Our First Mission Trip!
Donation protected
Hi, our names are Trinity and Autumn; we are cousins & best friends and we are fundraising in faith to be able to follow the steps we believe God is leading us on to travel at the end of this Summer on a Mission Trip to help teach English in Indonesia for 3 weeks!
From Trinity:
Many times in my life I have felt called and pulled to international missions- the way doors have opened and shut in the past year I can see this is where God wants me but as a true leap of blind faith I will put this out there to see if I can receive the help I will need to help make this trip become a reality so I can step into this plan and purpose for my life in Jesus name!
May God bless you whether it is your prayers or financial support- I am truly grateful, humbled and blessed to even be considered to be His hands and feet and I pray that this will be the first of many!
From Autumn:
Since I was a little girl, I always had this deep, indescribable feeling on the inside of me that I wasn’t made for only this part of the world—"I'm not always going to be here” was the mantra that played in my spirit before I knew how to recognise the voice of the Holy Spirit. As I got older, I was determined that I wasn’t called into ministry—I didn’t want to be a pastor, I didn’t want to speak on a stage, I was too shy, I didn’t have a testimony, and I didn’t want to be uncomfortable, so I fought it for many years. I knew Him from my head knowledge, but I didn’t have a revelation of Who He is or how He loved me. In September 2022, He led me out of the town and church I grew up in, away from my family and everything I knew, and He completely destroyed and reconstructed my life. On January 13, 2023, He revealed Himself to me; I encountered the Almighty Living God, and it set my spirit on fire for Christ. He reignited the dream I had as a little girl—of missions. I switched universities, and have now completed year 1/4 at Vanguard Bible College, where I am pursuing a Bachelor of Theology in Next Generation Ministry, still with a deep desire and passion for intercultural ministry. This is only the beginning of stepping into what He has ordained from the foundations of the world. Thank God that He knows what we need, more than we think we know what we want.
