Over the past few years I have felt the Lord leading me into the mission field. In 2011, I was part of a team from my church that traveled to the Dominican Republic. We spent ten days working with children in an orphanage. This experience changed my life! I believe this step of faith has led me to where I am today…and the desire to serve in a more long-term ministry in Africa. This fall I am planning to head to Uganda for six months to work with the organization Empower A Child.
While there, I will be working in primary & secondary schools, juvenile detention centers, and the Babies Home (for orphaned children 0-5 years old). I will participate in a sports ministry and help with ongoing construction projects. I will also volunteer at Katalemwa, a hospital for children with severely broken limbs and disabilities. In every venue, I will be sharing the gospel, leading small groups & worship, performing skits and helping to organize “day camps” for large groups of children. I believe this experience will not only grow me spiritually, but challenge me emotionally.
I realize that my participation in this missions trip is dependent on the support it will take to get there. I am trusting that the Lord will provide in every area, including finances. The total cost will be about $7,000. This will cover airfare, room and board, and transportation. Thank you, in advance, for your support!
