Shine your Light and Love people

"OUR DEEPEST IS NOT THAT WE ARE INADEQUATE.OUR DEEPEST FEAR IS THAT WE ARE POWERFUL BEYOND MEASURE. IT IS OUR LIGHT, NOT OUR DARKNESS, THAT MOST FRIGHTENS US.

WE ASK OURSELVES: WHO AM I TO BE BRILLIANT, GORGEOUS, TALENTED, FABULOUS? ACTUALLY, WHO ARE YOU NOT TO BE?
YOU ARE A CHILD OF GOD. YOUR PLAYING SMALL DOES NOT SERVE THE WORLD.THERE IS NOTHING ENLIGHTENED ABOUT SHRINKING SO THAT OTHER PEOPLE WON'T FEEL INSECURE AROUND YOU. WE ARE ALL MEANT TO SHINE, AS CHILDREN DO.WE WERE BORN TO MAKE MANIFEST THE GLORY OF GOD IN US. IT'S NOT JUST SOME OF US. IT'S IN EVERYONE.
AND AS WE LET OUR LIGHT SHINE, WE UNCONSCIOUSLY GIVE OTHER PEOPLE PERMISSION TO DO THE SAME. AS WE ARE LIBERATED FROM OUR OWN FEAR, OUR PRESENCE AUTOMATICALLY LIBERATES OTHERS"


(Marianne Williamson - and quoted by Nelson Mandela 1994 at his inauguration)

My updated support letter



July 12th, less than 3 weeks to go
I blog regularly on: http:/freiheitwelcometomyworld.blogspot.com/

SOUTH AFRICA-CAPE TOWN

Dear family and friends,
Here I am, less than 3 weeks before the big move. I will go home to Germany, get my visa and
then go to Cape Town as soon as I have enough funds.
I am doing ok in all this, am so glad that God provides me with peace and trust and all that. I
know that He is here and He is working in all this. Thank you so much for your prayers!!!!!!!
Trust is what my theme is these days…a trust that is weak and raw and vulnerable, a trust
that can only come from my God
July 12th, less than 3 weeks to go

On the weekend of the 21st/22nd of July I will be up on stage at all the East Hill services to
be interviewed by Ted Roberts on my upcoming mission. I will also have a table in the
foyer and will be there to talk to people.

When will I leave the U.S. for South Africa?

My last day of work at East Hill Church will be Friday, July 20th, 2007 and I will fly home
to Frankfurt, Germany exactly one week later on the 27th of July. I am returning to Germany to
apply for my visa which must be done from my home country. Then I will have approximately
three months in Germany to work and be with friends and family before I embark on my new
adventure to Capetown, South Africa.

How is my support going?
I have a lot of people praying for me and to be honest that is the most important thing right
now. It helps not to stand alone 
The finances are slowly coming in. I should have about 1700 $ by now, but need at least
3,200$ to be able to have a “reserve” here at East Hill at all times in case of emergency PLUS
the money for the first 2 months there that I can spend: in all 6,400 $. I believe that God will
provide and bring it in. If I cannot cover the first months in Cape Town, I cannot be sent out
yet. Also, I need to have the “reserve” money in at all times. If I fall under the
3,200 $, I
have 60 days in financial emergency state before I would need to leave the field to go
home and build up my support again. Certainly, I would not want to go there.

How can you support me in this?

- with your prayers. During this season of transition I am need of spiritual protection
over my emotions, decisions, thoughts and actions. I need discernment and God’s
wisdom for balance. Likewise, you can pray for a good and stable family that will open
their home to me in Capetown. My e-mail address is newborntigger@yahoo.com and I
would love to hear from you at any time.

Financially, I am going to need approximately $1,650.00 a month in support. While East

Hill will be giving me some financial support, it will not cover the full support amount that I
need.
My IMMEDIATE needs are 2 months worth of my budget as
reserve PLUS 2 months of my budget to actually spend on
housing and food to be able to go: 6,400$
If you need a tax receipt, you can send payments to East Hill
Church. Please make sure to note "South Africa Long Term
Missions” on the memo line of each check.
The address of The East Hill Church is:
East Hill Church, PO Box 650, Gresham OR 97030
All my support and funding goes through East Hill, so please make the check out
to East Hill and send it to the address mentioned above. Thank you!

Finally, If you have any questions about my plans or want further information, please do
not hesitate to contact me. I’d love to hear from you as well 
May God bless you!
Sincerely, Kerstin
