God has called me to
start my Journey...And I need your help!
On June 23 I will be traveling with a Journey 117 team to Uganda. As a result of various issues such as HIV/AIDS, poverty, and child soldiering, children have been orphaned by death and disease throughout the country. Our team will serve alongside Ugandan believers as we minister to orphans in various care settings, including institutional orphanages, schools, and church-based homes. We will also be able to work with street kids in the slums of Kampala and come alongside the local churches to rescue kids from this environment. Our team will conduct recreational programs, distribute food and clothes, and share the gospel of Jesus Christ with those we come in contact with throughout our time there. By experiencing this culture first-hand and learning more about the various models of orphan care and rescue, I will walk away with a better understanding of how I can be an advocate on behalf of the fatherless. Taking this Journey is my first step in discovering what it means to live out Isaiah 1:17 in a relevant way.
In order to participate I need to raise approximately $3,000 that will cover my airfare, lodging, meals, training and other ministry-related expenses. Will you consider making a gift to Journey 117 to assist with these expenses as I take this step to discover my role in orphan ministry?
Note: My trip code for the online donation form is ST-7055-Last Name, for example, ST-7055-Smith. Use this code to ensure that your gift goes toward my trip expenses. Thank You!
