Thanking Ministry Partners Today

Here is the letter I am sending to everyone who made a donation in 2010. I wanted to post it on the blog to let others know of our plans to expand in 2011.

Dear prayer partner in ministry,

If you are receiving this email, you have given through prayers and contributions to this ministry in 2010. Thanks to your donation, we have expanded now to 18 locations including international partnerships, and that is not counting Los Cabos, Mexico, which is scheduled soon to begin! We are praying about expanding to locations such as GA Tech and another outreach on a campus in Alabama to students. We are also praying about beginning table outreaches of evangelism in Philadelphia, Canada, Switzerland, Cambodia, Boston, India, and San Diego in 2011. I am enjoying this work so much, following God as He leads.

Thank you for your prayers. When this ministry first began in 2002, a Christian came to visit me at my table on the Venice Beach boardwalk. He gave me unexpected advice I will never forget. He caught me by surprise when he said, “Stay low.” I paused and told him I would let that be my prayer for the outreach (never dreaming it would expand to any other location.)

We want to “stay low” for Jesus to be lifted up, as He continues to grow the ministry as He deems best.

I am making progress in sending out receipts and thank you gifts to anyone who made a donation to Lighting the Way in 2010. This year, I am sending an audio copy of my testimony on CD (recorded last fall at Valley Grove Baptist Church in Knoxville, TN) and materials for witnessing to cults such as Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses with tracts and DVDs.

You should be receiving a thank you package for me in the mail by the end of the month. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR PARTNERING WITH US TO REACH THE LOST.

In Jesus,

Dwayna
