And He provides!!!
Just to let you know He is amazing! Yesterday all of my finances needed to book the flights to Tanzania and India came in. Most of the team's flights have been booked making it all the more real that I am leaving Australia in less than four weeks for Africa! Amazing! The fight isn't over. The next deadline is September 8th and I am needing $4,100! Here we go...

Help!
I need your help! I have about 24 hours left to make this happen... I am in need of $2550 to be able to purchase my flights to Africa and India otherwise the price of the flights goes up $400! September 8th is the deadline for the rest of my finances ($4,350) to come through and I have no idea how this is all going to work out, but He does. So I am asking for your help. If you would like to make an investment into the lives of women and children in Tanzania and in India please donate to this cause! They need your help!

Last week update...
Sorry to all of those who have come here expecting to read something new and exciting in the last several weeks and have nothing new to read. I have been doing a terrible job at keeping you updated.
This last week was an incredible week of lectures. We have Dr. Martin Panter here speaking on Global Health Issues and it was really a wonderful time learning and also relearning about some major issues affecting people globally. We covered Global health trends, STDS/AIDS, Malaria, Aspects of Community Development, and Justice and Empowerment issues. He brought a perspective that I greatly appreciated and personally he brought a lot of healing to my life in ways that I cannot even begin to explain.
I have been having an amazing time here. I often miss home, family and friends, but I cannot abandon my call to be here. Not now. Not when the need outside the borders of the United States are so great. I have been set apart with 15 other young women to help assist the little ones into this world and be there as a physical, spiritual, and emotional support to the mothers who at many times wish they were not having to be on the delivery table at all. For many of these women, there is no beauty in childbirth. I hope to be able to show them the beauty in it all through the love of G*d.
From the many stories I have already heard I have at times become anxious for the things that I am going to witness. I often pray that He would begin to protect my heart for the things that bring me heartache, but that He would open my eyes to the things that cannot continue to go unseen. May He give me the strength to face injustice the way He calls me to face injustice and may he give me the courage to fight for the rights of every woman, orphan and child who needs an advocate. My call... to be an advocate and a voice for those who cannot speak for themselves.
