Spring Ethiopia Trip 2013/Honoring Dr. King

The details.

I've had many email for details in regards to the trip and I'm working on those this week.

As with every trip I can plan and plan but ultimately God writes the details and I LOVE that.  His plans are far better then mine could ever be.

This past week I sat across from a newish friend who shared with me the obvious reality that God wants her on this trip.  I love hearing about those moments and I love that God has been confirming in her heart that she's supposed to go.

The details are still coming together, what I know is that this is not a "mission trip" of sorts but an advocacy trip.  You'll be introduced to ministries that I believe in personally and that have shown to be tried and true.  They have certain things that I believe are important and they have a story to share.  A story that you can be involved in, share with your friends, and make a difference in the lives of women/children, orphans/widows, families/the future.

I'll list the ministries soon, still finalizing a few things.  The biggest question is always money.  I work VERY hard to keep costs down and I've spent the last week crunching numbers.  

I'm pleased to announce that this trip will be 10 days/8 nights

I'll leave you with a picture quote I did in honor of Martin Luther King Jr.  I am blessed beyond measure and thankful for that dream.  Grateful to a sovereign King Jesus that I get to mother these precious lives.
