Lay Mission Helpers
Dear Family and Friends,
I hope this letter finds you and your family doing well. I am writing to share some exciting news with you and ask for your assistance. Many of you may not be aware, but for some time I have been considering living abroad and working directly with the poor in a developing country. After a long discernment and application process I have been accepted into a wonderful program called the Lay Mission-Helpers Association.
Lay Mission-Helpers (LMH) is a Catholic organization that provides training and support for lay people who serve 3 years in mission dioceses around the world. They support the lay people of the Catholic Church in sharing their gifts and living a simple life amongst the poor. LMH is in their 51st year of service and lay people from this organization have served in 36 countries around the world.
I will be moving to Los Angeles in August 2006 to begin a 4 month formation program. After the formation/training period I plan to go abroad in January 2007 for three years. My specific placement has not been determined but they are currently in need of people in Cameroon, Uganda, Kenya, Sierra Leone, the Marshall Islands, Taiwan, and Thailand. I will know my placement and specific job in the Fall.
I am writing to both share my good news and to ask for your support spiritually and materially. I ask that you please remember me, all missionaries, and those that I will serve in your prayers. If possible, I also ask that you support my work financially. I encourage you to visit the LMH website (www.laymissionhelpers.org) and see first hand the work they are doing. Your contribution is tax deductible and will go directly to help support me and the work I will be doing.
It costs upward of $10,000 to cover the expenses of a candidate like me during the formation period and I am trying to raise $2,000 toward these costs. Please know that I understand that everyone’s financial situation is different and personal. Any financial contribution you can make will be greatly appreciated. It goes without saying that your spiritual support and prayers are invaluable to me.
Thank you so much for your support, love and prayers. I wish you and yours many blessings – you are in my prayers.
With gratitude,
Marie McGee
