Our Original Support Letter sent in March 2009

Jambo friends!

Life has been flying by since our marriage a little over a year ago. Cason is working at an accounting firm in Indianapolis and recently passed his CPA exams. Colleen has been working at a wildlife education facility, giving live animal presentations at schools and libraries. Both of us feel the Lord leading us to a new chapter in our lives. We have been praying about where He would have us serve Him and we are excited to share that He has opened up an incredible opportunity in Nakuru, Kenya with World Gospel Mission!

After graduating from Taylor University in 2007, Cason traveled to Kenya for a few weeks with a group of young men to work on a construction project at the Baby Center in Nakuru. Ever since that experience, the Lord has kept missions in Kenya on the forefront of both of our minds. It is awesome to look back and see how God used the connections that Cason made while in Kenya to lead us to this place and time in our lives. Cason is going to be meeting WGM’s need for a Kenya field treasurer, and Colleen will have the joy of caring for young orphans at the Baby Center in Nakuru. We are both also excited to get involved in church groups, after school activities, and sports ministries as those opportunities arise. Our initial commitment to WGM is for one year, but we are definitely open to the Lord’s leading after that.

If the Lord would lead you to join with us in this new chapter of our lives, we would be honored and humbled. Our greatest need is to have supporters to faithfully pray for us and support us financially for this one year endeavor. Please pray specifically that we will be prepared to go, that hearts in Kenya will be willing to receive the gospel, and that we will put our trust fully in the Lord to provide our needs. Our expenses are approximately $2,200 per month, which covers travel, housing, ministry, and daily living costs. If you desire to give back to the Lord by supporting us monthly or with a one-time donation, there is information enclosed that
will explain how to make a tax-deductible gift. Our departure date depends on how quickly we can raise support, but we are currently planning on leaving this fall.

Thank you for your interest in our lives and your continued prayer. We will keep in touch with you as we eagerly look forward to our time in Kenya.

Serving Christ with you,
Cason & Colleen Wittig
