The Journey Has Begun

Hey all!
Thanks again for all of your prayers and support. I can't wait to see how God is going to use me in South Africa in just a few short months. I wanted to give you a quick update. First of all, I am amazed by how many people have committed to praying for me! That is awesome! I hope that this group grows daily. I am also excited that God has already provided about half of my funding. As of right now, Vox is planning on having me serve with their generationvox, Vox United's child sponsorship program (check out voxunited.org for more details). Please continue to pray for me as I prepare for this journey. Please pray as I prepare spiritually. I know that the devil hates what I'm doing and will try to stop it. Pray that I am able to stand my ground against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Pray that I find those both on the field and at home who will lift me up and support me. Pray that I am able to prepare myself mentally, emotionally, and physically. Please pray for peace for my family while I'm in South Africa. Lastly, please pray that God will provide the rest of the finances for this journey. None of this would be possible without Him. To God be the glory, now and forever!
God bless,
Sharon
