The Parks’ First Newsletter

Dear family, friends and partners,

The day we head to Thailand is quickly approaching! In just three days (on July 26th) we will be boarding our plane from Los Angeles to Bangkok and we are brimming with a host of emotions - there have been difficult goodbyes but we are filled with joy and excitement as we ponder all that lies ahead.

The last few weeks have been filled with preparations for our move, seeing family, and getting married!! We had a beautiful wedding ceremony in North Carolina on July 8th. And yes, we then had a second wedding on July 17th in California!!! It was so important to us that we make a public declaration of our commitment to one another and to God in the presence of ALL those who played a part in shaping our lives - both for our east and west coast family and friends. We want to thank everyone, especially our family members who contributed to these incredible days honoring God and our marriage. The love and support we have received has been overwhelming, so from the bottom of our hearts, thank you!!

With the weddings now over, our gaze is set on Thailand. We are so excited for all that God has in store as we seek to know Him more and to make His name known to those who have never heard. Currently, we are spending this last week in California with family and finalizing everything before the big travel days. With that, we are seeking to solidify our financial support team before we take-off from America. If you have been or are seeking to become a financial partner, please read the announcement below!

Special Request for Our Financial Partners

Our goal is to have all of our financial partners registered through our new giving portal within the next week so that we can fully put our attention to the ministry as soon as we touch down in Thailand. With that goal in mind, if you have not yet set up your monthly giving through our new donation account with YWAM Montana, we are kindly asking that you please do that at your earliest convenience. Also, we are still seeking to reach our monthly goal of $1,800 so we would greatly appreciate your prayer for this! Currently we still need to raise $500 to reach this goal - we would so appreciate yours prayers to see this provision come through in the next month!

For our PREVIOUS SUPPORTERS, our finances are no longer being processed through YWAM North Idaho, so those recurring withdrawals have been canceled. Any donations now must be set up through our missionary member account with YWAM Montana and those instructions are listed below.

If you are a NEW SUPPORTER seeking to give either one time or monthly, firstly thank you! You can find those instructions listed below. We’d love to personally thank you and ensure you are receiving our newsletters, so please contact us and let us know of your interest in partnering in this way.

GIVING PORTAL INSTRUCTIONS:

visit: https://giving.ywam montana.org and create an account. Please do not click new/one time donations as this is a more complicated process!

Once you have made an account, change the url at the top of the page to: https://giving.ywammontana.org/support/mariefreemyers

This is where you should see a picture of us. You’ll be able to then select the amount, monthly or one-time donation option and then securely give your payment method.

Thank You

As we said before, the love and support we have received in the last few months has been above and beyond what we could have imagined. Through cash donations and the Go Fund Me, we have reached our goal of raising $5,000 for initial set-up costs in Thailand. Please join us in praising God for this HUGE answered prayer. As we continue to set up our monthly financial partners through this new portal, we are thanking God for each one and know that He will fully supply our every need to sustain this calling long-term. Thank you to each of you for the encouragement, support and provision that you have so generously entrusted to us.

We pray that through our marriage and our lives, the world may see that life abundant is found in fully trusting and following Jesus. God bless, and we can’t wait to share more updates as we enter into this new season of our lives serving God together in Thailand!!
