Africa here I come!

I was offically accepted to go on the trip to Kenya today!! I am SOOOOOOO EXCITED!! Now I have to start planning out all my fundraisers and sending out my support letters. I am going to have a Saide Hawkins Dance in November and a Silent Auction/Dinner sometime after the new year. If anyone has any ideas for any fundraisers please let me know!

Adventures in Missions

Right now I am in the process of applying for a mission trip with a group called Adventures in Missions. It is to Kenya, Africa and will be May 29-June 29, 2009. As soon as my references are turned in, I will have a phone interview and then find out if I am chosen for the team. I should know within the next month if I am going on the trip. Then I can start raising money. The trip costs $5,000 which will cover airfare from a training camp in the states, food, lodging, training, and supplies. I also have to raise money for a plane ticket from here to the training camp. I have already started to think about fundraising ideas.

From the time I was little I knew that I wanted to do mission work. I always felt God calling me to Africa. Within the last couple of months I have really felt God telling me to go now. Even though I may not think it is the best time financially or that I have enough time to raise money and leave the states for a month, I know that God is calling me to go now.
