Our travel to Africa is just about upon us! We are partnering with another team from the Carolina's to join us in Kenya during July 2014! We will be ministering with the http://www.hopeafricaministries.org/ organization and will be assisting in two Women's Health Seminars, as well as bringing assistance to AIDS patients in the difficult slum areas of Nairobi. We are expecting as many as 300 women to show up for these and we need HELP! Our primary need is finances! Being in a different country, we have costs we have to pay just in order to do our seminars! We must pay publicity, token gifts to the senior officials in the public service, transportation, bread and drinks for the participants (many of which travel a long distance to come!). Our other needs are putting together small gift bags for the women. This will entail "hotel-type" soaps, shampoos, plastic cups and/or pencils, notepads. We are just trying to gather these supplies. In addition, we are bringing children's "picture-type" books for the school. Our hope is to educate and exhibit the love of Christ to all those we come in contact with. I am very happy to say that Mission: Hope has thus far been able to donate $1000 check to Hope Africa Ministries already to help with the purchase of land, as they expand their ministry to the children and people there. Our team has a lot to accomplish in a short amount of time! Please consider donating to this awesome cause! I anticipate that we will be taking further trips to this region. I have already been in contact with another ministry that is asking for Bibles and our dear friends ("20-something" twins, Keri & Michelle O'Neil) have a boy's home in Nairobi that they've asked if we could please stop by! http://grantabundantlife.org/
Everyone on our team has jobs! We are all taking our vacation times to do these trips! We are all raising our own funds! Would you consider donating to this cause? If so, please send a check to Mission: Hope, c/o Life Church, P. O. Box 1764, Jensen Beach, FL 34958 We still need funds to accomplish all this and more... and our timeframe is closing in on us!
