Campus Harvest Support Letter: Xavier

Hello my name is Xavier. My journey to God has not yet began but on
its way to start. I was raised to believe in god and always will. I
see God as a mentor in a way to lead you to good things and
prospertity. He is the truth and my way to freedom spirituality. He is
also my communicator to my mom who has recently passed. I know that he
is taking care of her and she is looking over me everyday. I hope to
attend campus harvest to understand more about God and how he can help
me better myself and continually stay in contact with my mother.


Kind Regards,

Xavier

Campus Harvest Support Letter: Parish

Hello, my name is Parish, I'm a 16 year old high school students that lives in the Bronx. On December 3rd, 2011, I've recently decided to turn my life around, and give my self to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. It was definitive moment in my life, ever since then I've had a joyous experience just hearing his word from the bible and getting to know him and I would love to know more about him.

To know more about him I've been invited on this trip to Campus Harvest in North Carolina. Campus Harvest is this two-day concert/encounter, where we just celebrate and we get to know more about God, in-depth. With this trip, there is a lengthy price for going, and with that, I would deeply appreciate if you would help fundraise for the trip. Campus Harvest is a once in a lifetime opportunity to really have that encounter and I believe this is the trip that will help me get to know about him more.

I Thank you for prayerfully considering to fund raise my trip to Campus Harvest and I hope you take it into consideration.

Warm Regards,
Parish

Campus Harvest Support Letter: Kevin

To whom it may concern,

For the past few months, my relationship with Jesus has greatly improved. After going to Young Life camp and now attending Young Life meetings every Friday i have been learning more and more about the bible and god. Young Life is a program where the New York youth get together to learn about the bible, god and Jesus. I feel that god has put me through all the seemingly hard times in my life so ultimately they can be for my benefit. God to me is a father like no other. He loves unconditionally and forgives me for all my sins. I can always pray to him and ask for advice when I'm in situations i cant handle alone. I know i can always rely on him and he always helps me one way or another. I thrive to learn more about the bible and god so i hope you can consider funding us for an event that can possibly change our lives.

Prayerfully Yours,

Kevin

Campus Harvest Support Letter: Ivan

To whom it may concern, Hello my name is Ivan and i am in the 10th grade at Morris Academy, on December 3rd I attended a trip to a young life camp in which i was informed about God, before i went to this camp I believed that once one sinned that God was no longer with them, but this camp thought me that everyone sins and that God will always forgive you. Attending this camp changed my life because before this God was never on my mind because what i believed was that God had abandoned me because of any sin that i may have done in the pass no matter how small it was. After going to this camp i left there with more knowledge of God, I also Started going to church more often than before and my life has changed in a positive way since then. The reason why I am writing this letter is because i want to go to Campus Harvest and i cant afford to raise the money by myself and i need help raising it and with anything that you can help with will be really really really appreciated because learn more about God even if this place doesn't teach me a lot about God anything will be worth it. Thank you for prayerfully considering Me.

Campus Harvest Support Letter: Ashley

To whom it may concern:

Over the months, I have been exposed to Jesus more than ever in my life.
It all started when one of my teachers proposed that I attend a
winter camp that lasted one weekend. It was like a dream come true
because I've always wanted to stay at a weekend camp. I had no idea
what I was really getting myself into until I got there. After a fun
little singing moment, this man began to preach and I just stared at
him wonderously as he spoke about Jesus. He gave us real life
situations to think about how our relationship with Jesus works. I was
fascinated. After that, I could not stop thinking about where my
relationship with Jesus stands. A couple of weeks after the camp, I
attended an encouter for one of my friends church. Although it was 12
hours long and I didn't really enjoy it, it opened my eyes even more
to the life that Jesus lived. Although at the moment, I have decided
that I do not want to devote my life to Jesus right now, I still want
to learn more about Jesus so when I am ready, I can have no doubts.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read my letter and for even
considering to support us financially in our journey for Jesus.

Sincerely, Ashley

No Man's Land

Entering another teacher's classroom to do an observation with an administrator is a bit like farting at a dinner party and then pointing to your spouse with a disgusted look. Teachers don't buy it though and still give me the I-can't-believe-you-would-do-this-to-me glare as they mutter between clenched teeth, "Please come in, we are just..."

It's mid November and I'm still learning to settle into my new role as lead instructional teacher at my school. I'm finding out very quickly that people see me very differently since just 2 months ago. I am not an administrator but I'm in meetings with them behind closed, but windowed, doors and I implement instructional and logistical changes that were birthed during them. Telling our history department teachers that we need to design formal data tracking assessments doesn't win me any popular votes, unfortunately. Maybe I shouldn't care, but I do, which is why I think it's taking me longer to feel comfortable in my new leadership role. The new leather chair isn't broken in yet because I'm not allowing myself to completely sink into it.

I'm slowly learning that others will adjust and appreciate me for who I am and for what I have to offer as soon as I recognize my role and do it without shame or guilt. Besides, I believe in what I am doing so there's no reason for me to shrink back and be defeated even before the first period bell. Can I get an Amen? If not, don't mind me. I'm fine preaching to myself.
