My Support Letter

Hi! My name is Katherine Weikle. I was born and raised in North Augusta, SC. I am currently a senior Elementary Education major at Winthrop University. When I am not in class, I am student-teaching at India Hook Elementary School, attending BCM, tutoring in local schools as a Teaching Fellow, working at Chick-fil-A, and spending time with friends.

Since graduating from high school, God has really been pushing me to break out of my comfort zone to reach souls for Him. It all started with going off to college. After only a few days I knew I was where I was meant to be. I quickly got involved with the local Baptist Collegiate Ministry (BCM) on campus. During my sophomore year I applied and was accepted to be a South Carolina BCM Summer Missionary. I spent ten weeks that summer working with children from all parts of the LowCountry of South Carolina. Also during my sophomore year, I traveled to the Dominican Republic for a week with Teaching Fellows. It was on that trip that God taught me that I could and would be traveling out of this country’s borders for Him.

In January of my junior year I attended the Passion 2010 Conference and received a call from God to go to India on a short term mission trip. I immediately began praying and searching for the perfect opportunity. God closed many, many doors along the way but ultimately led me to apply for one particular trip. Crossroads Worldwide & Clayton King Ministries travel to Central India every Christmas to give out presents to orphans. I will be able to share about Christ with these orphans and students from a local Bible College, as well as work on facilities, and of course encourage believers living and/or serving in India. The trip lasts for two weeks, December 16- 30, and costs $3,200. The deposit ($1,500) is due September 15th, with the balance ($1,700) due November 15th.

There are several ways that you can help me to answer God’s call. (1) Please pray. Prayer has the power to make the impossible possible. Pray for the team members to be able to raise the money necessary to fund the trip. Pray for the hearts of the missionaries, and the people we will meet there. (2)Respond to this letter by sending a check of ANY amount that will go towards the $3,200 cost of the trip. (3) Send me an encouraging letter that I can take with me to India to share with my entire team. (4) Save your spare change and put it in my Elephant (piggy) bank. (5) Buy a Feed India : John 6:35 silicone bracelet for $1.50. Over $1 from each bracelet goes towards the cost of the trip.
