My Heart is Already There…

Posted: July 16th, 2009 | 11 Comments »

I am hopefully going to Uganda/Africa this January to photograph a mission trip. My heart is overwhelmed. I am so undeserving. I know that God will provide the means and grace to do it! I know on my own I could never do it.

Please begin to pray with me as I prepare over the next few months for this unbelievable trip.

Part of me is still in shock! I am going to Africa. To work & take photographs of a nation in so much need. I pray that my camera can find beauty and grace. And that I walk away never the same again. The people are so beautiful. The child are so beautiful. I can’t wait.

My heart is already there…

    WOW. How awesome. I joke with Dave that I dream in Africa. I have sent + prayed so many people there, and not been yet myself.

    Which country/countries will you be working in? Dave has been to South Africa, Malawi and Madagascar…I have always dreamed of being in the Egypt/Sudan/Ethiopia regions…

    Bless you. as you prepare, please make any needs you have known. We would love to help.
