Anna's Faith Journey




As the holiday season approaches, we would like to bring a special request for the girl we've mentioned in previous updates from "the big country" north of us. Anna recently curtailed her visit to her home country as some govt. officials showed up at a church service where she was sharing. 

She had previously made some contacts in La0s with a ministry reaching out to Chn*ese girls through teaching Ch*nese, so she traveled directly to La0s from the big country. Here is a short report from Anna: 

"Besides  attending language classes in La0tian half-days at the local university (for my visa), I’m helping out with a La0 young girls who are interested in learning Ch*nese. The team I joined here has been 'sowing' into their lives for the past few years and have seen progress both with them being able to communicate in Ch*nese and their being open to faith in Him. I meet these La0 friends twice a week. I've committed myself to this ministry until June 2020. The La0tian girl that I'm living  with just received the Lord."

Could we ask you to consider an end of the year gift to help Anna in her ministry to live and speak the gospel into the Laotian girls' lives? Her supporters from the big country are having a hard time time transferring support to her due to govt. restrictions.

Anna's expenses are about $1000/month of which $400/month is coming from her home churches and friends. Would you consider either a one time gift or commit to a monthly gift for the next 6 months to Anna's support while she is in La0s?

Steps to donating: Go to "Giving Options on side bar at the left side of this blog.
Online Giving 
1. Click on the "Giving on Line" link 
2. Choose amount you want to donate
3. Click in the box labeled "What do you want to donate to?"  and type Zhao, Anna.
4. The rest of the form should be self-explanatory.
By Mail - follow the instructions on the side bar and, indicate your gift is for the Anna Zhao project (instead of us).

Anna has a long term dream of studying at Bethany's Montessori teacher training in Minnesota but they are still working on their registration to accept International students. They are hoping to be able to accept Anna in June next year. 

Thank you for your consideration, Anna is a special woman of God. 

Serving Christ with You, Steve and Alberta
