Hello Everyone!!!!
Sorry I haven't written in a while. I have been working full time and have not had much free time.
So far I am up to $3500 in sponsorship funds. I really appreciate all that people have done for me, it really helps. I am still in need of $6500 more to pay for both schools and outreaches.
Please keep me in your prayers. I cannot do this without you!!!!! Pray about what God will to to and through me and what he will do to and through others around me. Pray for hearts to be opened and lives changed, both in the classroom and on the mission field.
God never ceases to amaze me. Two years ago When I was headed to Mexico I didn't think that I would be able to raise enough money for me to go ($1000), but he supplied enough for me to go and two other people I knew that weren't able to afford the trip. Last year when I was going to Chicago and he supplied me with the funds to take that trip. This year it looks like I will mostly be supported by those who believe in me and in what God is Going to do.
God Bless you all.
-Ben
P.S.
Please pray for my friends (whose names I can't mention). They are fostering a child who it seems may go back to its parents and a bad situation. Pray that God reveals all that is hidden and shows the situation for what it really is.

Actual Missions Letter
On a Mission
From J. Benjamin Collins
7697 Mayfield Road
Chesterland, OH 44026

Hello!
Ever since I went on a
summer mission team experience two years ago with 'Youth With A Mission' (YWAM) in Tyler Texas, I have felt that God has been calling me to return to Tyler to further my training and serve in leading mission outreaches.
I will be returning to YWAM Tyler, TX for Missions training and outreach from Sept 30, 2007 to Aug 19, 2008. I will be attending the Discipleship Training School (DTS) and the School of Evangelism (SOE). Each school has a 3 month classroom training period, followed by an eight week outreach. Each School costs $3345 for training and another $2000 for the outreach costs. This is a major step in my life and I would like to have you involved in what the Lord will do through me.
How to be involved / help
I can't do this alone! I need your help. I am hoping that you will be a part of this mission endeavor through your prayers and financial support. As the Bible says, “How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can they preach unless they are sent?” (Romans 10:14-15a NIV)
Every donation counts, and will be very much appreciated. If you or your church can help, you can make any checks payable to “Ben Collins” and note that it is for “YWAM missions”. Send them to my home address listed above.
Most importantly, I need people who will commit to pray for me and the mission work regularly from now through the time of my return.
Thank you in advance for being part of my support team!
Your brother in Christ
J. Benjamin Collins
