This is my prayer letter for my missions trip to HK

Dear Everyone,

How are you doing? I hope everything is going well. God has been teaching me a lot about his heart for the world outside of San Diego. I have always wanted to live my entire life here in San Diego. San Diego is the best place in the world is it not? I went to Europe and saw that the world is actually a much bigger place than the myopia of San Diego. God has been showing me that although San Diego may be the best place in the world, the best place is not necessarily where God wants me to be. I completely identified with the rich young man in Matthew 19. He held on too tightly to his riches and missed out on the kingdom of God. Many college students go on a short-term mission trip but I have never been interested in doing that. Somehow God has changed my heart during this past year. I began to pray for opportunities for this summer. This opportunity presented itself as a short-term missions trip with OMF International in Hong Kong.
While in Hong Kong, I will be teaching English to Chinese students and interacting with them through games and sports. It is a six week missions project from July 8th to August 12th. We will have opportunities to share our testimony and work with a local church.
Prayer is important and there may be a lot of spiritual warfare. It would be great if you could pray for me regularly while I am in Hong Kong. Pray that I would be constantly seeking God through his word. Pray that I would learn God’s compassion and mad love for his people. Pray also that I would be humble and open to what God would want to teach me. Pray that I will enjoy a good relationship with my teammates and team leaders. Pray that God would be glorified in Hong Kong this summer.
Of course there is the financial support portion of this letter. I need to raise $2,850 to cover the cost of this trip. If you feel burdened to help me out financially, please make checks payable to “OMF International” and write “Serve Asia-Daniel Lowe” in the memo line. You will be sent a tax-deductible receipt from OMF, and donations are non-returnable. Send to: OMF International, Attn: Rudolf Mak, 1605 Elizabeth Street, Pasadena, CA 91104.
I will keep you guys posted on what happens in Hong Kong. Let me know how I can pray for you too!

Thanks for reading!

Daniel
