First with a South Africa Update!!We had our first fundraiser last saturday! We held a garage sale which went wonderfully!! We made over $450! Not bad for something we threw together in a week(: we are holding another one this Saturday as well. check my facebook for the info on it if you are interested in coming!!!
In my last post, i said that our team was going to Cape Town, well we have had a change in plans! We are now going to Mafikeng instead. We will be doing the same things just in a different location(: I am soooo stinkin excited for this trip!! We are about 80-something days away from leaving, and to be honest i am struggling with funding. If any of you would like to help me make it to Africa, heres the info!
**If you feel led to support me financially, you can mail a check to my home address. (Email me at daddzgirl9262@aol.com and let me know if you want to do that) Make all checks payable to Sun Valley Community CHurch with my first and last name on the memo line, or you can visit www.sunvalleycc.com/onlinegiving and make an online donation using debit card, credit card or echeck. After creating an account and logging in, please select "South Africa 2011" from the "Fund" drop down menu and then my name from the "Sub Fund" menu and i will be notified of your gift. Know that all donations are tax deductible and documentation will be provided by the church at the end of this tax year.
Moreover, I ask that you pray for my team and i as we prepare to embark on this journey. We need prayer support while we are traveling, working and sharing the gospel. This community is in desperate need spiritually and it will take lots of prayer to soften some of their hearts to the message of Jesus. Pray that God prepares my heart as well as the hearts of my team members, for this mission and that we always have faith in His great power and mercy!
Thanks guys!!!(:
