Missions Trip

I am going to be going on a missions trip ...... FINALLY!!! I have wanted to for years and the Lord is now opening the doors for me to go and I am so excited :) There is so much involved in getting ready, I didn't realize all I would have to do. I have to get my passport, not to mention raise the money needed. The trip is in July of 2011 and although that may seem a ways away it only leaves me 9 months to raise the money I need.
Well I am getting carried away with myself, let me tell you about it. I will be going with a group from my church to Johannesburg, South Africa. I know, pretty far away huh? Right now we have 8 people who will be going. Our primary goal will be evangelizing, we will be going to surrounding villages and doing VBS. The trip is going to cost somewhere around $2,000.00. I am doing many things to try and raise the money. This weekend I am doing a lot of baking and selling baked goods at a softball game. Throughout the next couple months I will be; having many bake sales, making and selling soap, and babysitting, and am trying to come up with many more money-making ideas.

If everyone would please pray for us in the next couple months that would be wonderful. It's going to be a very busy time as I prepare for the trip. Please pray for our whole group's health, help in raising the money needed, a good price on plane tickets, and most importantly our walk with God. Please pray that everything we would do would honor and glorify the Lord. We have a lot to do to get ready and I'm so excited to see what the Lord has in store for us.
So like I said prayers are appreciated. Thanks so much!! God bless :)
