Thank you so much for your prayer and financial support this last year, it has meant more than you know!!
Wow!!! Christmas has now come and gone!! I'm home with mom and dad for the holidays before I embark on another faith step. It seems as if each time I come home God is preparing me for something greater. Its been a tremendous year of breakthroughs and growth in my spiritual walk. I am so thankful for God's unending grace! I am thankful that He makes us brand new. He meets us in our weaknesses and day by day shows more of himself. He is a gracious and loving God!! AMEN!!
I have had such a privilege of meeting, working with, and living in community with some incredible people this year! I love how it feels like I have family all over the planet. It really is a small world! This year has been very fruitful as relationships have been cultivated, lives have been restored, and the youth are getting lit up for Jesus. There is a generation of young people that are being raised up to be radically devoted to Jesus Christ. I feel called to be a part of this process. I feel called to really spur them on toward love and good deeds.
I am 10 days away from stepping out again. This time I will be staffing a school called Fire and Fragrance in April of 2012 back in Kona, Hawaii at the YWAM base. It is a 6 month school devoted to teaching students the importance of prayer, worship and missions. This school has a 3 month lecture phase and a 3 month outreach phase. This outreach phase will take the entire school to London and teams will scatter throughout Europe. Outreach locations have not yet been disclosed at this time, but I will let you all know as soon as I am informed. I am super excited to be raising up the next generation of leaders. I also am looking forward to teaching and preaching more this year. I have always enjoyed encouraging others to walk in their true potential, and identity. There will be many opportunities for me to do this, this next year, as well as disciple these students.
I have officially stepped out as a full time Missionary. Wether I am home or away my purpose is to save the lost, revive the saved, and love the outcast. I am still writing and rapping for any audience, and am not turning down opportunities to record my songs. This is where I need your help. I am asking that you would take a few moments and pray. Please pray and ask God how you may be a part of supporting me in this journey. I have financial needs of $750.00 a month. This amount includes room and board, health insurance, and phone, for the next 6 months. I know that this number is a bit intimidating, but I am not asking that you cover the whole thing. 10, 20, 50, 100, one time donation or even small monthly contributions will be such a blessing. For your convenience there is a donate button on the bottom left of my blog, (erincrain.blogspot.com) and it will walk you through the process of donating. Or you can make checks payable to Erin Crain and send to the address at the bottom of this letter.
Please consider partnering with me also through prayer. Prayer needs include: financial provision for these next 6 months and beyond; wisdom and discerning where God is calling me; my health; a greater revelation of God's love for me and others; and for many student's heart's to be open and hungry for God during this training season and beyond!! God is on the move and the time is now! Let us reach the lost together. Join me on this journey. May God bless you this Christmas season and New Year!
Much Love,
