Africa Mission Trip

So I just thought I would share with you all the big step my Daddy has me taking from July 31- August 13. I am going on a mission trip to Mozambique and South Africa with my friend Alanna. It is crazy how God is providing for us and supporting us! My faith has grown soooooo much! See I love to give my money away as the Lord leads. I got no problem giving a $20 here, a $50 there, maybe a $200 on occasion... see Jesus has purchased me and us all financial freedom. He will provide all our needs and give us what we need and some to accomplish His will. Of course I don't blow money I don't have...that's silly. But I tell you money is the smallest of concerns for the believer because we serve a really rich Daddy who loves to see how we will use His inheritance for His glory. So when this trip came around I kept it real with Daddy and simply told Him that Alanna and I each needed about $4,300 for this trip and that I wanted $5,000 extra to give to the ministry we are serving with. (O we are going with Global Celebrations by the way and joining with Iris Ministries for part of the time- a totally gen-you-wine crew.) Well besides the down payment I gave I asked God to give me all this money not a penny from my pocket. And in the first month He for sure got me and Alanna the first payment of $1,250 each. It was hilarious cause the payment was due on a Friday and Alanna and I prayed that Monday cause we still needed approximately $900 dollars. Well the next day we got it and some! Now for this month's May payment God is blowing me away even more! So me and Alanna already each had like $500 and then we were going to go on our first speaking engagement at another church just a city away that invited us to come. Well before we even left I received a check for $600. Then at the service God totally blew me away with this church of only about 30 people with such love and support I felt like heaven unleashed itself! The prayers and love would have been plenty but they gave each of us a $500 check as well and let us know they'd probably give more too! So in one day Daddy gave me $1,100 dollars and plus my earlier $500 I am over the payment for this month! I really do believe God will not only provide for our trip completely but will also give us the $5,000 and some!
So I have told you just how God has been with us financially, but I can't wait to see what He will show us down there and how He will use us to bless the poor, love on the orphans, witness on the streets and in garbage dumps, and share His happy gospel with those beautiful people! I only wander who will be blessed more- me or them. I always say my preschoolers are my best teachers... I wander what these precious African children will teach me? God bless! :)
FYI the trip we're going on is called Soul Safari and I encourage you to check out these ministries we're going with- they're amazing.http://www.globalcelebration.com/ and http://irismin.org/
