Here's a message from the fabulous Gwen:
As you may know, our very own missionary Katherine Rowe is back in the states for a much-needed visit and time of renewal before she returns to Uganda in April. She has been working with Africa Inland Missions (AIM) for the past 2 years, helping to bring the gospel of Jesus to unreached people groups in several African countries. Along with visiting with her family and friends during this short time, she is also preparing (physically, mentally, spiritually, and monetarily) to return. How hard it must be to be so far from loved ones!!
You may remember the first "Operation Bless Katherine" that was launched prior to her departure 2 years ago. We collected letters, cards, notes, pictures, etc. from friends and family all over the country and gave a bag FULL to take with her and open as she saw need. Some were for special occasions (birthdays, holidays, etc) and some for no reason at all other than to show our love and encouragement when she felt she needed it.
The collection of love that she took with her was such a source of encouragement for her that she has requested we do it again!!
Please consider sending a letter, short note of encouragement, card, picture, portrait, or anything else you think may bring a smile to her face when she faces a hard day away from her friends and family in America. Please keep in mind she will be packing them in her luggage, so unfortunately we must ask that you stick to notes etc and not actual gifts.
Please plan to have everything here by April 1 (Anything arriving in March could easily be hidden from her til closer to her packing date(s) as an added surprise!)
Send all correspondence to:
Gwen Goddard
1515 Robertson Ct
Clarksville, TN 37042
ATTN: Katherine Rowe (or OBK2)
I will NOT open anything with her ATTN on it, unless it's clear I'm supposed to. ;)
Thanks everyone for supporting Katherine and continuing to "hold the rope" for her as she goes out where God has called her!
Gwen
