In case this didn’t make it to anyone out there… here is my support letter for my service in Seattle with University Ministries’ college ministry – The Inn!  (Click here to support me financially.)

Hello My Loved Ones!

            Well, after graduating Magna Cum Lade from Loyola Marymount University with a degree in Communication Studies, I am leaving Los Angeles and heading up to “The City of Goodwill” – Seattle!  This decision was very surprising (at least to me), but God works in unexpected ways and I couldn’t be more excited about the opportunity.

Beginning in August, I will be working with the University Ministries, a college ministry of University Presbyterian Church in Seattle; I will be one of five full-time coordinators on UMin’s 12- person staff. UMin focuses on building relationships with University of Washington students to encourage and challenge them as they grow in their personal walks of faith.

A major part of UMin outreach occurs at “The Inn” where every Tuesday night more than 1,000 students gather to praise God, hear the Gospel through an insightful message and experience fellowship within the body of Christ.  After experiencing Bel Air Presbyterian’s college ministry, “The Quest,” I can say wholeheartedly that I have a deep love and passion for serving God through interpersonal relationships with college students.

One of my main responsibilities at UMin will be to plan and coordinate the events of the Inn.  I will also have the opportunity to lead a small group Bible study (as I have for the past 3 years), meet with students one-on-one, plan retreats and other events, in addition to co-leading a missions trip abroad.

I look at the job I will soon begin with great anticipation about the amazing ways I will get to see God work, but also with apprehension about the challenges I will face serving God in full-time ministry.  I know that next year will require not only dependence on God, but dependence on the love and encouragement of others.  Because of this, UMin has asked me to create a prayer support team as part of my internship.

The primary purpose for this is to provide me with people who will pray consistently for me.  The other purpose is to raise $2,500 that will be used by UMin to fund mission trips and other ministry expenses.  Financial support is fully tax deductible, and any contributions I receive over my individual goal of $2,500 will also go to the ministry as a whole.  If you choose to support me, whether with prayerfully, financially, or both, please let me know and I’ll send you the support form.  If you would prefer to give online with credit card or e-check, you can go to www.theinnseattle.org and click the link “Donate Online” and then select the sub-funds titled “University Ministries”–”UMin Intern. 

Friends and family, I would greatly appreciate any type of support you feel God is laying on your heart to give. God has been so faithful to use your love, friendship and fellowship to shape my life to this point, and I look forward to sharing in this next step with you.

With Love,

Jenn
