Missions to Puerto Rico ~ Oct 2015

Dear Family & Friends,

We hope this letter finds you and your family doing well. Our homeschool family has just started the 2015 school year after an exciting summer filled with small getaways, like our visit to the Georgia Aquarium. Our oldest, Daisy, has started 9th grade. It’s seems like only yesterday she was zooming around in her yellow toy car and now she’s in high school. Daphne just turned thirteen and is in 8th grade. Heather and I celebrated her entrance into womanhood by giving her a ruby ring and an opportunity to interact with the dolphins at the Georgia Aquarium. Gabriel, our 6th grader, spends the majority of his free time playing Destiny and dreams of designing the coolest video game ever. Amaryllis is in 4th grade. She let her beautiful strawberry blonde hair grow out to the middle of her back, just like her grandmother. Violet has just started 2nd grade. Like her older sister, Daphne, she has quite the collection of stuffed animals. God has really blessed us with a full house.

I’m writing this letter, because God has given me the opportunity that most fathers only dream of, the opportunity to go on a mission’s trip with my daughter Daisy. We have been invited to travel to Aguadilla, Puerto Rico on October 20-27, 2015 to minister with our friend Rafael Maldonado Jr. (Ray), who leads the Puerto Rico Partnership of Churches. Ray has lead ministry teams to different churches and cities in Puerto Rico for over 10 years.  His ministry involves teaching, prophetic ministry and training, treasure hunting, prayer walks, servant evangelism and occasional projects such as making reading glasses to hand out to families in order to build friendships with the families and share about God’s love.

This will be Daisy’s first mission’s trip, which will give her the opportunity to spend time with the people of Aguadilla. Puerto Rico represents a Hispanic/Latino cultural mix, and offers countless cultural experiences and many historical locations to learn about too.  We will be taking this trip to Iglesia La ViƱa De Agua Viva, pastored by Luis and his wife Annie Irizarry, which is one of the churches Ray partners with, which is Christ-centered and actively seeks to make Jesus known among unreached people groups.

As excited as we are about this trip, we cannot do it alone. Along with prayer support, we would like to ask you to consider giving financially to our trip. We are responsible for raising all of the funds needed, which totals $3,000 (which pays for the plane tickets, housing, food and ministry expenses while we’re there.) If you choose to give, please make checks payable to Bear Creek Ranch (put “PR Trip” on the memo line) and mail them to 872 Gator Rd, Portal, GA 30450. No gift is too small, and all are greatly appreciated. Gifts are tax deductible, and you will receive a receipt in the mail at year’s end.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and for considering giving. We look forward to sharing with you about our trip when we get back! If you have any questions don’t hesitate to contact us.

In His loving hands,

Kevin & Daisy Trimkevintrim15@gmail.com
