Can You Imagine?

My heart broke the first time I went to Africa as I watched children as young as 2 years old (could have been even younger) walking down the street alone carrying their bowl to get their only meal of the day. They came and sang songs, played games, heared a Bible story and then got their daily meal. Then I would watch them leave and wonder where are they going, do they even have a home, do they have parents? What broke my heart is that for some of them the answer was NO! Can you imagine? What if that was your child? I came back from that trip with a heart and a passion to make a difference. Join me in making a difference in the lives of these children!!!!

A New Season

Dear Family, Friends & Supporters,
First I want to thank you for all the prayers and support you have poured into my life throughout the years. I would not be where I am today without you.
I am so excited about this new season God is moving me into. As many of you know when I returned from Africa 5 years ago I returned with a heart that ached for the children I met there. I have spent the past 5 years allowing God to use you and others to prepare me for the open door that is now before me to go to Mozambique, Africa for 3 months to serve Pastors Isaac & Carol Williams.
During the 3 months in Mozambique I will be working with these great leaders at the HPC campus. I will be training their leaders in everything from basic computer skills and budgeting finance to helping with their children’s ministry and anything else they need.
Just to tell you a little bit about what goes on in Mozambique; there are 500 children fed daily, 250 of those are in Nkobe, which is where I will be living. Some of these children are single orphan, some are double orphan, but most are living in vulnerable situations. As a church we have about 100 young people who attend youth service each week, 40 women involved in our women’s ministry and 140 adults and 270 children who attend Sunday morning services. As you can see in Mozambique the children out number the adults at a 2:1 ratio. Where as churches here in the states the adults out number the children at a 6:1 ratio.
Please join me in making a difference in Mozambique, Africa. I am asking that you prayerfully consider partnering with me so I can serve our campus and its pastors in Mozambique. My airfare, living expenses and travel insurance will be $7,500.00 for those 3 months and I must raise $3,000.00 of that amount by December 1st so I can purchase my plane ticket. The remaining $4,500.00 will be due by January 15th and this amount will cover my living expenses while I am there. If God is leading you to unite with me in this new season you can give online at www.goglobalmissions.com or make checks payable to Go Global Missions or Healing Place Church and return to me at my home address. Any donation you make will be tax deductible and very much appreciated. Please expect updates from me as I move toward the goal He has set before me. Thank you again for taking the time to consider me in this next part of my journey. Your prayers and support are going to mean so much.
All for His Glory!!!!

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!!!!
