Dear Family & Friends,
I have found myself blessed again, having another opportunity to visit the place that stole my heart last summer: Africa! This summer we're moving a little north, headed to Harare, Zimbabwe. I am going with my friend, Brenna, and her mom, Bonney Deuschle.
We are going to visit Brenna's uncle, Tom Deuschle, and his family – who live and work in Zimbabwe - to help out at their church & ministry, Celebration Ministries. We will also get to work with kids in orphanages, which was one of my favorite parts of the South Africa trip last July. We may also get to provide medical relief in a nearby hospital. Working with children, in general, is my passion so I am beyond excited to go love on these kids in need! As it is sounding right now through our email contact with Mr. Deuschle's assistant, they are making many plans to keep us three very busy & productive from the moment we land to the hour we take off at the end of the month.
This will be a wonderful, once-in-a-lifetime, opportunity for Brenna & me to see numerous new corners of the world and we are both pumped to leave Colorado tomorrow, on June 1st! We will be gone until July 6, 2011. I hope you will conider helping sponsor me via prayer. Please pray that God will prepare the hearts of everyone we get to minister to on our trip. Please pray for God to break our own hearts & provide us with strong stamina and a sense of urgency so we do not hold back from serving Him, or His people. In addition, we ask for you to keep our safety & health in your prayers. Praise be to God how many donations we've been given of lightly used toys and art supplies for the kids in the orphanage(s) we'll visit!
Thank you for your prayers over this trip. Brenna and I believe without a doubt that God is going to change us while we are serving for His glory in Zimbabwe!
Many thanks,
Elizabeth Wolz
