So...last
summer, I went to Antigua, Guatemala with my sister doing missions work with a
group from Watkinsville First Baptist Church. While in Guatemala we worked with
Nathan, a full-time missionary with Engadi
Ministries. Engadi Ministries works to break the gang cycle in boys and helps
them find refuge and growth in Christ by giving them a home to train them in
the instruction of the Lord. Learn more about the ministry here. http://www.engadiministries.org/
The trip was life changing and the Lord put a burden in my
heart for the boys in Guatemala. This
summer, I am returning to Guatemala during the second week of June (8-15) with
Watkinsville First Baptist Church to continuing helping Nathan with his work in
Antigua. Our work will involve ministering to
the children in the city as well as helping with the construction of the boys’
home.
Not
only am I going to Guatemala this summer but I will also be going to Honduras
during the last week of June (22-29) to work at Orphanage Emmanuel. (www.orphanageemmanuel.com) This ministry takes in unwanted children and gives them a
chance at a life that they would not have had otherwise. During our time there,
we will be helping on a construction project in addition to spending lots of
time with the kids and showing them the love of Jesus.
So here’s the nitty gritty: the cost for the trip to
Guatemala is $1300, and the cost of the Honduras trip is around $1100. This is a lot of money that I do not have. However,
praise the Lord that the cost of the Honduras trip is already covered, so all
I need to do is raise $1300. It is with great faith and knowing that this is
the will of the Lord that I have committed to these trips with full assurance
that God will supply the money. I
ask that you prayerfully consider partnering with me in prayer and in finances.

Please know that these trips are not possible without your help. The reason we are here on earth is to spread the saving knowledge that the only way to get to heaven is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone.
