Dear All:
God never ceases to amaze me… most of you know that earlier this year thanks to a wonderful volunteer submitting our names that Rob and I get to go to Florida and Disney… well what you may not know is that just 30 days earlier I had told a group that I was teaching that I did not know how I was going to do it but I would go to Florida and Disney this year because I had never been and really wanted to go… and then all of a sudden we win a trip and I get to go… well the same thing kind of thing happened this week but not really…
I heard on the radio an ad for a trip to Israel and come join us its a trip of a life time…(you probably have heard the commercial I am talking about.. it is a trip every year with a group and its a fun tour) Well I remember just this past week saying to God…why would I want to go on a trip to Israel to look at the sites…when I walk right here with you…yeah you might see where this is going…
Well today…I was talking to a Pastors wife about their involvement in the city with AtG, then we got to talking about a trip she had taken to Nazareth last year and I asked if she was ready to move yet and she stated no but we are going back…and jokingly I said by the way I now have a passport and the 180 curriculum is printed and will travel… then she said you know….a girl just backed out and my contact has been talking to me about the women… she says pray about it and let me know…
I left her a short while later and called Rob… his immediate response was you are going right… (well after he said how mad he was because he knew he could not go).
As I start to process this I start laughing because not a week ago I told God I was not going to Israel to go on a trip to see all these things…so Never tell God what you are NOT going to do…is the moral of that story.
I have never been out of the country except to Mexico and those were fun trips. I have never been on a Mission trip except for the daily one that I live every day with the moms and children that we serve here. So with that I am very excited to see what God has planned in this very non Christian country as the 180 curriculum is very Christian.
I would leave with the group on August 20th and return on August 28th I would train/teach on August 23rd (evening) 24th (afternoon) 25th and 26th (all day)
So as you can imagine I am very excited and humbled to be asked to go and do this over in another country and of all countries… Jesus’s Nazareth.
So if you would pray for me and my family as we start this journey.
I need to raise $3000 if you would like to make a donation you can make checks payable to AtG and in the memo 180 Nazareth. You can mail them to:
PO Box 809 Franklin TN 37065
Also AtG has a paypal donate now button on the website if you would like to donate on line (www.atghope.org)
I really feel called to do this and am trusting God that He will raise the monies for me to go. If you can’t give I understand but I would covet your prayers as I know how mad Satan gets here in America when the women we work with start walking right with God…
Thanks for loving me well.
