getting serious now!!!!!

Hey people!!! I want to let you know that Refuge, Elevate, the Sports team
at HPC, and Go Global are going to SWAZILAND this summer. And I get to be
part of the team!!!!!!!!

I am honored to have been chosen to go to Swaziland! I love Africa. (I've
been to Zimbabwe twice. Once when I was nine and then again the following
year.) My experiences there molded my life and the way I think. Missions
has been bred in me. And I've got jitters about being able to go to Africa
again, to let God open my eyes wider and refresh the vision in my heart.

When our team gets there, we'll be doing some day camps with kids. We'll
be buliding a well so the people in the community can have clean water.
We'll also be doing a lot of work on the new HPC Swaziland campus!

AND...Throughout the whole trip, we'll get to hang out with the lovely
Rodgers family (my cousins! and aunt and uncle!), and also with the
Rehmeyers (my best friend is Swaziland is a Rehmeyer! GABBY) ,Patrick
Conti, and (the new missionary lady...) NATALIE ASHY SPERA!! Wooohooo!
Along with so many others... It's going to be amazing to be able to hang
out with them and serve them-and um...LEARN from them. These people are
truly the inspiration of mission-minded people. They're the ones on the
front lines. And we get to come support them in the work they're already
doing.

God has had so much favor on Children's Cup and HPC and the work we're
doing in Africa! So many doors have been opened to us. What a HUGE thing
we get to be a part of. So many lives, so many stories we get to reach
into. This is one of the most hurting places in the world... and we get to
be part of building up "healing places" there. It's so humbling to be in
the mix of something this big!

This trip is going to be amazing! I know it! Our team is HUGE! We have
probably almost 40 people signed up to go so far. And my dad is heading it
up! (Be praying for him big time! :) The team, like I said, is a mixture
of Refuge, Elevate, Sports team, and Go Global. All in one. It's going to
be big, and crazy...but so AWESOME! Blending generations and focuses into
one team...God's definitely gonna do something amazing with this trip.

Africa has endless needs. But God has endless love! And He can do endless
things through His people.

IT'S SO EXCITING!!!!!!!

So hey, we need you to get yo pray on!!!! BIG TIME!!! We need protection,
wisdom, unity, health, open eyes, open hearts, open ears, and humility!...


And if you can...gather up some green stuff and send it our way. That
would be spectacular!! I have $2,100 due on April 15th and then another
$1,675 due on June 13th. So do the rest of our 40 team members!!!! Green
is such a beautiful color. So spread it around. :)

Thank you all so very much for reading. You're amazing.

Thanks for being a part of reaching Africa!
