Information

Hello!

Okay, the who's, what's and wheres (and more)!

Who:  Who are you going with?  A team from my church!  I attend Clinton Valley Assembly of God in Clinton Township, MI.  It's a small(er, but growing!) congregation that heartily preaches the personal relationship God wants to have with us.  I have been going to this church since May of 2013 and greatly enjoy my time and worship there.

What: What are you going to be doing there?  A week-long Vacation Bible School for the children, as well as potentially some other community service projects along the way including but not limited to construction and painting.  In general, preaching about God's love to the children, while showing them what it feels like - by loving on them ourselves!  Hoping to inspire, encourage, teach, and learn.

Where: Where are you going?  The Republic of Macedonia!  More specifically, Skopje - home of the Millennium Cross ... one of the largest crosses in the world!

When: When are you going?  June 13th-June 21st, 2014.  A week-long trip, with two days of travel time.

Why: Why are you going?  That's a trick question, right?  To spread God's love to the unreached!  To be used by God in spectacular ways.  If I can encourage even one person, that's one more soldier for the Army of God!

Cost: How much is it going to cost you?  That's the painful question.  The trip is $1,800, and everything is included in that - airfare, food, lodging, etc.  However, I will also need to get a passport, which is $165 after fees.  I'm rounding up to a solid $2,000, to include buying some supplies for the VBS, and treats for the children.  Anything raised beyond that will go toward buying a few souvenirs and gifts - and/or donated to another person going on a missions trip!

Help?: How can I help you?  There are MANY ways you can help me!  I need PRAYERS - and tons of them!  Not only will this be my first time going on a missions trip, and helping spread the word of God, but it will also be my first major trip out of the country.  I need prayers to help me keep focus as the date nears.  I need prayers that God will use to me to His will while I'm there.  I need prayers that I can raise the appropriate amount of funds needed for the trip, by the appropriate deadlines.  I need prayers for safe travels, you name it - I need prayers for it!

I also need your help, monetarily!  I cannot make this trip without your support, and fully trust God will provide with me it through hard work, and YOU!  Please keep watch for when I have started the online donation site, I'll keep you in the know!

Thank you for your support in whatever way God moves you to help!
