| Oct 11th 2011 Dear Family, Friends and Supporters, We hope this letter finds you in good spirits and good health. Mysister (Rebekah Ermel) and I (Alexandra Ermel) are writing to inform you and your family of our plans for the upcoming New Year. Liebenzell Mission, an international Christian organization of which our church is a part, has organized a mission trip to Germany for us this coming January. The purpose of the trip is to work in the Liebenzell 'head quarters' and serve the people there - adults, children and teens alike. Our main role will be to work with young adults in the Discipleship School and provide English tutoring, one-on-one counseling and spiritual support, and to work as general volunteers. Periodically, we will be travelling with the Discipleship team to different cities, organizing youth events, children's programs and outreaches in cooperation with the churches established there. The goal is to stimulate young minds and hearts in the name of Jesus Christ through relationships, and to reach out to the community through these special events. In turn, we seek our own personal growth in faith as we take on this new and exciting challenge. Without the support of our family and friends, we never would have had the encouragement and strength to put together our first long-term mission trip. We want to thank you for your support thus far, and ask that above all you keep us in your prayers. Ifyou feel inclined to send a check as a token of your support, please make it out to Willowdale Evangelical Church, and the memo to "Errnel's Mission Trip", to ensure that the money given will be tax-deductible. Thank you once again. Blessings, Alexandra and Rebekah Ermel |
