Near and dear to my heart today is Megan Czerwinski. I'll tell you why and why I want you to be praying for her as well!
One month ago, I was up late packing last boxes for our move to Clarion when I got a call from my sister. "Briana, You'll never believe who I just met!" "Who? Who?" -thinking it was a celebrity or something by the way she was excited and out of breath "Well, there's this girl..... " The story is that my sister and niece were at a concert in Burlington NC. They didn't meet anyone else at this concert, just ran into this girl selling bracelets. They stopped to find out what they were for and it turned out she was raising money for Threads of Hope and sharing information about her upcoming 11 month mission with The World Race. When my sister, Laura, heard she was going on a mission, she shared that we would be moving to PA in a couple days and what we would be doing as well. Megan wanted to know what campus in Pennsylvania because she had gone to college in PA. When Laura told her Clarion University, Megan shared that she is from Erie and Clarion was where she had graduated from less than two years prior and also the place where she severely fell away from the Lord. She told my sister that since coming back to the Lord, CU has been heavy on her heart and she has been praying for revival on that campus. She shared that the campus is such a lost and dying place, a huge party school. At that point, Laura called me and I had to opportunity to talk to Megan for a few minutes. God shared with me that day that EVERY TINY DETAIL is under His control. Really? Burlington NC, Megan Czerwinski ran into MY sister just two days before we were to move to the exact same school she has been praying for, 500 miles away? Well, Megan leaves on her mission to 11 countries over 11 months to be a Bold Disciple for Christ in less than two months... leaving behind everything she knows and holds dear on this Earth in pursuit of much more valuable and worthy treasures. Would you consider PRAYING with us? Her blog is a wonderful inspiration. http://meganczerwinski.theworldrace.org/Also, would you consider supporting her financially as well? She posted on Facebook yesterday that if If 670 people give $10, she will be fully funded to shine the light of Jesus to the Nations. Would you join us in that too?

Briana,I Love how the Lord used my broken past & new beginning to encourage your ministry in Clarion that night outside at the concert! It's funny how I had no idea why I felt this strong feeling to go out and sell bracelets before the concert let out in that parking lot. I couldn't shake it. That would be the work of the Holy Spirit Mam'! I am so excited for what God will do there @CU and you are on my heart daily. Sendings lots of prayers, love, and encouragement your way for the obedience you have shown God by serving there! Love, Megan : )
