Thank You!!!!!!

Thank you so much for your prayers and support!!! We had an amazing trip to Mozambique and Swaziland and it was only possible because of you.
We started off in Mozambique. The first day we visited an orphanage and was able to love on the kids, before heading on to the church where we helped feed the kids. I always love when we get to feed the kids but it is also extremely hard when we run out of food before the line ends and we have to turn kids away hungry (which happens on a daily basis). After feeding the kids we had time to just play with them, I was passing out stickers while the rest of the team was doing face paint. You will see in the video I was being mobbed by the kids for the stickers. We spent the second day setting up for the VBS and hanging out with the kids. I met a little boy named Dan (you will see him in a lot of the pictures) he stole my heart from the moment he jumped in my arms and wrapped himself around me. I inquired into whether or not he has a sponsor and found out he was the only kid in the preschool without a sponsor. Their was a mix up in his paperwork and he was never listed, I am now pushing for his paperwork to go through so that I can sponsor him. The third day we did a huge one day VBS where we had over 600 kids show up. We did worship, craft, snack, inflatables, and almost every kid left with a brand new pair of flip flops. The highlight of the day was every kid got to eat that day and to top it off it was chicken (something they do not get very often). On Sunday we attended church at HPC Mozambique, while some shared in adult church the rest of us helped teach children’s church. We had 300 in children’s church and every kid left that Sunday with a brand new HPKids t-shirt. After church I had to tell Dan bye and we headed to Swaziland. When we arrived in Swaziland we had dinner with all of the care point teachers at one of the missionaries house. To see how they have grown was amazing!!!! When I went in 2005 their was about 10 teachers now it’s somewhere close to 75 teachers. Of the original 10 their is about 5 still there, what amazed me is they remembered my name and everything about me and everything we ever taught. At that moment God showed me that we are making a difference. We spent two days in Swaziland putting on a Children’s Conference at the HPC Swaziland Campus. We taught on Worship, puppets, story telling, proper discipline, and games. We had a question and answer time, where they were able to ask us anything and that was very successful. For Wednesday night service we were at HPC Swaziland where a few of us shared during service. After service we had to say our good bye’s because Thursday morning we began our 40 hour trip home!
Through your support you hugged all of these kids, you held Dan in your arms and helped him to find a sponsor, and you trained these teachers to make a difference in the lives of the African kids. You may not realize it but YOU made a difference in Africa. Thank you for your sacrifice!!!!

Getting Ready

Just one more day of VBS and then time to focus on getting ready for Africa. I leave Monday for Mozambique & Swaziland, please keep the team in your prayers. It is going to be an awesome trip and great opportunity to reach hundreds of kids. Can't wait to see what God has in store!!!!

One More Time!!!!!!

Dear Family & Friends,

I have once again been given the opportunity to accompany Healing Place Church Children’s Ministry on a mission trip to Mozambique & Swaziland Africa. In both countries we will be helping to bring their Children’s Church to a new level. We will also spend a few days in each country training their leaders as well as putting on a VBS for the children. Over the years I have been given the chance to meet many of these children, but as we both know a new face is appearing as an old face is disappearing on a daily basis.
I have also been given the opportunity to accompany a team from Healing Place Church on a mission trip to the Amazon Jungle in Brazil. On this trip to the Amazon we will be helping 6 to 7 churches develop and begin a children’s ministry in there church. We will be training their leaders on how to teach and train the kids, and we will also put on a kids crusade for the kids in the Amazon Jungle.
It is only with your help that it will be possible for me to make a difference in the lives of the children of Africa and Brazil. There is no greater feeling than knowing you have made an impact in the life of a child. By joining with me you can make a difference in the lives of the children in Africa and Brazil as well. Please prayerfully consider in what way God would have you help assist me. I am asking for your backing through prayer as well as financially. My complete cost for both of the trips is $7,000; I am solely responsible for raising my funds. If God is leading you to support me on these trips please make checks payable to Healing Place Church and send to me or the church. All donations are tax deductible. Thank you for taking the time to prayerfully consider uniting with me on this life changing experience.
All for His Glory!
