Erin.

My friend Erin is a university student and a new Christian.  She was baptized three years ago, and since then has dealt with a lot of strife in her family because of it.

She's going to school full time and working three jobs.  On top of paying for her apartment every month, she's trying to save up money to go to the National Youth Gathering in Texas this summer.  I asked her why she wanted to go so much.  She had been there once before, and she said that it helped increase her faith to see so many Christians gathered from all over the world.  For so many Taiwanese Christians, they don't have the support of family or many friends.  They have small churches and Christian friends here or there.  They want so desperately to know they're not alone in their faith.  There is no big worship meeting like the National Youth Gathering in Taiwan.

My request:  please pray for Erin, as she fights the battle that comes with becoming a new Christian in Taiwan.  Pray that God gives her wisdom to know when to work and when to rest.  Please pray that God would provide her with $1,000 to go to the Youth Gathering, to encourage her in her faith and make Christian friends and connections.

In Christ,

Anna
