a trip to Mexico

I have a friend who is not a member of any sort of ministry, and I was aware of the fact that she wanted to go to Reynosa, Mexico, on the mission trip.  I thought it would be a really good experience, however I know that money is always tight for her.  So I took the 20 dollars and sent an email out to about 10 people (mostly professors) asking them to match it so that she could have at least half of her trip funded.  Along with paying the twenty dollars, I asked them to pray for her until we get back from Mexico.

I heard back in less than two hours from most of them, and last Monday I took everything I had gotten so far and paid for her whole trip (she had already paid the deposit).  There was money still left over!  I asked that it be used to help someone else. 

This person has never really had anything like this done for her before, so she is really excited and thankful, and I have a friend who is a bit closer to her, and they have almost started talking about Jesus.  And she has acknowledged that she thinks the trip will be life-changing for her.  I can't wait to see what God is going to do through this!
