Uganda.
What an
amazing opportunity the Lord has called me into for this upcoming summer.
Africa has been on my heart for several years now. Jesus planted a seed in my
heart while I was still in High School. I have waited patiently for him to open
the door and I tell you with genuine joy that he has.
This
summer I will be an intern for Show Mercy International in Uganda, Africa. Being
an intern will encompass several different things. Show Mercy International’s mission is
to mobilize, inspire and empower individuals all over the
world to live life on purpose
while reaching out in love. They do this by providing homes and schooling for orphaned,
abandoned children, educating villages about
clean water, reaching out to villages and providing medical
care. As an intern I will get to take part in all of these things, as well as
help support the short term mission teams that come in through out the summer.
Recently
Show Mercy built a medical clinic for the villages that surround the Field of
Dreams (the missionary base). The clinic will serve the people, and help save
hundreds of lives from curable sicknesses. As an intern I will get to help
serve here. I am so excited to gain experience in the medical field, while in the
midst of my pursuit to become a doctor and serve the Lord.
As
I embark on this adventure that the Lord is taking me on, I would like to ask
you to consider supporting me. First and foremost, I would ask that you would
support me with your prayers. Please pray that the Lord would be preparing me
for whatever he has for me in Uganda. Secondly, as you can imagine, an
internship in Uganda involves considerable expenses. I would like
to ask you to prayerfully consider
sponsoring me financially. The internship will cost me $2,334 plus airfare,
vaccinations, travelers insurance, a visa, and general transportation costs
once I get to Uganda, an estimated total expense of approximately
$6000. Any
amount will help and is much appreciated. You can give any tax-deductible
amount online through Show Mercy at the link below. You can also send a check
to me at the address below for my trip.
