Joyful children at Rafiki Village Malawi

The next time you get a newsletter from me I will be situated in the Rafiki Village in Malawi. I have been eagerly anticipating my move to Africa. My departure date is currently set for September 15.

I am so excited to finally be going to the place I have been praying, thinking, and talking about for the better part of a year. My heart is accelerating with excitement but also a little anxiety. Actually, there is a lot of anxiety, but that is just me, as always, dreading the unknown. I know that the Lord is with me and that this is the desire of my heart that He is granting to me. I just wish I was already there and acclimated to my new home.

The Rafiki Foundation is designed to give the child the same support as a child reared in a family with parents. In my first newsletter, I mentioned that I felt like I was preparing to meet my cousins. Putting these desires together, I am asking you to pray that I will be able to establish familial and spiritual relationships. As the ChildCare Administrator (CCA), I will be responsible for the health and well-being of the children living in the cottages as well as the Rafiki Mothers taking care of them. I want to establish the same type of relationships with them that I have with my daughter and her daughters.

Thank you for all your prayers and support. Because of you I am able to begin this missionary journey, but I am only about 23% funded. The Lord has brought me this far so I know He will equip me one step at a time. If you feel the Holy Spirit tugging at your heart to donate, please join my campaign. My expenses are approximately $4000 a month. Therefore, I started a campaign in which I am asking 400 people to pledge $10.30 a month to cover my expenses for the next one, two, or three years. Will you join my campaign by giving a recurring donation or a one-time gift?
