Dear friend of Breezey Allen,
Thank you for being an
important person in our mutual friend Breezey’s life. Breezey has been deeply
engaged in the Sanctuary community since we first met her at our annual
Christmas party back in December. For those of you who do not know, Sanctuary
seeks to be a community that particularly welcomes people who are excluded and
marginalized from most other places and people groups. This often includes
people who struggle with homelessness and other forms of poverty. Our goal is
to find a place that we can all belong, a place to call ‘home’. Since that
first meeting, Breezey has been a blessing to so many of our friends and has
embraced our community as a whole. It has been so fun for us to watch her grow
and find her place among us. We are thankful for who she is and for who she is
helping us to become.
I believe that given the
opportunity, Breezey will continue to be an even greater blessing to our
community. For that reason, we have decided to invite Breezey to be part of our
team in a greater capacity. We would like to offer her a paid position on our
staff, which would increase her time and capacity to invest more fully into the
work that we do. Unfortunately, Sanctuary does not have the funds at this time
to hire Breezey outright. Therefore, as with all staff, we are dependent on
friends and family like yourself who believe in the work of Sanctuary, believe
in Breezey, and are led by the Holy Spirit to partner with us both prayerfully
and financially in order to support this endeavor.
Breezey’s story is so exciting for me because it is so evident that God has been calling her and journeying with her through life in order to prepare her for this next step on her path. I hope her story will be as inspiring for you as it has been for me. Please pay particular attention to her heart for the hurting and broken people of our city, and prayerfully consider her request. Her request is not only for financial support, but it is an invitation for you also to engage and participate in the exciting work that God is doing in London.
Her letter is only the
beginning of the story, and Breezey would absolutely love the opportunity to
sit with you and talk further about her dreams and vision for working with
Sanctuary. I would also be happy to share more with you about Sanctuary, and to
answer any questions you may have. The work of Sanctuary is often hard and
heavy. We hurt with our friends and grieve that the world is not yet the way it
was intended to be. But each one of us has chosen to follow this calling on our
lives and have found deep joy in knowing that this is exactly where God is best
able to meet with us. If nothing else, please find a way to encourage Breezey
along the way.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Darryl Reckman.
