AIMer
Greetings in the precious name of Jesus! My name is Liana O’Neal and I attend Calvary Gospel Church in Madison, WI. Reverend John Grant is my pastor. I hope this letter finds you well and in good health. I am doing great! I look forward to each new day with excitement about what God has planned for my life. I am writing because, in April 2010, my dad (George O’Neal) and I had the wonderful opportunity to travel to Poland and visit Bro. and Sis. Nicholls, who are missionaries in Warsaw. It was a great experience! I immediately felt at home in Poland. The people were friendly, the city was beautiful, and I felt an overwhelming burden for Poland. I am pleased to say that I have been accepted as an Associate in Missions volunteer. After speaking with Bro. and Sis. Nicholls, it was decided that in January, I will be joining them for twelve months in Warsaw, Poland, assisting them with prayer, evangelism, Bible studies, music ministry and anything else that needs to be done. It was my desire to go to Poland earlier, but I do know that God’s timing is perfect! I will be living there and learning about Polish culture, and building relationships with those around me. I

to Poland
“Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, ‘Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?’ Then said I, ‘Here am I; send me.’” Isaiah 6:8 am so thrilled to have this opportunity to minister to those in need in Poland, and I cannot wait to begin this new chapter in my life. I am writing to solicit your prayer and financial support in this endeavor. First, I ask that you pray for God’s continued guidance in my life and that I will be prepared spiritually for this trip. I also ask that you pray that God will provide financially for this trip. I need to raise around $5,000 before December, in order to pay for airline tickets and other expenses. Thanks to family, friends, my home church, and other churches in Wisconsin, it is my pleasure to say that I have already raised about $17,000 dollars out of the $22,000 budget, and I am so appreciative of those who have already given towards this trip. Please pray for safe travel for me and that God will continue to bless the work in Poland. Could you possibly be involved by seeking God’s guidance in aiding me financially for
this trip? Anything you can give would be a huge help and greatly appreciated. Remember, a little goes a long way, especially when God is involved! An account has been established in my name at the church. If you feel so led by God, you can make checks payable to Calvary Gospel Church and designate on the memo line “Poland Aimer.” The address is 5301 Commercial Ave., Madison, WI 53704. I am in the process of developing a website, where you will be able to keep track of how the fundraising is going and how/what I am doing once I arrive in Poland. The web address is www.polandexpress.yolasite.com Thank you for your consideration in being part of this awesome opportunity. I know that God will richly bless you in return. God Bless, Liana O’Neal “How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard?” Romans 10:14
