Mission Work in Chad, Africa

Hi, my name is Halle Eastling. In mid-2023, God placed a call on my heart to visit Chad, Africa. I had no idea what this would mean, who I would stay with, or what I would do, but I knew that God had a plan and vision for me. Slowly and with lots of waiting, praying, and trusting, God began revealing his plan to me. I found the family I would stay with, the hospital and church I would work in and with, and a timeline that would work for my school schedule. Pieces just kept falling into place, leaving me more and more in awe of my Savior each time.

I began preparing by reaching out to my pastor, youth group leader, and other missionaries to give me advice and tips on how to best prepare for my time in Chad. I did monthly video calls with the family I will be staying with to set an itinerary and develop expectations. Most importantly, I continued to abide in the Word and prayer, and remained connected to my church community to ensure that I was still being fed.

With my trip planned for the month of June, I am hoping to raise $5,000 to cover my personal plane ticket, other travel expenses (passport and visa), and medical travel insurance. I will also be reimbursing my host family for the food they provide me with and the resources they use on me. Any extra money I receive will be donated to help the local hospital, the local school, the local language center, and/or the International Christian Fellowship of N'Djamena Church. If you are interested in the specific names of the organizations, please reach out to me and I will provide more detail.

While in Chad, I will be helping deliver babies in the local hospital, teaching English classes at the local school, and working with kids with special needs at a care center. If you are interested in contacting me for further information or to receive updates on my trip, feel free to email me. Thank you for your interest and support in where God has called me, whether in prayers or finances!
