I have never stepped foot outside of this country. The closest I've been outside of California was Las Vegas family trips to Circus Circus. I lived in North Carolina around the age of 2 but that doesn't count because we were there for a year and I have no idea what anything in that state looked like.
THIS SUMMER... I will be leaving the comfort of cozy California to go somewhere that God has placed on my heart. Somewhere I don't know how I would ever possibly have desired to visit apart from Christ. I will be leaving behind a world that doesn't know persecution and a culture so wrapped up into Christianity you can barely tell us from the non-believers. The Lord has called me to UGANDA!! To AFRICA.
We will not be staying in a hotel. We will be setting up shop in a tent. Within a school building. We will be there for 2 months helping out with the school, village and church there.
I wanted to share it with you all because today I realized that it is HAPPENING. Last year around this time I was in personal prayer about going to Africa. 5 months ago I was surrendering it to God, assuming He wouldn't send me until I was done with school and capable of affording the trip. The first Wednesday of this January I was being told that "the doors to Africa have opened. be in prayer."
God is so amazing and so faithful to give us the desires of our hearts and today at our 4th bake sale I witnessed the love of others and just the provision of God. We are 5 girls who seriously have no idea what we are doing other than the simple fact that God is calling all of us individually to go and be of service to Him to His beautiful people.
I guess. I really am just in need of PRAYER. This is a lot. A lot to take in and a lot to handle amidst the daily routine and grind. I will be needing 2 months off from work and still haven't told my boss about my leave of absence. We will not have the dates until we get the tickets at the end of next month so until I get the dates there is no point because the dates may be subject to change. WE also need prayer just as a group for God to bond all 5 of us ladies together in a knit that is not easily broken. God has great plans for us and I would hate to see any of us allowing the enemy to break us of His vision.
I'm so excited y'all and I just really wanted to share this with you. I know that many of you are prayer warriors so I am seeking it! We are doing bake sales in which donations are given and thus far the Lord has been blessing our Bake Sales but we still will need much more to get all five of us ladies on the plane. Please pray for more provision both financially and in prayer because that is what TRULY is funding this trip. The prayers of our hearts and those around us.
Thank you for reading and enjoy your FUNKY SUNDAY.
Yeah. I know it doesn't rhyme but you know it's true. :)
GET FUNKAAYY..

Hey CheChe-God will work out all the details. Years ago, I realized I was supposed to go on a trip to Israel. I had no idea until about a month and a half before the trip, but I KNEW then. Just didn't know the "how". Wouldn't you know God worked it out? I put my name in, and signed up in faith. I found out a week later, someone had anonymously paid my trip. All of it. The flight, hotel stays, bus fees. Everything. We are talking about a couple thousand dollars. Just know if He has called he will work out the details. I had to scramble to get a passport! So hopefully you have that all in order now! We feel the same way about Romania. This was a good reminder, it is time to start putting faith into action.
Much love, darling.

I am so excited for you! Its a gorgeous place, the people are incredible, and God is going to use you in great ways! Uganda is close to my heart. I went there on a missions trip for three and a half weeks. I cannot even begin to tell you how just being there and seeing their faith inspired me and changed my life and my perspective! I will be praying for you as you prepare for this great adventure! :)
