Praise God Report!

So the Lord is so faithful to provide! I sent out fundraising letters a month or so ago, and my prayer through the whole month of Dec. and most of Jan. was that God would provide $2000, I got an email the other day, saying someone was willing to give me $500 PRAISE THE LORD or how we like to say it (PTL) I have reached the amount I felt like I needed to have by the end of Jan. to truly know God had called me there. When you ask you will receive! Praise the LORD!!!
Mukama Yebazebwi! Amina!

How it all started...

I know some of you are thinking, "What is this girl thinking, spending her whole summer in Africa, graduating high school early to dedicate a whole year to the Lord, and nothing else really, she is crazy." I know I feel the same way about my future sometimes, but the Lord keeps bringing me back to this saying, "because someone has to love them".

Let me give you a little back ground to help those of you who don't know me super well, I grew up in a family where ministry and missions were a normal part of life. My mom traveled around singing, so our family was always involved in that, and we began going down to Mexico when I was in first grade to do Christmas gift distribution with the children there. I have also had the amazing opportunity to serve in Guatemala, Mexico, Uganda, and the United States. But through all these trips let me tell you one thing that keeps amazing me every time. It doesn't matter where you go there are ALWAYS people who need to be loved.

So through all the good events in the past, and even the ones that challenged my faith, I stand here today to say "I WILL GO, BECAUSE SOME1 HAS 2 LOVE THEM!" It only takes 1 person to show love to the lost, broken, and hopeless brothers and sisters of mine across the world. In my mission statement because some1 has 2 love them, it's not only my mission statement, but my plan of action. Here it goes it doesn't get anymore simple, #1 It only takes 1 person and #2 to show someone the TRUE LOVE of Jesus. In the Bible we are commanded to love Jesus, and love others.

So what's the next few months look like?

-In the next few months I will be preparing to spend 2 months in Africa, doing all types of ministry from orphan relief to street ministry at the World Cup. I will also be taking a world missions class called Perspectives, and continuing leading a middle school small group at my church.

What countries will you be in?

- This summer I will be living in South Africa for 1 month, then flying up to meet the second half of my team in Zambia for our second month.

What are your future plans?

-As of now the future plans for after high school are still a little up in the air, but I'm planning on graduating at semester next year (Dec 2010) and dedicating a full year solely to seeking God's face, as of now I'm looking at a few "leadership academies" (Desperation Leadership Academy in Colorado, Honor Academy in Texas, 24 7 in Alabama/Arkansas, and The Movement in L.A)

So there is a little update on what's going on in my life, and the amazing yet a little scary journey that God is bringing me on, I'm super excited to be able to be the hands and feet to the lovely African people again this summer, but at the same time I can't do it alone. Would you prayerfully consider supporting me through prayer and finances, it has been very clear that God has called me to go this summer, and I know he will call those forward who are to be the senders of the goers. Its a chain, and the goers can't go if the senders don't respond to the call, and the prayers are being called to intercede for the goers. Would you consider donating to the cause, "because someone has to love them". If you are wanting to donate, please shoot me an email at, because.some1.has.2.love.them@gmail.com, and I can get you all the information you will need.

Thank you for joining with me on this journey, and this will be the spot to find updates on what's next, through out this journey.
