63 Days

63 days. 63 days is all that is left until we embark on this amazing journey. It's felt so far away for so long and now it feels so soon! For those of you who don't know the story behind this trip or Bulembu, take a few minutes to watch this video:

Through Gordon, a team of 11 students and one faculty member have this amazing opportunity to go to Swaziland for a month this summer! We'll be doing a variety of tasks from grass slashing to facilitating games for children.

At this point in the year, we are in the middle of fundraising! While it is necessary, it is definitely not my favorite part of doing a missions trip. Each person who is going costs approximately $3,300 for the entire month. This seems like such an overwhelming cost, but from past experience I've seen God provide through those who He calls to give. Thank you to all who have given to support me and members of the team already and thank you to those who are considering supporting in the near future. Money is obviously not the only thing we are looking for to support this trip. Prayer is an absolute necessity. Thank you to those who have kept the preparation of this trip in your prayers as well as the team. We are forever grateful!

If you are interested in learning more about this trip or contributing to me and my team, please let me know!

I'll be updating this weekly (hopefully) with updates about Bulembu and our progress as a team.

God bless!
