A Long Over-Due Update

It’s been a few months since I have let you guys know what’s going on with me and my missions trip to Uganda. So without further ado, here’s some of the details you may or may not be wanting!

1. I am no longer traveling to Uganda in December (obviously…) but instead going in June, the 3-14,  with the same group of people. Our trip conflicted with another ministry over there and it has been rescheduled for June. This is a great blessing in the fact that I have more time to get everything paid off and get all the materials I need for the trip!

2. I currently have several fundraisers in the works. I am working on setting up a fundraiser with Blue Rock Barbeque, as well as booking a room at my church to do a fundraising party with snacks and drinks, raffles, auctions, and more! (If you would like to donate a prize for the raffle or auction, please contact me via Facebook or email me at vampiressjade@hotmail.com ) I am also collecting recyclables!

General Updates:

Donations: I realized a few weeks ago that some people like to know all the specifics of what/where their money is going to. While I can’t give all those details to the people that want them, I can give them details on other things. So with that in mind, I have created a list of a few items that I need for my trip that you can pick from and purchase if you wish. If an item has a line through it, that item has already been taken care of.

• Passport
• Reusable water bottle with a filter in it. (Hard plastic, not soft squeeze)
• Digital camera, preferably capable of both picture and video.
• Transportation to Seattle, WA on June 1st
• Ugandan Visa
• $$$ for meals on layovers

Your continued prayer support is also quite welcome and appreciated!

Thank you for taking this journey with me.

First Steps to Success…and change.

Hello all! I realize that it has been far too long since I posted something, and I apologize for that. I have been off in a world of trying to organize my mind so that I can get through my plans.

 

Most recently in my whirlwind, I just returned home a few days ago from Washington D.C., where I was providing child care for a few parents who were attending First Steps To Success, an amazing event lead by the phenomenal and wonderful Dani Johnson. Even though I was not able to attend the seminar, I was able to attend the Spiritual Equipping on Saturday night, and oh my goodness. It was incredible. I sincerely hope you will click on the link I provided and watch it, because it is pretty much life changing. So many lives were changed this past weekend and it makes my heart joyful! God is opening so many doors not only for me, but for my family and friends as well. In less than a year my life has done a huge 180. I used to hate life because I had no will to live and no vision or purpose. Do you want a total and radical change, and an unbridled joy for life? Then go plug into Dani’s trainings right this minute. No delays. It’s time for a change my friend.

 

Uganda update: I am still working on raising the funding for my trip. I have currently raised $445 in support. God has revealed some stuff that has been hindering me and I am dealing with those obstacles so that I can gather the funds for my trip to Uganda. I am so excited to get nearer and nearer to the departure date. I thank you for any and all support given thus far, and given in the future!

If you have any questions or comments, or just would like to talk, go ahead and get in touch with me 🙂 Have a blessed day!

How Important Are Children?

This video was played during one of the morning meetings when I served in VBS (Vacation Bible School) at my church a few weeks ago, and it moved me very deeply. I wanted to share this video because children are a large part of WHY I am in the missions field. God has given me a heart for serving them.
