Dear Family and Friends,
I am very excited to be writing to you today. God has been working in my life and I want to share with you the journey He is taking me on. Since my trip to Tunisia in 2010, I’ve been praying that He would send me again. Just this morning the scripture that I read was Isaiah 6:8 “And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, ‘Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then I said, Here am I! Send me.’” This has been my prayer for the past couple of years and HE is sending me!
This winter I have an amazing opportunity to visit an orphanage in Uganda and Kenya. This 13 day mission-trip is being organized by a Christian non-profit ministry called Visiting Orphans. They organize trips for Christian groups to visit orphanages all over the world. You can learn more about them at: www.VisitingOrphans.org.
I am writing to ask you to partner with me on this trip by praying, encouraging and financially supporting me. Please pray that our team will have unity and that our travels will be safe and we’ll remain healthy. Pray also that God will teach me more about Himself and especially pray that we’ll be able to communicate God’s love to the children we meet.
The cost for me to attend this trip is $3700. This includes all my travel, lodging, meals, and translators. Once I’ve reached my goal, any additional money raised on my behalf can go toward orphanage donations on our trip. $2200 is due to Visiting Orphans by October 26 and the remaining due 3 weeks prior to my trip. So as you can see this is quite a task to get done within a small amount of time, but I know it is possible through Him! Matthew 19:26
Thank you for considering being a part of my support team. If you need to contact me, please email me at : elisha.robertson@gmail.com or call me at 903.436.5841. If you’re able to help support me, you can use the sample response card below. You can also donate on the Visiting Orphans website, just be sure to designate that it is the Uganda/Kenya Team 2 trip from Dec. 27-Jan. 8 and put my name down. I also will be making slippers to sell and use the money towards the trip. See next post for info on ordering these.
Thank you so very much for your support!
Serving Him together,
Elisha Robertson
