A Real Blessing

We have been so amazed by the love of people and the help that has been offered. It just fills us with joy and happiness. We are so thankful for you all from the bottom of our hearts.

One young lady has decided that God has led her to come and help us with the move back, and to minister while she is here with us in India. She will help Erin with the girls and with all the moving requirements. Then I will use her in some ministry aspects with women and children while here as well.

Kari is thinking about serving as a missionary full time, and this will give her a taste of third world countries, which truly helps in decision making. She will be with us for a week. Her letter is added below and we ask you to consider and pray over her request.

Thank you all again for your love, support and prayers. God uses them all and we are so blessed to be held in the palm of his hand.

Kari's Letter:

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Greetings in the name of our Savior, Jesus Christ! I hope that God is doing as many wonderful things in your life as He is in mine. Upon returning from serving as a missionary in Spain in 2008, I’ve been working in Indiana, where God is gradually unfolding his plan for my life.

I want to share with you a challenging ministry opportunity that God has presented to me. From May 11-21 God has offered me the chance to serve in Bangalore, India. I will be assisting Alan and Erin Seymour with their move to the United States due to Alan’s medical condition. In addition, I may help with college women and children’s ministry.

It is so amazing that God has opened the door for me in this way, but the exciting part is that you will be able to share in this ministry in several ways. First, you can help pray for me and the workers in India. I will need prayer that God will prepare me for my visit and bless my efforts, as well as encourage the permanent missionaries in India and give Erin and Alan a smooth transition to the United States. I will also need prayers that my financial needs will be met. At this time I need to raise $1,400 for the trip, which includes international airfare, visas and vaccinations.

Another way you can be involved is to help provide that financial support. Would you consider supporting me? I will need to raise all my funds before May in order to pay for airline tickets. You may send support to P.O. Box 144, Indiana, PA 15701. Whether you feel led to contribute financially, through prayer, or both, all of your support is appreciated.

I look forward to serving the Lord in India and letting you know how God has worked through me when I return.

Because of His Grace,

Kari E. Randall
