Dominican Republic Update

Dear Friends and Family,

This letter is designed to update you on the mission’s trip that I am attending to the Dominican Republic.

On March 5th, I depart to the rural Dominican Republic with Twenty-Seven students for an eight days mission’s trip. It is an endeavor God has put me in, and that I am truly looking forward to.

Did you know that the Caribbean is the hardest place to raise support for? One reason for this is stereotypes. The Caribbean is often thought of as a party destination; a place where college students go to get inebriated and have a good time. I am here to tell you that this is not the case for my trip.

Due to the recent earthquake in Haiti, we now have had a slight change of plans. During this mission’s trip our primary focus will be to witness and care for Haitians who have fled to the Dominican Republic as a safe haven. This will truly be a trip that will impact a student’s life forever.

I am excited about this opportunity to minister to those who need ministered to the most and ask you to join me in ministry. I am seeking your support and prayers for this mission. Financially, these students need to raise (as a group) $28,600 and have already raised approximately $15,000! Spiritually, we need dedicated prayer support through every phase of this mission – for fundraising as well as effective ministry while on-field.

I realize that some of you already support me and I am thankful. So, I am asking that you to pray about giving an extra $10-$50 on top of your usual contribution. Also, this must be a separate check apart from your usual contribution to the CCO. Please send the separate check, with the money for the Dominican Republic trip, made out to Bellefield Presbyterian Church to:

Bellefield Presbyterian Church
Attn: Dominican Republic Trip
4001 Fifth Avenue
Pittsburgh, Pa 15213

Thank you so much for your prayerful support and helping to make this opportunity a reality. God Bless!

In Christ,
Andy Moore
