Support Letter

Greetings!                                           

I pray this letter finds you in good spirits. I’d like to tell you about an adventure I am going to be taking November 2014. I will be traveling with Wise Intentional Leadership Development Ministries (WILD) to Kathmandu, Nepal to train a core group of young Christians in the WILD leadership material, WILD world view material and possibly youth ministry, if time allows. WILD material is, “Simple, understandable, culturally transferable leadership development material from the Christian perspective. WILD put the material together so that it is extremely affordable, at little to no cost, so that we can develop those at the grass roots level. To change a culture, you have to develop the grass roots.”  ~Mike Prom

Our goal is to train this core group so they can teach their fellow countrymen. This comes from 2 Timothy 2:2 - ¹ You then, my child, be strengthened by the grace that is in Christ Jesus, ² and what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also. (ESV)

We’ll be focusing on building relationships and training the future spiritual leaders of Nepal. Mike has tasked me with teaching the leadership material, while he will focus on the world view material. We will also be doing some strategic planning with the WILD Nepal National Team. “The world view helps Christians to understand and know why they should believe what they are supposed to believe. It compares different world views to Christianity so they are able to defend and explain their beliefs to other world views such as Hinduism, Islam, Atheism etc.” ~Mike Prom

I am writing to you for support, both through prayer and monetarily.  The cost for the trip is $2500. If you feel led to support my trip there are several ways you can send help. You can snail mail a check, with my name in the memo to: WILD, P.O. Box 662, Rhinelander, WI 54501.  Gifts are encouraged by November 8^th. 

On the WILD webpage (http://www.wildleadership.org/) at the bottom of the page is a “Donate Now” button. You can donate online and send Mike a follow-up email to let him know your donation is for me at wildministries@gmail.com.  All donations are tax deductible.

One major need though is prayer, Nepal is a Hindu/Buddhist country and it is a “Restricted Country” in regards to Christianity, we cannot just go out on the sidewalks and preach the gospel. An email or text message with a note of encouragement would be greatly appreciated.

It is not uncommon for me to be gone for 2-3 weeks at a time for fire assignments, but this is different and I am a little nervous about being half way around the world, away from my family. A good friend of mine told me to look at this as a “Fire assignment for God!”  I pray that when we leave Nepal that we would leave people on fire…for GOD!

May you be blessed in the coming days.
