I am filled up with the fullness of joy when I think of you and the sacrifices you have made for the furtherance of the Gospel. I want to thank our leaders who have a vision to take the Gospel to the outer most parts of the earth. I want to thank our teachers who by faithfully teaching each Sunday have prepared our hearts to be obedient to God’s call. I want to thank the prayer warriors who have interceded and are interceding daily for God’s power and protection. I want to thank those who labor and toil and give sacrificially to make this trip happen. I want to thank children who sacrificed their whole life savings for this trip. I want to thank each of the families who have allowed their youth to “go into to all the world and make disciples”. I especially want to thank my husband Randy for the many sacrifices he has made so that our family could participate in the great commission. I want to thank Maisie and Meggie for being an example to me to trust God’s provision. I want to thank my parents, Wallace and Sharon Williams for supporting my decision to go.
15 You yourselves also know, Philippians, that at the first preaching of the gospel, after I left Macedonia, no church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving but you alone; 16 for even in Thessalonica you sent a gift more than once for my needs. 17 Not that I seek the gift itself, but I seek for the profit which increases to your account. 18 But I have received everything in full and have an abundance; I am amply supplied, having received from Epaphroditus what you have sent, a fragrant aroma, an acceptable sacrifice, well-pleasing to God. 19 And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus. 20 Now to our God and Father be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
- Philippians 4:15-20
Great is your reward!

Great to see some of my former students spreading the word of God! I will be praying for you as you travel and serve God. I will be praying hardest for the girls as they have to put up with Paul, Aron, Zach, and Jacob! :)
