This entire journey has been quite a whirlwind, and we're 4 months away from our departure date! It all started with a postcard and a phone call to find out more information and within a month, God had turned my life upside down and I was accepted and placed a deposit to hold my spot on a team of people, none of which I have ever met, going to Africa for 6 months.
This journey has already been one of great loss, great stretching and exponential growth for me. I wish I could say I have enjoyed it all, but in reality, there have been nights spent crying out to God for His strength and His courage, but in the midst of the sometimes overwhelming fear, there is a light that always shines through and a peace that surpasses all understanding that Africa is where God has called me from July 7th to December 22nd.
So far, I have raised a little over $2500, and the trip's total is $8800, but I am 100% trusting God that if I do the work, He will bring the reward.
As I write this, we are 115 days out from the trip and I cannot wait to see what God is going to do in those days, let alone the incredible 6 months that follow!
