While in South Africa and Uganda next May, our team will be experiencing "pure and undefiled religion" by showing the love of Christ to women, orphans, and refugees from all walks of life. I am more than excited about what the Lord is going to do in and through each of us as we continue on this journey of trust. After all, the preparation for the trip can be the hardest part! Fundraising isn't easy, especially in this economy. But the Lord reminded me of His provision and faithfulness once again last night. I was looking through my folder from my trip to Uganda last year, and found this.
You see, Matt called me the second week of January and told me about his upcoming trip to Uganda. I made the decision to follow the Lord's call on January 13, and as you can see, my trip was paid for by February 25! It only took one month for the Lord to prompt people to give. As I was looking through my folder at the list of donors, I couldn't stop smiling. God is so good.
But God never works the same way twice. This time, I don't have to raise the money in less than three months. Thankfully I've got a little more time. But I am already seeing people step up and give sacrificially, and I am eternally grateful for their sacrifice.
That being said, as a fundraiser for our upcoming trip to South Africa, we are selling t-shirts!
You have the choice of crew neck ($15) or v-neck ($16). See the pictures below for more information! Please email me at hayleyc@sherwoodbaptist.net with your order!

"The truth is that in virtually every book in the Bible, God is screaming, begging, pleading, urging us to love mercy and justice, to feed the poor and the orphaned, to care for the last & least. It will not be enough to stand before Jesus one day and say, 'Oh, were You serious about that?'" - Jen Hatmaker, "Interrupted"
