Well, today is the day... I am supposed to come up with another $3,282 for the trip leaving on June 25. So... that means, if anyone reading this is praying about partnering with me, now is the time to do it! I'm learning more and more about what we will be doing in South Africa. For the first month we will be traveling around the country on a converted bus, meeting and getting to know the people and their needs. We will be traveling to schools, meeting with AIDS victims, and sharing God's love in whatever ways we can.
After that, we are going back to Cape Town where we will be involved in a variety of ministries to voiceless and marginalized people there. We will be reaching out to kids who are at an ever increasing risk of being trafficked into prostitution especially as Cape Town prepares to welcome the world to the 2010 World Cup soccer tournament. We will also be looking for ways to minister to AIDS victims who may have come there to suffer alone with the disease away from the stigma and violence of their villages. Then there is the chance to minister to women working in the sex trade in Cape Town. If you would like to learn more about the organization I will be working with there, please check out www.avoiceforthevoiceless.co.za there are also amazing photos on this website!
Please pray for me as I try to raise the rest of the money within a week and plan to leave. I already have my plane ticket, and will be staying in South Africa until at least December. I am very excited about this opportunity and thanks for everyone who decides to partner with me to bring much needed change to the world!
