Halie Carley hasn't added a story.
For years I have told my children that God uses other people as his
hands and feet. We need to tell people our need so that God can use
them to meet that need. Well now I need to put my money where my mouth
is, so to speak.
Halie, our youngest has had Africa on her heart
since she heard an African missionary speak at a Montana Shepherds
Conference, several years ago. She knows that she is called to
missionary work in Africa, at least for a time. She currently attends
a Christian University because she believes that is where God has
called her to be. She has worked very hard to raise the extra money
needed to go to a Christian University. She started applying for
scholarships as a sophomore in High School. She knows her father and I
can’t help her anymore than we could help her older sisters.
As
a sophomore, she has an amazing opportunity to study abroad in Uganda
for her second semester. She will live with a host family there and
learn the Swahili language. Living with a family will show her what
life is truly like in this part of Africa and what the needs are
there. Children are also a soft spot in Halie’s heart and I imagine it
won’t be long until she is working with the children in Uganda even
while going to school.
I have to be honest, ever since she told
me that she needs to raise over $10,000 for this opportunity, I have
had panic attacks and had to pray, “Lord, I believe…help my unbelief.”
My heart would break if she missed out on this opportunity, knowing
there is no way we could pay for it. So now I have to believe what I
tell my girls…if it is God’s will, it is God’s bill.
So her
father and I are asking for your help to make this possible for Halie.
Those of you that know me know how very hard it is for me to ask for
help. But when it comes to my children, I will do whatever it takes.
(so if you see me on a corner with a sign, you know why ) Halie is
not worried however because she KNOWs that she knows that this is the
path God has called her too and He WILL provide.
Any amount is
appreciated! She has a long way to go and not much time. She leaves
sometime in January of 2014. Will you be God’s hands and feet for our
daughter and help her to follow the path God has laid out for
her?
Thank you so much for your support both in prayer and
financially!
