Hi Friends and Family!
I am raising money for a ten week mission trip I am taking to Mozambique, Africa from June 1st through mid August. The video I shared tells a little about my heart and what I will be doing while in Mozambique. Making this video made me wish I was there already haha. I am SO excited! It is hard to put into words how grateful I am to have this opportunity and to watch how God so beautifully orchestrates our lives. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for allowing me to share and for taking an interest in what I am passionate about.
I am eager to join the Iris Global team in Pemba. Iris considers themselves a holistic ministry, meaning they are interested in every type of need that we humans have - be it having fresh water to drink, education, medical services, a place to live, a family to belong to, healing from sickness and disease, or emotional and spiritual healing.
But more than all that, they want others to encounter the radical love of our Heavenly Father, to feel the touch of the Holy Spirit, and to experience the power of His Son Jesus Christ. And that is exactly what I want for all people, too. So to have an opportunity to join them in loving others in Mozambique is quite humbling to me. (The link below tells all about what is going on at the Pemba Center in Mozambique.)
If you feel compelled to donate, please see below for more information about the specific costs of the trip. And again, THANK YOU so, so, SOOO much for your love, prayers, and support. It would not be possible without all of you!
Organization I will be joining: Iris Global Ministries http://www.irisglobal.org Please check out their site to read more about them! :)
When the money is needed by:
April 25th - $3,200 (room and board is due)
ASAP - remaining funds to purchase airfare and start visa applications
What the money will be used for:
- $2,000: Airfare from Los Angeles to Mozambique, Africa. I am using a trusted travel agent that works with the organization and is looking for the absolute BEST deals possible.
- $3,200 Room and board while living in Mozambique. Room = small house with 4 to 6 bunk beds that I will share with up to 12 people, 1 bathroom, 1 stove and 1 refrigerator. Meals provided = bread, tea, rice, beans, meat. There will be a store nearby where I can purchase vegetables and fruit to supplement my diet.
- $600 "Extra" money for toilet paper and water each week. Estimated $300 per month
- $150 International Medical Insurance
- $250 Visa for my stay in Mozambique, one time entry with possibly extended stay fees (estimated cost)
- Undetermined cost: Transit Visas (Some of the countries I may be travelling through now demand a Visa just to land in their country for layovers. This is called a transit visa.)
- Undetermined cost: Vaccinations and personal medical/First Aid "pack"
BIG SHOUTOUT to my good friends Tanya and Aaron P. who put me up to this :) I wouldn't have done it otherwise. Love you guys.
