that month. Each month will need 5 people supporting to make it work well. https://sites.google.com/site/hudsontaylorwells/
