Beloved friends, family, and readers:
I want to share with you a challenging
ministry opportunity God has presented for me to take part in. During
all of June, I will be going to Ukraine with a team of people from
all over the United States. We will be working directly with orphaned
and abandoned and I couldn't be more excited to invest time and love
into these precious children.
The orphan epidemic in Eastern Europe
is a huge issue that is often overlooked and not talked about. The
ministry that I will be going to Ukraine with is well-aware of this
epidemic and has been running Christ-centered camps for orphans for
20 years. I will be working alongside Ukrainian nationals to provide
a Christ-centered program for these children. The presence of
American Volunteers has encouraged Ukrainian locals to consider
assisting at the camps and it helps boost overall morale. This is
life-changing experience for everyone involved and I couldn't be more
excited to serve in Ukraine.
Everyday we will be teaching Bible
lessons, doing crafts, playing games, and doing skits. By combining
both Ukrainian and American cultures, a unique community is formed.
By combining all of our attributes we will become an unshakable team
and we can speak life and hope into children that have a very bleak
future. I believe that through Jesus these children will not be a
statistic and will come back from camp forever changed. Our time with
these children is vital and valuable, they deserve to spend a few
fun-filled weeks surrounded by love and acceptance.
I need to raise $3,000 by May 30th. If
you can support me in a financial way, I would be
forever grateful. Every dollar gets me
one step closer to my goal, no donation is too small.
And, most importantly, I also need your prayers. Your prayers mean
more to me than I could ever being to describe to you. . . pray that
the lives of these children are forever changed. Pray that I'm able
be a light in the darkness and a source of strength for the children
that I come in contact with.
Thank you and I can't wait to share
this journey with all of you.
