Last weekend the African Orphan Project held it's 2nd annual auction to raise funds to help the orphans. It took a lot of work, but a hangar was transformed into a wonderful site of people, pictures, music, decorations and items for bid. The event was attended by 100 plus people who came out in support of the auction. A big thank you to Bob and Linda Funk for listening to the call of God to do something so powerful. The auction was also attended by Senator John Shadegg who donated a trip to the capital. The event was a huge success and almost all of the items were bid on or sold. **Pictured is one of the beautiful cakes that were sold to the highest bidder.**
Life-changing moments, have you ever had these moments? I have had several throughout the course of my life. The one that stands out the most is what I like to call my miracle. God has called me to be a missionary. The spark was lit in me a few years ago on the first mission trip I took to Peru. I didn't know what to expect. When I got home, I knew that I wanted to do it again. I surrendered to God and asked him to show me my purpose because "I" didn't know what to do with my life and I felt lost. God sent me on many trips since then and opened the eyes of my heart to love those who are the least in the world. He placed a strong desire in my heart to be a missionary. I prayed for the opportunity to do it for more than a few weeks. My heart desires to do it for the rest of my life. I knew that God had to decided when I was ready and his timing is perfect. I heard God's call and answered it. I am so excited and overjoyed to serve God this way and in all the ways he asks me to. Thank you Father for my miracle.
