BIG NEWS! I will be going on a mission trip to Albania with Aaron and Teri Bagwell's Expect Hope Ministry. I'm so excited about helping others, and I am reaching out to you because you have been a part of my journey. I started a fundraiser on Pure Charity to raise the funding that I need for the mission. I have a goal of $3500.00 that will go towards the cost of the mission trip.
In every life, there are moments that feel hopeless. For me, that moment came when I lost my son after a lifelong battle with illnesses. Words can scarcely begin to explain the emptiness I felt when my whole reason for existence was suddenly just gone, leaving me left to try and make sense of my world. What I wanted to do was give up and just hide away from the world and the pain and stay that way forever. I questioned my faith when my world fell apart, but it was God who kept me alive when I was sure the pain was going to kill me, and it was God who showed me that the only way to make a change in the world was to be the change. I found hope where there seemed to be none, and I want to go to on the mission field in Albania to help others to find it too.
The love and faith in my heart is overflowing and bursting to be shared with the people of Albania. I want to bring homes to orphans, food to the hungry, and the word of God for those who are lost and looking for a purpose in their lives, like I was. I want my son to be able to smile down on me and be proud that I was able to turn my grief into a drive to bring hope and love to those who need it the most.
On this trip, we will be doing evangelism with individuals of all ages and the trip will include opportunities for us to provide medical camps, food outreach, hospital and prison ministry as well as share in the grand re-opening of a local orphanage.
Albania is one of the poorest countries in Europe; however, the opportunities for us to bring them Hope are unlimited. Expect Hope’s mission is to be able to bring hope to orphans, children and those less fortunate in the world through food, clothing, housing, medicine, education and empowerment
I am ready to be the change that the people of Thumane, Albania need. And you can help them too, by sponsoring me financially, allowing me to go with Expect Hope where I can make a real difference in the lives of adults and children alike in need of restoration and hope. With your financial contribution, you’ll change many lives, including mine.
Much Love,
J~
