i will be going on a missions trip over spring break to the czech republic. over the past 2 months i have been raising support through finances and prayer. i have had many promises for prayer, and i'm almost half way to my financial goal of $2100. knowing how much time i spend on ff, i thought it would be good to post this on here for our "531" members to read about. i will be going with 12 others for about 10 days. anyways, it is a privilege for me to be going, and i, as well as our entire team, would undoubtedly appreciate your prayers and support.

Dear Friends and Family,

There is no doubt that God has been working in my life since I enrolled at Liberty University a year and a half ago. Since coming to Liberty I have taken great spiritual strides. In doing so, opportunities in ministry are abundant and it has been very encouraging to become involved and make a difference. I am writing to share a way that I can make an impact in our world and ask if you might prayerfully consider helping me in this exciting opportunity to minister.

Light Ministries is the missions outreach of Liberty University. This ministry gives students and fellow believers, including myself, the chance to share God’s word face-to-face on the missions field. Over Spring break of this upcoming year, I will have the chance to go to the Czech Republic for ten days. My excitement for this trip is indescribable. Although I have always wanted to minister to different parts of the world, I have never been on a missions trip. God has truly laid it on my heart, especially in the last two years, to take part in a missions trip. While I am in the Czech Republic, I will have the opportunity to minister to atheistic teens in a number of different ways. I am eager to see God work as I get to share with a lost nation the hope and peace the only Jesus brings. In Romans 10 it says, “How can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? How can they hear without someone preaching to them?” I believe God has called me to the Czech Republic during Spring break to tell those who have not heard.

I will need to raise $2100.00 to make this trip a reality. Please pray with me that God will not only prepare my heart for this time of ministry, but that He will also provide the finances. Thank you so very much for your support and prayers. I look forward to either meeting with some of you, or connecting with you through email or phone in the next few weeks.

Sincerely,

Bryson Goss
