To Africa or Not to Africa: that is the question.

Wow. God is moving in my life and it is an absolutely amazing feeling.  While spending time with God, I asked Him to start to reveal His heart for me.  That's when I got a picture of my head and it zoomed in to my brain to show photographs of African children and then it panned out to show my heart.  With every beat of my heart, another photo of African children would emerge.

Africa?
Children?
Maybe.

I've really been asking about work with children lately so that was huge confirmation.  I've always known that I have a gift for working with children but God has been reminding me continuously lately in intercession, prayer and quiet time with Him.  Furthermore, every time we do intercession in a group, we get something about Africa and the youth there.

Sign?
Possibly.

So I searched for children's ministries in Africa and the first one to pop up on the page was:

anotherhope.org

Its a Christian based orphanage that works with HIV/AIDS children in Uganda.  The volunteers coordinate programs including normal school subjects, art, dance, sports and health classes.  The orphanage has a school for the orphans as well as for children in the community whose parents can't afford to send them to school.  The cost of living as a volunteer there is EXTREMELY cheap.. they need help like crazy.

So I'm going to be praying a LOT about it.  If you would please support me in prayer, it would be greatly appreciated.

I love you all and miss you lots.

    Hi Tori!
    You know Dad and I will support anything that God directs you to do, but know that God still has plans for you there in Boston and on your outreach trip. Sometimes we jump too fast and think that we've totally figured out God's plan. So be patient while you are at DTS and allow God to continue to talk to you and unfold what he has in store for you. We'll continue to pray for you as you seek His will. Love you and miss you oodles! Mom
