QUICK UPDATE: AIRLINE TICKET PAID!
It is official. I am going to Germany. Or atleast I have my plane ticket. BUT (yes here comes the but), I still have to raise $1400 by the end of May to complete my trip cost. You have been giving so faithfully so far, that you helped me to reach the first part now please help me make it to the second deadline.
I was amazed that most of the people who gave, I didn't know. It really shows how you gave faithfully. thank you.
If you are one of those people who have already given I have 1 word for you: FORWARD!
Please please please forward my emails I send you to your friends. I don't know who is going to give but God does.
Thank you all SO much for going on this journey of trust with me :)

NEED TO MEET FIRST DEADLINE OF $1250 SUNDAY!!
Just wanted to send out a quick update on my trip to Berlin with my dance team. (If you haven't heard, feel free to click on my blog URL at the bottom of the site to read about the trip)
First of all THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TO THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE GIVEN ALREADY, your money is being used for the kingdom of God, and I know he will bless you for it.
Second of all, I NEED TO RAISE $1250 MORE DOLLARS BY SUNDAY (4/17/11) in order to secure my plane ticket for the trip. So its most definitely not to late to give because after that I still have the remainder portion to raise by the end of May.
Asking for money most definitely is not an easy thing to do, some of you I don't know that well, but then I realized this really isn't about me.
This gives YOU a chance to participate in a missions trip. there are so many parts of a missions trip, and funds is a very significant part of it. Its giving back to God what he has given you, just like tithing except you get to witness the fruit in a specific area, and in the case its evangelism.
I went to the Gateway Women's Conference this weekend with my mom and one of the speakers talked about how God loves to take believes the long way around. Where we have to continually trust in Him every single step of the way as we watch his miracles happen gradually, not all of a sudden. And by slowly walking with him, you get to see other people affected and changed by the same miracle. I believe God has me on this process right now, and He wants me to share this experience of faith with not just the people I know well, but the people who He knows well.
I don't know your situation, but I know God is in control of it.
So will you witness a miracle with me, and help make it happen?
"When Jesus got the message, he said, "This issue is not fatal. It will become an occasion to show God's glory by glorifying God's Son."
May this become an occasion to Glorify Christ!
In Christ,

email me at a.beautiful.mess.94@gmail.com to get the address to send the money.
P.S. The mission field has all sorts of needs, financial, prayer, support etc. I would love it if you would FORWARD this email to your friends who have a heart for the Nations and for God's people even if they don't know me, because this trip is not about me, its about seeing God's light penetrate the darkness in Europe.

Last Year's Letter Explaining the Trip
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I can not begin to express my deep gratitude for everyone’s prayers, support and donations. Going to Berlin was a huge eye opener. So many people there have never picked up a bible, or even heard the gospel. It’s like a dark cloud hovers over Europe and it was the most amazing thing seeing how wherever we made our mission field, the light began to penetrate through. Past trips have said that the hearts of Berliners are very closed and they don’t care to listen to what you have to say, but thanks to all the prayers sent before us, no one refused to hear what we had to say. The Berlin Trip of 08 – 1 person was saved. Trip of 09 – 2 people we were saved, this trip 23 people individually accepted Christ as their Lord and Savior. Many more have at least heard the gospel. Christophe Domes, a German evangelist, told us that our job was to share and God’s job to convince. So we continually pray for the seeds we have planted in Berlin that eventually they will choose the path of Christ.
While we were in Germany it was clear that we were in a spiritual war. You hear that phrase a lot but it never seemed more real. Again thanks to all the prayer that went up, we were sufficiently covered by the blood of Jesus to withstand any attack. I could literally feel his protection so mightily, that I was confident that I could walk anywhere, into the darkest part of Berlin, and I would be protected. It is the best feeling in the world to experience the presence of God and I was able to experience it daily. I find it so interesting that when we leave our homes it seems like we can experience God on a whole new level. I think that should give us an incentive to leave more often, because once we decide to live for Christ we have to leave our comfort zones and everyday surroundings so we can get a glance on a few of the MANY things he has and is doing for us. And that’s why we go on trips, so we can tell people the same thing. Spread the fire, spread the love.
Thank you for the opportunity to see some amazing things. I hope it encourages you to go out there and experience them as well. I couldn’t have gone on this trip without your help financially, and spiritually. Over this trip I have grown spiritually, and I thank God for the continual revelations and relationships he brought on this trip. Thank you all again!
In Christ,
Morgan Saulsberry
Back to Berlin
