Support Letter

 August 30, 2023


Dear Friends and Family, 


God has presented me with an amazing opportunity. This December, I have felt the pull in my heart to go on a mission trip to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil through Global Awakening. Following the will of God, I will be there from December 4th-12th, 2023. We will be going with a group from Floodgate Church and partnering with the churches in Rio to share the healing love of Jesus Christ.


During our stay, we will take on numerous tasks. Some of these include traveling to local churches to minister, connecting and praying with the local community, and supporting the Global Awakening Conference. I am seeking prayer partners for our group, the ministries, safety, the people of Brazil, and the trip as a whole each day. Please pray for my family! I have never been away from them and it will be difficult. And for myself, this is my first time out of the country for missions and well, I am a bit nervous! If it is on your heart to be a prayer partner, I would feel overwhelmingly blessed by your prayer support!


I am excited to bring Christ’s love to the people of Brazil. However, as I know God is calling me to serve, I am relying on Him for strength and wisdom as I plan, prepare, and raise financial support. I know all good things come from Him. As I have now expressed my heart to you and my desire to serve in Brazil this Fall, I know that I am not able to do it on my own. And as you feel called, I would be blessed if you would consider supporting me in prayer and/or financially. 


And if you feel God calling you to support financially, please know that your gifts will be received graciously and will be used solely for the cost of the trip. These are tax-deductible donations, and if you would like to donate there are specific instructions below. The total cost of the trip is $3,499, which needs to be raised by October 31, 2023. I trust that God will provide.

I am bursting with excitement and intent to carry out God's good intentions. I know that the experience will serve not only those in the community I am venturing into but myself as well. I hope to learn how to further the mission at home and bring back tales of how I have seen God work. To follow our adventures I will be writing a blog and posting frequently; here is the link https://ontheinspiredjourney.blogspot.com/.


In Christ, 

Angela Jenks

P.S.: Please also pray for Neil at home base with Aaron, Adelynn, and Anderson.  Allison will be joining me on this trip. It will be her Senior Missions Trip. I cannot wait to see how God uses her in the lives of the people in Brazil.

Less Sleep, More Jesus

Where to begin?  We started traveling at 7am Monday Detroit time and finally arrived at the hotel in Barra da Tijuca, Brazil about 2pm Rio time.  Rio time is 2 hours ahead of home.  So as I write this at 6:30am Rio time... it's only 4:30am back home.  We took planes,  cars,  escalators, elevators, and buses,  and walked miles to get here.  But... just from the first night 🌙  IT HAS BEEN WORTH IT ALL!  (From Chicago, we only had our backpacks, because there was no room for our carry-on. Nerves were high that our clothes would even make it after horror stories from others. ) Yesterday we ate lunch at the beach ⛱️  White, white sand and the water was so warm.  It jumped up and smacked us 🤣 There is a whole story there!  And just to note, the Brazilians can make a mean smash burger. (First day,  playing it safe with the food!) (All the bags made it to Brazil!) During lunch, we...

It has been days and actually more than a month since we have returned from Brazil. Daily I am met with thoughts and wonders about all that took place in Brazil. I have gone back to read what I wrote previously. I assure you, I am fluent in English (well, country school in the middle of Pennsylvania fluent) and typically am well-written, and even someday, I would be honored to add the accomplishment of an author to my list of credentials. However, those previous moments were pure, and although written in English they were Spirit-filled! So let's carry on... Day 1 - blasting of the crowd and healing of the children I gave a synopsis of the one child with the club feet...but I prayed for two other children before that specific one. Both had marked signs of improvement and were overcome with peace. One of the mothers mentioned that she had never seen her son so calm with a stranger touching him (I asked for permission.) The peace of the Lord filled that building.  I don't want to ...

Y'all... If you know me and I am starting any story with "y'all" you know that Jesus showed up BIG! For some of this...I don't even have appropriate words,  however I will try!  We started with a morning of rest,  but the sunrises 🌅 before 5am (3am Detroit time.) I was up before 6am! Breakfast is a beautiful buffet 😋 Eggs, fruit, meats, and breads (sweet and not.) And every meal has rice and beans.  We had some down time before heading to the Brazilian steak house for lunch...more rice and beans 🫘 and all the meat 🍖 you could dream of! 😋  Then we took a long bus ride in traffic to the convention center. Every day is an adventure and yesterday the bus took down some phone or power lines. These bus drivers are amazing! Literally, taking large tour busses onto single lane roads or through traffic where we could touch the car next to us and there are motorcycles 🏍 zooming in between!  We arrived at the conve...
