OCBP Support Letter

Hello Family, Friends, and Loved Ones!

Well, I have almost made it through my third year in college. After a semester abroad in the Middle East, I slowly reacclimated back to the daily norms of college life, keeping my head in the books and making sure the freshmen girls on my hall behaved themselves. During this “retransition”, I have also spent much time reflecting on myself, my personality, my likes and dislikes, and my passions, and my potential career after college. Choosing a career as an International Studies major means that I can pretty much enter any career field with a particular focus on bettering the world around me.   As I work full time as a student and a Resident Assistant, seeking my goal to better this world, I am also  heavily involved in Arcadia Christian Fellowship, an interdenominational gathering students seeking to learn about Christ and grow in their faith. I co-lead a small group and help lead worship.

The fellowship is served by a partnership of InterVarsity and Coalition for Christian Outreach staff workers. The CCO staff worker, Greg Sovereign, recommended to me a summer ministry opportunity called Ocean City Beach Project. OCBP is an eight-week ministry in which 30-40 Christian college students live, learn, play, and worship in community. The Project provides the opportunity for me to grow personally in my faith and develop my leadership skills. At OCBP, I will work on the Ocean City boardwalk during the daytime and be challenged to become a kingdom leader through speakers in the evenings. 

So now that you’ve read a short synopsis about what I’m excited about doing this summer,  what can you do?  Well, first and foremost, you can help me get suited up to go by much prayer.  I know that many of you were praying for me when I went to Jordan and I truly appreciated your intercession. John 14:14 says, “Yes, ask anything in my name and I will do it!” So I am living proof to say that what you asked for, Jesus did! On top of prayer, I will also need to raise $2,000 to cover all my housing and food costs for the summer. I hope to frequently post on my blog  http://stardustontheroad.blogspot.com/throughout the summer so you can stay updated with what I’m learning and how I’m growing.

If you’d like to financially support me, here’s how to do so. You can mail a check payable to CCO (write “Brittany Witcher: OCBP in the memo line) and send it to CCO, 5912 Penn Ave., Pittsburgh, PA 15206. You can also send a gift online at ccojubilee.org/donate. (Just click on the title above and you'll get straight to the page.  Click on "Give Online Today from there") When you get to the credit card screen, write my name in the “Comments” section so they know where to allot the support.

            I want to thank you all for all of your continued love and support.  I really can’t wait to see what God has in store for me down the road.  I do have to say, though, that much of what has happened thus far could not have happened without your support.  I am appreciative beyond words! Can’t wait to hear back from you! Feel free to call or email me with any questions.

Ever so sincerely,

Brittany
