I have been blessed with an opportunity of a lifetime.
The Lord has placed a need to help others on my heart and I intend to do my best to do just that. I may not have everything in life I want, but I have more than I need and deserve. I want to share what I have and what I am able to give by helping the people of South Africa. I am stepping out of my comfort zone because I know the Lord will protect me. I am honored to accompany some lovely ladies and new friends who share a love of the Lord, a heart for giving, and the bravery to do so.
We will be traveling to Tanzania and South Africa where we will be teaching English and Math to children. We will also be hosting a Bible school for children with arts & crafts and hopefully presenting each child with their very own Bible. To children who have very little compared to everyone I know, time spent with them is very appreciated. We will also be purchasing food and supplies for the orphanages in Upendo and Msamaria and if it's the Lord's will, we will be assisting to build a small home for a family in need.
As we prepare for our trip in October, we are looking to you for support. This page has been set up for monetary donations for our mission. We also ask that you share this page with your friends who may want to contribute, as well. All donations will be go toward the supplies needed as mentioned above as well as volunteer expenses such as flight, room and board, and the volunteer permit that is required for Tanzania. Although this mission trip requires a great amount of funding, that is no comparison to the feeling of giving, love, and doing God's will.
I have taken a different direction in my life. The corporate world no longer fulfills me. I have discovered My Purpose and I truely believe that purpose is to Give! This will be the first of many more volunteer trips. With prayer and the support of my family and friends, I know I will have the strength to do God's will. I would be lying if I said I wasn't scared and nervous. I have prayed and prayed and prayed some more and asked the Lord for guidance. I know once I see the faces of the kids we will be meeting and the adults we will be helping, my heart will be calm.
Your donation can be big or small, whatever God puts on your heart to give. All will be appreciated. To my extended family who will be going on this trip as well, I am very proud of you all.
Thank You All & May God Show You Your Purpose In Life!!!
Pamela :)
