Shannon is Going to Africa!

I wanted all of my friends and family to know that God has called me to serve in Africa this summer! I am so excited about this calling and all God is going to do in and around me. I was introduced to Family Legacy Camp Life which helps to organize weekly summer camps for orphans in Zambia. You can read mo...re about Camp LIFE at http://www.legacymissions.org/camp-life/. I will be gone a total of 10 days from June 3-June 13. I am asking everyone that is willing to join me in praying over this opportunity. I will be updating my blog with news about Africa periodically so that everyone interested can keep up with my progress. My first post about Africa will be the background story of my calling and passion for Africa...stay tuned, coming soon. :)

A few specific prayer requests:
*That God would prepare me for what He has planned next.
*That God would already be working in the lives of the orphans, staff, translators and volunteers that will be involved in Camp LIFE.
*That God would provide financially to get me to Zambia. The total trip of the cost is $4300. I know I do not have this money, but I am so excited to see how God blows me away with His provisions for this seemingly huge sum of money. It puts me at ease to know that God is much bigger than $4300!

I have 10 business days to send in my $1000 deposit. That means the deposit money is due Friday, February 5. The rest of the money is due by April 2.
