South Africa Ministry Tour!!!
Donation protected
I have some exciting plans that I would
like to share with you concerning this upcoming summer Global Opportunity God has
presented to me. In a few months, I will be traveling to Johannesburg, South
Africa for 10 (Aug. 29th - Sept. 7th 2013) days with my church Grace for the Nations Church in partnership
with The Growth Center Inc.
During our time in South Africa we'll be immersed in the African culture, gaining valuable exposure to and experience with the significant challenges and unique opportunities that South Africa has to offer. We will spend much of our time in local villages meeting and building relationships with South African communities, and we'll also get a tour of Johannesburg. Quite honestly, I anticipate that this trip will be difficult"“even heart-breaking at many points, as I may encounter some major culture difference. Yet, I know that God is at work in those places and I look forward to being stretched and challenged in my personal convictions and values as I see more of the needs present in our world.
This trip not just about me! Our prayer is that we will be an encouragement to and learn much from the people we meet and get to know! We will be connecting with the Matthews family Missionaries in South Africa while there I will experience a site tour that includes a school, functions of the ministry and communities they serve.
I would be delighted if you would partner with me and this amazing opportunity going to learn from and serve in the South Africa community. I recognize that you have your own responsibilities, and I am asking for your support. Every gift, whether small or large, will go directly to this Ministry Tour and will make it possible for me to reach the goal. I need to raise $2,500 to cover the cost of this trip. And I can't begin to tell you how important and significant your prayers will be in my preparation and actual participation in this trip.
Please check out my blog at http://actsouthafrica.tumblr.com/ for more information. Thank you for your generosity, and your prayers for a safe, exciting, fun filled and life changing trip to South Africa.
Sincerely In His Service,
