For,"Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? How can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? How can they hear without someone preaching to them?
Luke 10:2
" The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send workers into His harvest field."
Last year I was given an amazing opportunity and privilege to travel to Angola on a medical mission trip. I have been changed by God forever as a result of that trip. I was humbled beyond belief. I was and am blessed with such a great family of believers and a support system who were right beside me through it all. Many people were involved and there with me on that trip as we meet physical needs of people and opened the door to their hearts and filled it with the Good News of JESUS!! Thank you again to those who answered the call by finances, prayer and time. Thank you to the ones who helped to call for Lane and Bryson while I was gone. The time has come and the call is present for me to once again offer my body as a living sacrifice holy and pleasing to HIM. This is huge, it is not something that I can do alone, therefore, this is me reaching out for help.
God has placed a burden on my heart for those around the world who do not know Him. We should all have that burden. We are Gods only plan to share His word and save the lost...there is no plan B. I am not perfect by any means but God didn't save me when I was perfect. He saved me when I was very very lost. He pulled me out of the darkest hole I have and hope to ever know. He has taught me of His sovereignty and His love. I know that there will never be a mountain to big for my God to move or use. God used my son Kylers life and death to change my life. I am dedicated to not letting that be for nothing!! Many peoples lives have been changed by God through my son and I am not going to let that stop. When I have the opportunity to travel across the world and reach a people who have never had the chance to know God...my son is there sharing Jesus to them through me.
I do not like asking for help. Whether it be at work, home or financial assistance I just feel bad... So I fully intended on funding this trip on my own. However, I have a wonderful friend who has been right by my side and we have grown in Christ together who so kindly enlightened me that i was robbing her and everyone else. She reminded me of what it talks about in 3 John 5-8, For they have gone out for the sake of the name, accepting nothing from the Gentiles. Therefore we ought to support people like these, that we may be fellow workers for the truth. She told me that God has called her to send and that by paying my own way I was not giving her or anyone else the opportunity to be fellow workers of the truth. So I would like to give you an opportunity to be involved, to partner with me and send Jesus and medical treatment across the world!! God has blessed us by placing us in one of the wealthiest nations! Around 90% of the world lives off of less that $2 a day...what will we do with the blessing that God has given us. Anything that you can give $5 or $500 will be put towards travel and also supplies, toys and coloring books for the children. I ask for all of your prayers for my family while I will be gone, its not easy to leave your husband and children, or for them to loose you for 2 weeks but I mainly would ask for prayers for the people who we will encounter that God will prepare their hearts for the Good News that will be coming their way. Our trip is set for July 22- Aug 1st. It will take 2 days travel each way.
