Dear Family Friend,
Over the years, you along with others have supported our family in our ministries overseas in church planting and Christian education. Because of that, I want to take you along with me on my next adventure as well. Most of all, I want you to come along with your prayers and communication, and of course if you feel that the Lord would lead you to participate financially, I’ll share more of that below.
Last year I had a most exciting opportunity: my first short-term missions trip. Along with Dr. Beverly Monroe and Ginger Kirk, I traveled to Santiago Christian Academy in Santiago, Chile. Dr. Monroe takes two or three small teams each year to English-speaking, Bible-teaching seminaries and schools around the world to assist in cleaning, organizing, and putting online campus libraries. With the goal of updating and providing better student and professor access to materials, the teams bring along supplies (sometimes even new computers or printers) and render days and weeks of work to help these schools and seminaries better operate for God’s glory and in His kingdom.
This year we have been invited back to finish the project—an estimated 4,000 more volumes (last year we completed 8,000). We will also have opportunities to visit churches, encourage missionaries and students who attend the school. This being my third opportunity to work with Dr. Monroe, I look forward to using my abilities in both library services and in the Spanish language.
And I would like you to come along via my blog http://selah-brary.blogspot.com/. At that BlogSpot even now you can see last year’s highlights. I will also send out email updates, and if you are receiving this note, you will be on that mailing (let me know if you want to be removed).
If you are able to help financially, I still need to raise $900 out of a total $1900. Gifts can be sent to my home church (with the notation of Open Treasury for Tia Reilly) at Grace Baptist Church, PO Box 12, Cedarville, OH 45314.
With faith in Him,
Tia L Reilly
