To all of our family and friends: In just 3 days we will be making a huge change in our lives. We will be moving to Redding as most of you already know. God has directed us to attend the School of Ministry at Bethel Church in Redding, CA. This is a huge change for our family. We are very excited and yet nervous at the same time. We will be starting school on September 15, 2009.

This is a wonderful opportunity for our whole family! The children will be able to attend Bethel’s Christian School as well. We are very humbled and honored by this opportunity that God has provided us. Our ultimate goal and purpose for attending this school is to eventually open a program for the at-risk and troubled youth. It is our hearts to build up and encourage the youth to help them become productive, successful Christian Leaders.

Our purpose in writing this letter to you, our family and friends is to request your support. We will be living on a limited income for the next 2 years and will also need to pay our tuition. Our tuition is $3600 per year for each of us and we are confident that God will make the provisions.

The support we are requesting is financial as well as with your prayers as we venture out. All financial contribution is tax deductible. There are 2 ways that you can do this.

1. Mail a check to:
Bethel Church ATTN: Stephanie Larson 933 College View Drive Redding, CA 96003 *Include a note with the check with our full name on it and what it's for. Please DO NOT write our name anywhere on the check. Bethel will send you a tax donation receipt at the end of the year.

2. You can also call in to Bethel Church and pay by credit card. Ask for Stephanie Larson at 530-246-6000 ext 1251. If you are able to make a financial donation, you can make it in either of our names.

Please use only one of our names as we have separate accounts for our tuition. If you are unable to contribute financially at this time, please cover us with your prayers. They are both needed. We appreciate and love all of you dearly! You all have been very loving, encouraging and supportive.

With all of our love and gratitude, Shawn and Susanne
