Fiji & Samoa - A Request

I will be leading a team to Fiji & Samoa, and this outreach is only 2 months away! I've been so busy teaching and grading that it has really snuck up on me... Really? Only 2 months?! I just taught on Friday on the books of 1 & 2 Thessalonians, and actually, Jeff and Carol Loehr from Hockinson were visiting and were able to sit in on my lectures. I love my home church!!! Anyway, here are some photos:

Our Fiji/Samoa outreach team is meeting weekly in addition to our lectures and homework. We are providing extra training for the students going on outreach so they can learn how to teach what they are learning in the Bible more effectively. Some of the topics we will cover in the next two months during our outreach training times are:

• Using Biblical Storying to teach the Bible among illiterate groups of people.
• How to prepare and preach sermons.
• Teaching the Inductive Bible Study Method.
• How to give a Bible Overview.
• How to teach a book of the Bible in context among non-Bible-students

I am still teaching in the Asia Pacific DTS and in a weekly Bible study as well as grading homework and preparing teaching for Colossians and Philemon in the SBS, and connecting with our contacts in Fiji & Samoa and our travel agent.

So... I've been busy to say the least... but God is doing awesome things! But, with most of my time being taken up with teaching responsibilities, I have little to no time to work to raise money for outreach.

So this brings me to my request: I am in need of finances for outreach. Almost all of my monthly support goes to monthly expenses, therefore I need an additional one-time amount of about $2000 for my airfares. My students are also needing to see funds come in for this amount. We have a deadline to purchase our tickets by next Friday, May 13th.

Would you pray about giving towards this amount? If you are interested, there are two ways to give and both are tax-deductible:

• The first is through Hockinson Community Church in Washington. If you attend there, you can drop a check in the offering this Sunday with a note that it's for Jillian Wellman.
• The second is online through the University of the Nations Kona. Simply click on the link below and it will take you to my staff support webpage.

Thanks so much for your aloha and kokua (support) - it means so much to me.

Love you all,

Jillian
