Through last year, as I prepped for our trip to Honduras, I thought that in 2015 I would take a break. Maybe take a trip to the beach instead? Enjoy a few months of not fundraising, perhaps? Alas, I am not in control of these things and it seems the Manuelito Project is firmly in our hearts, and the good Lord has different plans for me & they don't involve the beach!
So this summer, we will join our church's team & head once again to the beautiful children at the project, to serve them, love them and be blessed by them. Excited? Yes I am, and I am also so anxious about the coming months. Can we raise this kind of money for the 3rd year in a row? I sure hope so. Our return visit last year showed me how much the kids benefit from the missions - not just having food and a shelter, but an education, and they grow spiritually and emotionally. It is empowering to them, rather than enabling. And at the same time it fills our souls with joy and a firmer faith as we see the work that God is doing in their lives.
I hope you can support us through your prayers over the coming months!
