Greetings in Christ Jesus!
At this time next month I will be in Sierra Leone for six weeks! I would like to take this opportunity to share with you about this trip and reason for my going.
In 2008, I participated on a water filtration project in Benin, Africa. I had visited a hospital there where patients lay outside buildings waiting for help but usually waiting to die. It is a sad reality many hospitals in developing countries are for the purposes of dying and not treating. Furthermore, the cultures associate the diseases and abnormalities to the persons as evil spirits and outcast them from their communities. Since then there has been a desire in my heart to partake on a medical missions trip specifically in the medical imaging profession.
The following three years God taught me to wait patiently and prayerfully seeking opportunities. This fall, the door is open for me to serve the people in Freetown, Sierra Leone with Mercy Ships! I will be serving as an x-ray technologist on the Africa Mercy, a hospital ship, to provide free medical care to those who need it most. If you have five minutes, please watch this video. http://www.youtube.com/
It is my hope that you will partner with me and send me on this trip to help these people, whether it is financially and/or prayerfully. My minimum fundraising goal is $3300 CAD but I hope to raise as much as possible as the extra money will go towards medical projects and costs on the ship. Tax deductible donations can be made at http://mercyships.

God's blessings,
