Short Clips!

The following are a few clips from my last trip to Africa. I had an amazing experience working with ACTS! I look forward to working with them again soon!! I also look forward to continue building relationships with these friends of mine!

God truly blessed these past friendships and I look forward to see how He continues to bless in the future!! Please continue to pray for the group as we get ready for this great adventure!

Going to businesses!

After a long day of going to local businesses to ask for funds for the mission trip to Zimbabwe, we found a guy that looked like he should be going on the trip with us! So Melissa was quick to make friends with Mr. Giraffe! Maybe we can stuff him in a suitcase, he needs to get home to Africa, to be free in the Wild!!

Raising Money to go to Zimbabwe!!

Kyndall, Stacie and Melissa are going on a two week mission trip in July. We have had fun raising some money! Please pray for us as we prepare for this trip and that God would provide all of the funds needed to make this adventure happen!

The very cool shirt that you see in these photos are also for sale to raise money for the mission trip. If you would like one of these shirts let me know. They say "proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners" Isaiah 61
These were made by an amazing organization called http://www.fundthenations.com/ check out their web site and if you need to raise some funds I highly recommend this as an option!
