Dear Friends and Family,
One of my heart’s desires has
been to go and minister overseas. Due to some of our kids being on the autism
spectrum that desire seemed an impossibility. But God! Joshua is my 19 years
old Jesus loving blessing who is on the Autism spectrum. Our church has the
opportunity to serve in the Dominican Republic alongside fellow missionaries
Fernando and Joie (Puckett) Cuevas. When it was first mentioned Joshua came to
us and said he felt the Lord was telling him to go and help Fernando and Joie.
God had laid it on my heart to go as well. But God! That desire of long-ago God
is bringing to fruition. The icing on the cake is I will be ministering with my
son, whom I thought would never be able to go overseas. But God! We will be
going with a group that understands Joshua (and sometimes his autism
challenges), are excited for him to go and are willing to help look out for him,
including Fernando and Joie. But God!
Our trip is planned for June
23 – 30th of 2020. We will be serving at Holt’s House of Hope in
Boca Chica. Our team will have the opportunity to help with Zo!e Ministries and
work along side Fernando and Joie Cuevas. We will assist the local residents by
doing community service work and by serving in the
local orphanage. We will
work with the boys and girls at Holt’s House and do community outreach in the
area. Our mission is simple, we intend to make Jesus known and to love on the
people there.
Our team has been doing
multiple fundraisers to offset the cost of the trip. The total cost for both
Joshua and I to go is $3000 dollars ($1500 per person). This includes air fare,
food and housing. Would you be willing to help us get to the Dominican by
giving a one-time donation? Most importantly would you be willing to start praying
for us that lives will be changed for His glory? Pray for our team, our safety,
and our individual callings. Pray for the people of the Dominican Republic –
and those along the way - that we will encounter, and for the financial means
necessary for our team to reach our destination. Ultimately, pray that the work done there is not
ours but His; that the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are glorified through it and
the Kingdom is advanced.
Joshua and I thank you in
advance for your prayers and for any monetary support that you are able to give
towards our trip. We pray blessings and favor over each of you. I can’t wait to
tell you all the “But God!” moments that your prayers are going to give us.
In His Service,
Sarah and Joshua Tinkel
