Wanna go on a short-term trip to Moz!?!


After spending a week at home, I headed off for Atlanta! I arrived and 3 hours later was presenting my videos and sharing stories about my trip to Mozambique! No rest for the weary…

Many people don’t know that I graduated from High School in Dacula, GA and my mom and step-dad still live there. They were kind enough to set up two different opportunities for me to share about my book and plans for Mozambique. It was also nice to meet so many of their friends who I hear so much about.
 
Saturday my friend Taylor came to visit. Taylor and I volunteered at Campus Life in Downers Grove, IL for 3 years together. She moved to Charlotte, NC about the same time I moved to Detroit. We daydreamed about organizing a short-term missions trip to Moz… aahhhhh what a lovely thought. I wouldn’t be part of the short-term, but I would get to host them!

Speaking of short-term trips, two guys from Indian River Methodist Church went on a short-term trip to help with a building project. They got a great start to a new home that will allow us to house short-term teams and long-term missionaries. If you are interested in taking a team to Mozambique please e-mail me!

Support Update:
I’ve raise 57% of the funds needed for my trip in January and 15% of my goal for monthly support.

Monthly financial support is still my greatest need. Click here for more information about giving and my other support needs. 


Prayer Requests/Updates:
- Julia & Adriano are getting ready to travel to Brazil.
- The boys semester just finished, they are on there summer break. Many of them just took finals and will find out their scores in a week or so. In Moz not everyone has finals each year, only certain grades.
- Support raising! That I will meet my goals =)
- I'm hoping to book a one way flight this week! I'm hoping to fly over with my friend Karin, who will be serving for a year in Lesotho. We're looking for good connections and cheap flights!!!

Thanks to all who read. Your support means the world to me!
