75 days to go!
This is a very exciting time for our team! In 75 days we will depart for South Africa! Many fundraising opportunities are coming up, we're getting to know each other, and we are about to purchase our plane tickets!
This week we learned that team unity is so important for this trip. We will be traveling and working long hours and are already aware of the devil's efforts to stop God's good works through us. In order to grow this unity, each team member has been assigned prayer partners so that we can lift up, encourage, and get to know one another. More tools are weekly devotion emails and meeting times.
Sunday's meeting gave us a chance to learn more about our personalities and how we mesh with the rest of the crew. Aubrey, Elise, and Mark shared their amazing testimonies. Praise God for the love that He so generously shares! It's always encouraging to hear fellow believers' stories.
Please join us for any of these upcoming fundraisers. It's a great time to meet us, hear about our trip, and fellowship with us.
Fundraising Opportunities
20% of proceeds go to our mission

March 8-9: Cupcake comes to MUSC
Does anyone have silly bands that their kids don't wear anymore? There are sweet children in Africa that would LOVE them. We are also searching for reading glasses, so our patients are able to read their Bibles. Feel free to bring these to any fundraisers or give to a team member. Also needed, simple craft supplies, pipe cleaners, and sidewalk chalk.

88 days to go!
Hello All,
First, thank you again for viewing this site and taking the time to read about our preparation for South Africa. This is a very exciting time of planning fundraisers and finding supplies. Soon we'll be able to publicize some fun events that will help raise support!
The main topic of this week's meeting was how to share our testimony. Roy Jacques gave us a very simple layout of how we can construct our story to tell others. It's important to share our life before Christ, realizing we needed Christ, when we committed our lives to Christ, and the difference Christ has made in our lives. After learning this technique for sharing our testimony, we were instructed to jot down a short version of our personal story. An amazing thing that we can praise God for is that our story is not finished. God is working in our lives everyday. We are growing in our relationship with Him as time goes by. We can look forward to a story that gets better and better because our author is LORD. For the people in Africa we hope that our stories, prayers, medical care, and interaction will show them this wonderful God that we love.
Please pray specifically for the missionaries that we will be interacting with during our mission. Also keep in mind our patients that we will help and visit with throughout the week.
“Be still, and know that I am God.
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth!”
Psalm 46:10
Here are some photos from last year's trip, to show the interaction we will have.
