Hey ya'll!
It’s
that time of year again! I am preparing
to go on another amazing journey of missions!
As you may know, I visited an orphanage only for 1 day while in Ukraine,
and I fell in love with it! During the
time I was there, I was able to hold and play with 3-year-olds who were so
precious. In my life, I have felt
unwanted in the past, so I know (in a way) how they feel. If you don’t know my testimony, I would be
more than happy to share it with you sometime!
As you know, I’m attending Copiah Lincoln Community College, majoring in Christian Studies, and I am a member of the Baptist Student Union (BSU). Through the BSU, I have the awesome opportunity to be a part of the “Little Orphan Nanny” summer missions in the Philippines! I knew I wanted to serve somewhere with orphans, and so through the International Mission Board (IMB), I have that opportunity.
I will be traveling to the Philippines from May 29-August 1! I will be able to share my faith and disciple those around me! I will be a part of the Nehemiah Team and will care for “the least of these.” I am excited to help play with and hold little children, but also to disciple youth because helping and teaching youth is where my heart is.
While in the Philippines, I will be:
·
Mopping
floors
· Changing diapers
· Feeding and holding babies
· Playing with children
· Disciple youth
· Changing diapers
· Feeding and holding babies
· Playing with children
· Disciple youth
If you would like to join me on
this journey, your prayers and/or financial support would be greatly
appreciated. All monies are due by
April 1st. I am also selling shirts
to help raise money. The shirts will be
long sleeve for $20 and short sleeve for $15 in two different colors you can
choose from.
Shirt includes the verse James
1:27. The shirt money is due by February
28th.
I am looking forward to seeing what God has
in store for me this coming summer, and to just give my summer to Him and to
serving orphans.
Please pray that God will give me a servant’s heart and to remember what I’m there for. Also to pray that I will share the love of Christ with these kids and teenagers and to let them know that they are wanted. Thank you so much.
