Mission trip to Kenya

Dear Friends and Family,

Some of you already know that I am going on a mission trip to Kenya this July.  Mission work is something I have always wanted to do since high school.  I was never able to due to different reasons but I now know that I was not ready and God was not calling me to do so until now.  The last two years God has been speaking to my heart and the passion for mission work has increased greatly.  I tried to come up with excuses for not going.  It was when I started a bible study on Jonah with a great group of faithful women, that I realized that this was my Nineveh!  God wanted me to go to Kenya to teach these children about Him and show them the love they might not receive from others.  My heart is so full these days and I know that this is what He is calling me to do.

In order to go on this mission trip, I will need to raise money.  The cost of the trip will be $3,650.  We will be flying to Kenya on July 1, 2013 and will return July 14, 2013.  If you want to learn more about it or the ministry, please visit www.heartofhebride.org.

 

If you feel you are in a position to support me financially, know that the bulk of this amount ($2,200) is for my airfare and is due by April 1, 2013.  The remainder of the support is due May 31, 2013.  I would like your prayer support above all else as I prepare for the trip and while I am abroad.  

 

Here are some specific ways you can pray for the team and me:

            That we all will remain healthy until we travel and during our visit there

            For safe travel and safety while in Kenya

            That our hearts will be open and allow God to use us

Checks should be made out to Heart of the Bride Ministries accompanied by a note designating the check to Catherine Chandonait for Kenya STM Mission Trip. You may also go to www.heartofthebride.org/donate-missiontrips to donate.  Here you will use my name as the team member and choose Kenya STM Mission Trip.  This must be done so that I receive the donation toward my trip.  All financial donations are tax deductible and you will receive a donation statement at the end of the year.

 

Thank you for your love and support in Christ,

 

Catherine Chandonait
