Thank You
Dear Colonial Family,
What a huge blessing! I feel so humbled. The offering you gave last Sunday toward my missionary support will actually put me over 100%. Please know how thankful I am. I am excited to see how God will use it for His glory! My flight leaves for Bangladesh on August 29. I will be praying for you. I will certainly miss Colonial!
