Plane Ticket

Okay just got some new info. I need money for my plane ticket ASAP. Its $2600 and I'm already almost halfway there. If you can please PLEASE donate this weekend so I can get the money to Tyrone so we can purchase the tickets! Keep the prayers up as well! This work isn't possible if it wasn't for God and His glory.

Phil 1:2-6

What This Is

This summer I am heading to Ethiopia for a VBS. Tyrone Mynhier, a missionary at Woodland Oaks Church of Christ, has given me the opportunity to join him and 3 others to Gambella, Ethiopia on a mission trip. Mr. Mynhier has been traveling into this and other African areas for about 20 years to teach the gospel. There is currently a congregation in Gambella, (as a result of seeds planted by Mr Myhnier) of about 68 Christians. The trip will be from July 23- Aug 5. I will be teaching God and His creation at a ‘VBS’ that we will be hosting. Women and children are often not given much opportunity to hear the gospel. We are hoping to open a door to them. The children will be between first and sixth grade, however their ages will vary within each grade due to their education system. The expenses for me to make this trip will cost about $4700 which includes: Passport, Visa, required shots, air travel, housing, and food. This is my first mission on foreign soil, however, I have always strived to teach the gospel. This is not a trip that I take lightly. I am very serious and dedicated to furthering God’s truth and helping to bring as many people as possible to Christ. I wish to learn as much as I teach. I hope from this trip I will be able to develop a deeper faith and trust in God. I also hope this will be a stepping stone for future mission trips. I would deeply appreciate any prayers or financial assistance that you can give.

If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me.
