Calleigh and I are traveling to Nicaragua in February, 2018; on a mission trip. Our seven-day trip will focus on bringing healthcare to rural villages in this area of the world that is often referred to as ‘the forgotten mountains.’ The purpose of our trip is four-fold: *First, we will be allowing God to work in our lives through the personal enrichment that comes from this type of mission trip. * Second, the journey will help us focus our individual prayers by traveling to a foreign land and praying ‘on-site with insight’ after witnessing how villagers live and raise their families, * Third, we will be bringing the loving care of doctors, nurses, and a dental team to meet the healthcare needs of more than one thousand Nicaraguans. * Fourth, we will provide badly needed medicine, like anti-parasite treatments, antibiotics, and vitamins to all the patients who come to our clinics. I’m excited about the opportunity and experience that lie ahead. Calleigh is ecstatic at the thought of traveling to give to others. I hope you see the value in what we will accomplish. As you can imagine, a trip like this requires financial support from a number of people. Calleigh and I need to raise $2500 by January 31, 2018. If you can support in a financial way, we would be very grateful. We also need your prayer support—fuel that will allow us to be successful as we follow God’s leading in ministry in Central America.
