Fund Samantha's 6 month Zambia Trip

Donation protected
As many of you may know, last June I visited Zambia for a short term missions trip.  This experience truly touched my heart and changed my life. In the months following my trip God changed my plans and pointed me in a whole new direction. Instead of starting graduate school in August, like I intended, I decided to defer my enrollment for a year and head back to Zambia. After seeing the great financial poverty affecting the precious children there, I knew I had to return and do my part to make a positive difference in their lives. 

       On January 2, I will be traveling to Livingstone, Zambia, where I will be teaching in a school for six months. Most of the students are orphans and live in extreme poverty. I’ve never taught in a school before but I am excited to see how God uses me and I am up for the challenge! 

       While in Zambia I will be staying at, and working with, International Volunteer Headquarters. I will be housed with other volunteers, provided with three meals a day, and if the power permits I will even be able to take hot showers and have access to wifi!!! Zambia is experiencing severe power shortages which are forecasted to grow worse in the coming months. But oh well - power or no - this will definitely be a once in a lifetime adventure that I will never forget! 

      In order to go, I need to raise $8,500 to cover the entire cost of my mission. That is less than $50 a day!  I know this is a lot of money, and I only have a little over three months to raise it, but I am confident God will provide for my financial needs. He wants me teaching in Zambia so I know he will provide a way for me to go.
