About this Fundraiser

ASSELA, ETHIOPIA | July 17 - 26, 2015

Friends, family, and loved ones - welcome to my Ethiopia fundraising page!

Thank you for taking the time to check out my story.  I'd love to tell you more about the trip, why I'm going, and why I hope you'll support this opportunity.

THE TRIP
God has opened the door for me to go on a short-term discipleship trip to Ethiopia with e3 Partners Ministry and Watermark Community Church in July, 2015.  This is the first trip of its kind for me, and I am very excited for what lies ahead! We will team up with Ethiopian Christians as we do children’s/VBS & men’s & women’s outreach.  The purpose of the trip is to build relationships and share Christ with Ethiopians who have never heard the name of Jesus, and help fulfill e3 Ethiopia’s vision of planting churches within the unreached peoples of the Arsi Oromo. 

THE MISSION
You might be wondering why I'm interested in going on this trip.  In a few words, it's because God's amazing grace has given me a desire to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with others.  As the old hymn goes, "I once was lost, but now am found, was blind, but now I see," and I want others to experience the same hope, joy, and love in Christ that I have.

I haven't always walked with the Lord.  To be honest, much of my life was spent running in the opposite direction.  I tried seeking satisfaction in the ways of the world, and ended up depressed and without direction.  That's when I learned that God loved me (and you!) so much that he sent His son to die for us (John 3:16), that we might be saved by faith (Ephesians 2:8-9), and that nothing we've done can separate us from His love (Romans 8:38-39).

So my mission is this: make sure my brothers and sisters abroad know what God has done for all of us.  It is my prayer that this leads to transformed lives and redeemed communities.

THE OPPORTUNITY
Your help is needed! This is a team project, and you are needed on the team. First, we need your prayers for the spiritual battles ahead. Second, your help is needed to cover part of the cost for this trip.

The total trip cost is $3,950.  I have set a personal goal of raising $2,500 of the total cost.  These funds go toward transportation, food, lodging, translators, and supplies.  Would you prayerfully consider investing in this project?  Much of this amount is due March 1st.    

If you would like to join me in this, there are two tax-deductible ways to do so.  The simplest way to donate is by clicking "Donate to this fundraiser" up above.  Alternatively, you can send a check (please include 6EZ7WQQRZ in the memo line) to the address below:

Thank you for being an influential part of my life, as well as the lives of others around the world!  If you have any questions or would like to know more about the trip, please let me know.

Sincerely,

Samuel Joseph Scott


For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16

For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. Ephesians 2:8-9

For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:38-39
