Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen. Ephesians 3:20-21

Hey friends! I am thankful that the Lord has led you to this page to read a little about what He is doing in my life. I am constantly humbled and left in awe at our Father`s incredible goodness and faithfulness.

Two years ago I had the joy of serving in a small African country called Swaziland. I quickly fell in love with the beautiful people there and the culture they live in. In the midst of poverty, disease, and brokenness, the genuine love and joy displayed by the people there was life changing. Ever since I came home from Swaziland, I have wanted to go back to Africa. I have prayed for the Lord to open and close doors and to lead where He wills, and this is where the Sozo internship comes in.

I am so excited to join in the Lord`s work in Uganda through the 2016 Sozo summer internship. I am expectant for how He has handpicked this team of interns to play a small part in the Kingdom work that is taking place in Uganda. We will be spending over two months in Uganda, and much of our ministry will be with orphaned and neglected children. We will also help the Ugandan staff at the Sozo homes, disciple the Sozo children, build relationships with the community, and prayerfully spread the Gospel in all we do. We are planning on leaving at the end of May and will return at the beginning of August.

I invite you to come along side of me throughout this journey. Above all I am asking for partners in prayer. Please be praying for the intern team and me as we prepare for this incredible summer. Pray not only for our hearts, but also that each person we come in contact with while on this journey will encounter the saving grace of Jesus. I trust that the Lord will go before us and prepare the field for us. Please pray that the Father is glorified through all of this and that more people come to know Him!

I also ask that you prayerfully consider supporting financially. I fully trust that where the Lord leads, He provides! If you feel led to donate, know that every amount, no matter how small, is greatly appreciated and will be used for the Lord`s work.

Donations can be made either online on this page [there is a small fee for online transactions], or by check. Checks with my name in the memo line can be made out to Sozo Children and mailed directly to the Sozo office at 4 41st Street South, Birmingham AL 35222, or checks can be mailed directly to me at 2310 Shadywood Drive, Tupelo MS 38801. All donations are also completely tax-deductible!

I am SO pumped to go on this trip. Through faith, I know that the Lord had this planned before the beginning of time and that He will faithfully provide in every way. Thank you for taking the time to read this and for being apart of this journey. May He receive all of the glory!

With love,

Joy
