"You make me brave"
This lyric has played in my head and been engraved on my heart since last year. God does indeed make me brave. He gives me the courage to jump into new things and fearlessly follow his calling. He is calling me out beyond the shore once more. Africa.
I now have the opportunity to cross another ocean and make my way to Zimbabwe from July 7-19. I have been invited to travel with Global Passion Ministries and work the the Graham family who run an orphanage and aim to reach the forgotten and abandoned children of Zimbabwe.
Zimbabwe is located in southern Africa and borders South Africa, Mozambique, Botswana, and Zambia. Because it is located below the equator, seasons are reversed. Summer is from October to April and winter is from May to September.
One of the largest international issues in Zimbabwe is human trafficking, and the government is making no effort to stop the exploitation. They are also currently facing one of the biggest AIDS epidemics in the world, and they have a higher number of orphans in proportion to its population compared to the rest of the world.
Throughout my time in Africa, I will be helping teach children in the local school about Jesus, give any support needed in the orphanage, and love on some awesome kids. God is going to do amazing things in Zimbabwe, and I can’t wait to see them happen. I would love for you to partner with me and help change the lives of children in Africa.
The first way you can partner with me is in prayer. Pray for safety, strength, courage, and for lives to be changer. The next way you can partner with me is financially. I need to raise $2,900, and there are a few ways to do help. You can follow the first link below to make an online contribution, or follow the second link to purchase a t-shirt designed by myself where all the proceeds go towards my journey.
Much love + blessings,
Becky
