Support Need

prayercard

prayercardDear friends,
In case you haven’t heard I am planning to return to the Philippines at the end of September. I will be teaching middle school drama, helping with productions, and also being a part of team that does design work for Faith Academy (publications, promotions, etc). I will also be exploring new ways to be a part of the Threads of Hope ministry. Last but definitely not least I will continue to serve Beulah Beach with things like publications and website remotely. Busy? Yes. Aweomse? Completely!

It was in April of this year while I was visiting the Philippines with my mom that I really felt God calling me to take this step. I spent a lot of the summer praying about it because due to a busy summer here at Beulah it really seemed impossible to be able to leave this soon. By the end of the summer I knew for sure it was suppose to do and I began putting the word out, sending letters, and making steps to raise support and prepare to go. Unfortunately, because of the timing, I am in need of immediate action when it comes to support. If you have been planning to have been considering what you can do to support me financially, I kindly ask that you do so as soon as possible. I am unable to purchase a plane ticket, though all other preparations are in place, until I have have approximately $1800 pledged as monthly support.

There are several ways you can do this.

Online
You can donate online via the First Love International site. Please put my name in the “other ministry” slot and indicate in the “special instructions” if your gift will be monthly. Righ now there is not a way to do an automatic pay through credit card unless your credit card company offers an automatic bill pay through their website.

Mail
You can mail a check directly to First Love. You can do a monthly withdrawl from your financial institution if you send a voided check and indicate when/amount to be withdrawn.

Auto Bill Pay
Most banks do an automatic free bill pay system where they will mail a check and amount to the address you specify.

Thank you so much for your kind support, encouragement, and prayers.

Love,
Crystal

Bohol Earthquake Relief

The 2013 Bohol earthquake occurred on October 15, 2013, at 8:12 a.m. (PST) in Bohol, an island province located in Central Visayas, Philippines. The magnitude of the earthquake at the epicenter was recorded at Mw 7.2, located 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) SW of Sagbayan town, at a depth of 12 kilometres (7.5 mi). It affected the whole Central Visayas region, particularly Bohol and Cebu. The quake was felt in the whole Visayas area and as far as Masbate island in the north and Cotabato provinces in southern Mindanao. According to official reports by the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC), 222 were reported dead, 8 were missing, and 976 people were injured.

The Groom Has Cold Feet (and my life as a director)

When I got back to Faith last August I had just had a whirlwind of a summer with no real time for reading plays. So, I began my frantic search for a script that would meet my ultimate goal of “display the talents of this particular group of kids.” Finding scripts is a daunting task. For me as a director it is absolutely the WORST part of the process of producing a play. We aren’t auditioning the world here only our world and that does limit what’s available to us. Sometimes content limits script use particularly when copyrights do not allow for editing. Sometimes the set or costumes or music limits us because what is needed is too elaborate for what we can accomplish. Sometimes we don’t have the right number of males vs females. And sometimes, frustratingly, we are unable to obtain the rights to produce a show because we are outside of America. I find this to be the silliest of all reasons. So sometimes you settle for something you aren’t totally thrilled with but figure you can make work and the process of making it something everyone involved will be thrilled with begins.

Catching Up

A busy life, outdated website software, and getting hacked are all major contrubuting factors to my lack of updates. We’ll just leave it at that. Thanks to one of my besties, Ben Daron, my site is back up and running. I hope to continue getting it up-to-date, but you know me (or maybe you don’t), no promises! 😉
