Let's Help Latonya!
Latonya, one of the precious sisters in our online class is in need of our prayers and financial help. Here's what's up...
Latonya lives in Ghana, Africa. She regularly joins classes live, so if you are part of Shauna Manfredine's online classes, you will know who she is. As you can probably imagine, the ability to make a living in Ghana is challenging. Latonya had been blessed with an apartment and a job, which are both hard to come by in Ghana. But although she is dedicated and a hard worker, her work has fallen through. But of course, bills remain...
This naturally puts her in a bind. Without income, she could lose her housing and her ability to participate in classes, and more... And the local economy in Ghana is poor, so that it looks like it will be necessary for her to re-locate, in order to
cover her necessities of life. There are no available jobs at this time in her area.
Of course, prayers are needed for Latonya in this situation. Thank you, in advance, for your prayers. Scripture tells us that if a brother or sister is in need, we should do what we can through prayer and through addressing the physical need, insomuch as we are able. And this is our goal for Latonya.
James 2:15-16 "If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?"
While there are no jobs or options where she is, it seems the Father has opened the doors for Latonya in a place just over 4000 miles away...
Latonya has an elderly uncle in the Virgin Islands. He has offered her a place to live, on his property. And she has a job available near her uncle's place. But, having not had steady work for far too long, Latonya is unable to buy her plane ticket from Ghana to the Virgin Islands. She also needs to update her Visa in order to make this trip.
The good news is that a home and work are waiting for Latonya in the Virgin Islands! But, having been without work so long, she needs the prayers and support of her brothers and sisters in Messiah for the finances to get there.
Please join us in praying for Latonya's needs. And if you are able to send some finances to help her, wonderful! Please do the following:
Send funds to Latonya (every bit helps) by sending the money to us at Lighted Way Ministries, on her behalf. You may send funds in one of two ways:
1) SEND A CHECK TO LIGHTED WAY MINISTRIES:
If you send in a check to help Latonya, please make it out to Lighted Way Ministries (as we cannot cash it otherwise), but earmark the check for Latonya Standifer. Please be sure to write Latonya's name on the memo portion of the check (otherwise we'll have no way of knowing it's meant for her, since Lighted Way also operates on donations).
2) SEND AN ONLINE DONATION TO LIGHTED WAY MINISTRIES:
If you wish to send an online donation to help Latonya, please use the following link: https://www.lightedwayministries.com/store/p102/Donation_to_Help_Latonya.html
As you can imagine, this need is time sensitive. Without work, Latonya's rent and other needs are looming large. We are prayerfully hoping to be able to have enough donations to buy her plane ticket by mid-March (at the latest)
