Maddy to Mexico

Dear family & friends,

I am going on my very first mission trip this summer! I will be going with Teen Mania Ministries to Matamoros, Mexico (July 10th-24th). We are going to help many families who live in this area. Many of the people we will meet live in makeshift homes & have to scavenge through trash just to survive. We will play with children, meet parents, and share with them the hope that can only come from Jesus. We will share the gospel through dramas as well as children’s programs. I am excited about this opportunity to share God’s love with these people.

I would love to give my family & friends an opportunity to get involved in this cause. This trip costs $987 + my airfare. It would be a help to me and my family if you could be one of my sponsors. If you cannot, then I totally understand. I would really appreciate your prayers though!

If you would like to help donate money towards my trip you can either…

• send me a check (checks made out to “Teen Mania”) please email my mom for our physical address if you don’t have it already @ bled4you2@yahoo.com
• Donate online @ www.globalexpeditions.com. You’ll need my personal ID number, which is 2602644.

I have a few deadlines I’m working with. 50% of my trip balance is due by June 15th. I’d like to have the other ½ turned in by the end of June. All donations are tax deductable.

I have some other fundraiser ideas in the works, including a yard sale… I will let you know when they are planned. Also, I will be keeping this blog updated with my thoughts and also stories of my adventure in Mexico. Stop by some time.

I really appreciate your support!

Love,

Madison
