Support

In a few of these blogs we have written about support. It occurred to us that maybe it would be a good idea to write about this. As one would expect for us to go to Africa this summer it will cost some major money- approximately $11,000. This includes airfare, room and board, meals, and medical expenses. Not included in this cost are other expenses that will be accrued while on the internship and in preparation for the trip. This is a large amount of money and so we have to raise the money to go. We trust God to provide this money through family, friends, co-workers, churches, even strangers.

The great thing about raising support for us is that we get to watch God in action. He uses the people that we care about to bless us richly. The great thing for those who support us is that they are a part of what we are doing in Africa. Even though they may not be physically in Africa with us they are a vital part of what we will be doing this summer. This is true for those who support us financially and also for those who support us in prayer. When you pray for us or send a donation you are not giving to us, but you are contributing to God’s Kingdom. That is a pretty cool thing. This summer when you read about things that are happening in Kenya and see pictures of who we are meeting and what we are doing, please know you are just as much a part of it as we are.

If you are reading this and you didn’t get a letter and you would like to be a part of this whether it be financially or most importantly prayer (or both) please shoot us an email at
