IGNITE Class 16 interns had the opportunity to share their gratitude as well as some encouraging testimonies of the work God is doing in their lives by writing a letter to PFM sponsors! We wanted to share a few short excerpts with you, and thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being a part of impacting the next generation for Christ!
Dear Sponsors…
“I want to thank you so much for being devoted to loving Jesus. Your love has helped me in ways you don’t even realize. Without your faithfulness, I most likely would have never heard about IGNITE! Your prayers and financial support not only help children, but you quite literally help me see the depths of God’s grace and provision. You are the ones holding up my hands and encouraging me to run full force for the Kingdom.”

“The Lord gave me Psalm 23 coming into IGNITE as a picture of what He would do in my life in this season. He showed me that He would lead me beside still waters, that I would lay down in green pastures and, most of all, that He would restore my soul. IGNITE has been my green pasture, it has been my still waters, and it has restored my soul. It has been the most grounding, healing, restorative, redemptive, and beautiful experience of my life. And that’s because the Lord’s presence is so powerfully tangible here.”
-Christina, Selah Fellowship

“Over the past three months, God has shown me how much He loves me, how much He cares about me, and how blessed I am. Before coming, I had no idea of what true love really meant, and God has been showing me how much He does love me, and how much I needed this year away from everything.”
-Alejandra, Rios de Fe

“I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for allowing God to use you as a vessel that has helped change my life forever. It took an army of God’s people to get me here, and it takes an army of God’s people to continue to push me through. This has been an opportunity of a lifetime, and my world has flipped upside down as I strive to be more and more like Jesus every day. Please keep me in your prayers as I embark on my journey to Southeast Asia to be a light in the darkest corners of Cambodia. God bless you and thank you again!”

“He’s given me time to experience that He is my true Father entirely. I’ve seen Him move in ways in my heart that I’ve never experienced before since walking with Him. I’m excited to be able to love on the children, young adults, and families in Uganda for six months, but more importantly, to give them Jesus through the trials they are going through. I’m expecting the next six months on the field to change my life and my walk with the Lord forever. I’m expecting the Lord to show Himself so clearly in my life, and my teammates’ lives. He’s always been faithful, and I can’t wait to be able to share testimonies of His faithfulness through the nationals that already believe in Jesus and those that will come to Christ. Thank you, sponsors, for all that you’re doing for us. May God bless you in all that you do.”

“In supporting Potter’s Field Ministries, you are helping send me out to Uganda with five other interns so that we can serve for six months. So, I am here to say, thank you! Thank you for supporting us here, thank you for helping our leaders, and thank you for giving to Potter’s Field Ministries.
At the time of this writing, I am approaching the end of my first three months of training in St. Petersburg, Florida, preparing for my time in Uganda. From our daily ‘Inductive Bible Studies’ to outreaches in downtown St. Petersburg, you have helped us grow closer to God each day. So, again, thank you. I know, for myself, I have grown in wisdom, knowing when to speak and when to stay silent, as well as learning how to worship God with my whole being.”
-Abram, Calvary Chapel Plano

“These months of training have shown me anew the joy of my salvation (Ps. 51:12), and I know they will be essential not only for the next six months on the field, but also for the rest of my life. The Lord has used this time to show Himself alive and active on my behalf as I’ve never seen Him before, and because of it, my faith has grown deeper than I ever thought it needed to or could.”
