As many
of you know, I was planning to go to Liberia this summer to assist The Last
Well in their efforts to bring clean water to the nation of Liberia. With the coming of the New Year, The Last
Well has shifted their focus to fundraising in the United States and will no
longer be taking in teams. As I’m sure
you can all imagine, I was initially quite disappointed. Doing water well ministry has been a dream of
mine for years. However, I am excited to
announce that ORU Missions has formulated a new trip for my team to Burkina
Faso! There we will be working with
Pastor Danny and his ministry called HOPE BURKINA. Hiis vision is to plant churches, improve
education, and disciple others. If you
would like to learn more about Pastor Danny and the work that he does in
Burkina Faso, you can watch the video found at this link: http://world-outreach.com/people/danny-ruby-bayasen/
Thank
you all so much for your support. I know
this is a big change, but the Lord has used it to bring my team closer together
and show us that serving God is a lifestyle not a destination. My team could definitely use prayer that the
Lord will guide us and show us His purpose behind this change in plans. Pastor Danny has asked for prayer for his
family as well as for their ministry’s needs.
I appreciate all of your willingness to partner with me as I do my best
to follow God’s calling on my life. If
you would like to donate towards this trip, please follow this link: http://www.orumissions.com/donate/ . Thanks to the generous donations that have already poured
in from all of you,
I am blessed to be able to say I am about $500 away from reaching my goal of
$3,600. However, my team is still in
great need of funds. If you would be
interested in meeting and supporting one of the other members on my team, I
would be happy to make that connection.
All five of the others on my team are bright, spirit-led, outstanding
individuals who I have grown to love immensely.
Please shoot me an email at christisleiman@gmail.com
if you would like to continue to receive updates about my trip.
