About this Fundraiser

I want to begin with a story. This story is about a seven-year-old girl who dreamed of one day going to South Africa. The little girl’s mother went on a trip for two weeks to Johannesburg to see her brother and sister-in-law who were missionaries there at the time. When she came back, her mother showed the little girl pictures of all the children and landscapes and animals. The little girl listened to stories of her mother’s incredible experience in South Africa and she was filled with wonder and compassion. From this moment on, the spirit of adventure was instilled in the little girl’s heart and she decided that she wanted to go to South Africa too.

My name is Jesse Bingham and I was that little girl. This October all of my prayers were answered when I went on a trip to Sweetwaters, South Africa with a non-profit organization called Restoration Hope. While there, I helped local mentors put on a Vacation Bible School (or as they called it - Holiday Club) for children in the Sweetwaters region while they were on break from school. God taught me so much during my time spent there. It wasn't until I came back to the states that I realized I have a passion for orphan ministry. I desire to see the chains of despair and hopelessness broken in the community of Sweetwaters. I long to see change; however, I know that only true change comes from the Father. Only he can redeem, restore, and revive. The Lord has given me an opportunity to serve in South Africa this summer and you can help me get there. By donating to this fund, you can help me fulfill my purpose for this summer.
