Request for Prayer and Finances for Israel Mission.
My Friends
I humbly come before you in earnest request for your prayers and or
support.
After many years of loving lost even though knowing the truth of
Jesus, I found I was only wearing the t-shirt and not living for Him.
2 yrs ago after my divorce I had all but given up on life.
After calling out to God many times He revealed my purpose. I've
always known deep down but ran from it.
Now I accept it gratefully and with great joy. The Lord has called me
to ministry. As many of you know I have fully given my life back to
Christ, have been writing and most importantly am attending Christ for
the Nations Bible College. (CFNI). I'm finishing my 3rd week now.
I'm called to Pastoral and to be a Communicator. I've also felt a
strong call to missions. My gift is in communication through showing
own scars and wounds to help others with theirs.
My ministry is Relative Transparency in Christ which is also the name
of my book and blog.
Theunknownauthor.net will lead you to it under
the ebook link should you want to inquire.
Many of you have had significant roles in my life, have ministered to
me, discipled me and have spoken great words over me that have never
left me and led me to the point I am now.
In preparation for ministry and missions I'm serving one day a week at
Mission Arlington and work two jobs. With school I can only work so
many hours. I attend school 8 to 12 Monday- Friday and Tuesday nights.
So work is limited. I'm doing automotive electrical 4 days a week and
delivering pizzas a few nights a week for gas to get to and from school.
I cannot get financial aid because CFNI does not allow it. They don't
want us in debt when we graduate and I'm ok with that but it is
stretching my faith greatly.
I do not make enough to cover my bills nor tuition. By the grace of
God My Pastor is supporting to go to CFNI. My church helps with half
my monthly installments because they believe in me and support
missions. They are commited to help as much as they can and were they
not I would not be attending.
My Pastor is also mentoring me and is becoming my spiritual Father
more every day. Through our prayers and the Lords leading he is the
one who helped lead me to CFNI.
I've got a required summer course to take and it is a missions trip.
It can be taken any summer semester but I have a sense of urgency to
go this summer.
The Lord has put a deep love in my heart for the Jewish people and
their culture and I have fallen in love with the land though I have
never seen it.
The missions trip I have signed up for this summer is for Israel. I
have tried to go many times but the timing was not right. I am
believing in faith that it has been saved for such a time as this.
With all that is transpiring In the world there may not be many more
chances to see this land or reach these people for Christ before the
Millennial Kingdom so I feel now is the time.
I have wasted many years of my life due to bad decisions, drugs,
marriage to the wrong person for me, you name it. But I know God is
the redeemer of time. I love Jesus with all my heart and just want to
take Him to the Nations. I fully lay down my life for Him now and that
my testimony should be told to help others.
The cost of this trip plus summer tuition are around the ballpark of
$5,500 to $6,000 dollars. That doesn't cover my time off of work or
Any bills. I have already sold almost all I have to just be able to
attend school.
There is no way on my own income I can make this by the end of April.
We leave in May.
The Bible says we have not because we ask not. And that we are of
little faith.
I believe in the same faith it took to see the lame walk, the blind
see and the dead raised. I want my own ministry to be marked with
these things. If we can believe for that from the creator of all
things then surely financial provision to reach the ends of the earth
with His message is nothing.
What I am asking of you in faith is to please prayerfully seek the
Lord and ask Him if this is something you would consider supporting.
Either in prayer or financially, however possible if you are led.
I will have a formal letter sent out from the school asap regarding this
fund raiser and prayer support.
The dates of the trip would be May 9-23rd 2010.

To those who know me and have spoken into my life I thank you from the
bottom of my heart for not giving up on me and continuously lifting me
up in prayer. For your guidance and help financially before. And for
loving and not judging me I sincerely thank you.
Any prayer requests you may have please send them to me and I will
return the favor.
I thank you in advance for your prayers and support. I just ask that
you please pray on this. I desperately need your help. Please also
forward this email to anyone you know or feel led to that wants to
support missions and a pastor to be.
In the love and thankfulness of Jesus.
Matthew Scott.
