I have started this blog to help people know and to show the progress of my dream of going to Africa. This is a journey of how I see God working in my life and as I grow closer to Him I will know and understand the plan He has for me.
The reason I feel like I am called to Africa is that when I was 6 years old God birthed a desire and passion in me to be a missionary in Africa, as well as, I believe that I was given all ability to change and reach the world. I have been called live at a higher standard and to go in to the all the world, and preach the gospel to every living thing. I know that I am called to be a world changer: to raise the dead and cast out demons, and to show love and life to all.
I have been called to see the unthinkable,
do the impossible,
conquer the ordinary and beat all odds!
We as Christians must choose to rise up and show the same love and compassion that God has toward us. Not to push stuffy religion down people’s throats but to help them see change and their need for God. You have all heard the saying, “actions speak louder than words” which is true. So if the Bible tells me to go into the entire world, and I don't (or wait and think it is for someone else) that is a contradiction to what we believe. Even if Christians don't go to another country they are still on a battlefield and a mission field everyday in whatever God has called them to do. We are ALL called by God to invoke change. In the Bible it says in Romans 12:2 "And do not conform to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God". I want to be transformed by God himself! I want to be a living sacrifice to the Lord. I would willingly give up my life for Him, to be able to live out the call that is on my life!
In this call to be a missionary there are so many aspects and each must be taken day by day. I have several areas that I am working on now. My plan is to join with Global Expeditions (Ron Luce & Teen Mania) for a 25 day unforgettable trip to South Africa next July. So I need lots of time to raise the money. You have the opportunity to be an investor in the course of changing lives. Each one of us has an opportunity in many different ways. I know that I have personally sewn in several ministries in Africa and believe God for an abundant return.
I believe this event will be life changing and will forever be seared in my heart. For this trip to be possible for me I still need plenty of commitment from the people around me. This first idea I have in fundraising is creating and designing this quilt. I eventually will be able to take this skill to the nation of Africa, and I will be able to teach to the people one day. I will enlarge my borders and run with the dream!
Here is a picture of the quilt I am raffling off. I need raffle ticket buyers! This quilt is 56x81 and will fit a twin bed or could be used as a cozy throw on a couch. It is all cotton, machine washable and preshrunk. But…. that’s not all….. if you win this quilt on July 30th it also comes with a matching pillow sham!!!!
I am passionate about planning for my future. I realize without good planning and excellent preparation those dreams will only be ideas that will never be fulfilled. I would like to say a big thank you to all of you who plan to partner with me in this endeavor and to broaden the scope of this vision. Please email me or call me soon with any questions or where to send the donation! I will soon be opening a special account at US Bank and be accepting donations through that account. The drawing will be Monday, July 30th.
