I’m headed back to Africa! On August 30th
I’ll be flying to South Africa to work as an Orphan &Vulnerable Children
(OVC) Project Support Specialist for a year with Thembalethu Care Organization
through Peace Corps Response. Themablethu ( which means hope) is a Christian
organization responding to the effects of HIV/AIDS & poverty by sharing
God’s love holistically with the sick, supporting OVCs, and empowering the
Amangwe community, in KwaZulu-Natal
Province.
I’m excited for this upcoming adventure and the ways the
Lord will work over this next year.
Proverbs 3:5-6 says, “Trust in the LORD
with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your
ways acknowledge Him, and He will make straight your paths.”
I’d appreciate prayer for:
- Daily opportunities to share Christ’s love with those around me
- Working with a local youth group and after school program
- Planning a summer camp for 35 HIV positive children
- Providing training to local staff
