So my newsletter is done and I am sending them out this week. Most of the information in it has been posted to this blog. There are two sections that have not been posted on here, so here they are:
2 Month Internship with Agape Children’s Ministry
I have been given the amazing opportunity to spend two months in Kisumu, Kenya. I will be interning with Agape Children’s Ministry (for a full explanation of Agape please read the next page). I learned about Agape while at a conference put on by the Christian Alliance for Orphans. As I talked with the ladies at Agape’s booth and heard them explain the work they were doing, I realized this ministry is doing everything I want to do someday. I filled out an application, got some information and began praying. When I got back to Liberty University this past fall, I made sure that this could count for my psychology internship because in order to graduate May 2013 it must be completed. I talked to my professor and she said that it would meet the requirements. I then contacted Agape and tried to get the process moving quickly, so I could have time to raise support and get the internship squared away between Liberty and Agape. I did a Skype interview with the director in Kenya and he explained some of the day-to-day ministry in Kenya. He also gave me a picture of some of the things I would be able to be involved in. We talked about what dates would be best and some other logistical things. After that interview, I was more excited than ever to go to Kenya and serve with this ministry. It was a couple weeks later I received the official acceptance letter.
If you feel God leading you to partner with me financially in this ministry, here is some important information.
There are two ways to give. You can either send a check to Agape, with my name in the subject line, and including a printed and filled out form (see below) or you can give with PayPal on the Agape website. There will be a spot to put the reason for the gift and you can put my name there. Agape is a non-profit ministry and you will receive a tax-deductible receipt from them. You may also send your gift to me directly but you will not receive a tax-deductible gift receipt.
Lastly, if nay one would like me to email you a copy of the whole newsletter or would like to receive any future newsletters via email, please let me know.
