Isaiah 6:8 reads “Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I, Send me!”
For the past 8 years, I have worked as a special education teacher. I’ve also worked as an EMT with Monroe Community Ambulance. I have a passion for working with people who are less fortunate and/or in need of assistance. I also have a love for traveling but nothing compares to the love I have for Jesus. It was placed on my heart many months ago to do a mission trip in Africa and with the help of my pastor, Ron Schulz, it became a reality when I was introduced to MOST Ministries in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
On July 26th, 2013, I will have the privilege of being a member of a 12-day mission team going to Africa. This team will be serving as an Eyeglass/Evangelism team in Shinyanga,Tanzania. Many people will travel, often walk, for hours to get to the clinic. If you would like to contribute to this great cause, we are collecting eyeglasses. I can arrange a time to meet you and pick them up. I will then deliver them to Ann Arbor where they will be inspected before we take them with us.
I will be working at the eyeglass clinic during the day and evangelizing in the evening. Due to my medical background, the team has asked if I would be a medical representative for the team and the first aid station at the clinic. I can now see how God has given me the appropriate experience and knowledge to help prepare me for the days ahead. I feel blessed to know I will have the opportunity to teach people the most important lesson in life- to have faith and trust in our Lord and Savior. Although the eyeglasses will help them see, Jesus will guide and comfort them.
The team needs the prayer support of concerned Christians. I am asking you to consider being a prayer partner for me, the team, and the ministry who will provide in Tanzania. Through this eyeglass/evangelism team, the local pastor will have the opportunity to share the Gospel message with hundreds of people in his community. We will have an evangelistic outreach and go door-to-door in villages to those who came to the clinic and requested a visit. We will sit down with families and teach them about Jesus. Sometimes the country roads can make traveling difficult, so pray for timely arrivals and safety.
As a team member, I am responsible for my own travel, lodging, food, and other expenses. The total cost of this trip will be approximately $4800.
Please consider being a part of this team with your prayers, providing eyeglasses, and/or financial support.
God Bless You,
