I am now 10 days out from leaving for Liberia!! I leave May 23 and I can't wait! Some of you know that last summer I had the opportunity to go to Uganda for a little over a week. And I fell in love. Uganda is my heart! And I will go back eventually but this past semester God revived my love for Africa and opened a door for me to go to Liberia with my home church! I was so excited and also a little shocked to have another opportunity so soon. But here I am...10 days prior to my second trip to Africa! God has shown me that if I trust in Him and surrender my life to Him then He will reveal Himself to me in amazing ways. His hand prints have been all over happenings in my life, especially the past few months. It is amazing to see that God completely orchestrated this whole trip and how everything has fallen into place so perfectly. And I give Him all the Glory!
I will be spending the first week with a ministry called L.A.C.E.S: Life and Change Experienced Through Sports. They are re-doing all of their promotional stuff for their ministry and needed a photographer....guess who!! Yep! God blessed me with an AMAZING opportunity to use my passion and talent as a photographer through missions!! I am so excited! And the last two weeks of the trip, I will be meeting up with the group from my church and we will be working in a village doing a VBS for the kids in the mornings and I will be working in an orphanage in the afternoons. This trip is going to change me in amazing ways and I am so excited and being able the be His hands and feet and just love on His people!
I will update you all on any information that needs to be added before I leave on the 23rd! As of now...I just want to ask you all to be praying for this trip! Please be praying for God to prepare my heart so that I can absorb all that He has set out for me! Also keep the rest of our Classic City Community Church Team in your prayers! God is going to move to greatly through us in Liberia!
I hope you all stay tuned for more! I love you all!
