whoa. in 9 days we leave for Botswana!

We are in the single digits of the countdown until I leave. It's been such a crazy and awesome road since January when I found out I got accepted on the trip. Ranging from raising support, to getting my vaccinations, and even receiving overwhelming positive encouragement and support from family, friends and my church family. I have learned how blessed I am and how small I am. God, the creator of the universe, finds time between feeding the animals of the earth and making the sun rise and set to work in my life. Praise God for the raising of my financial support and working out every detail of the trip! It's been such an awesome and humbling experience to be able to see God do his thing.

The team as a whole will have raised right around $100,000 of support to make our trip possible. As of right now, we need to raise about $5,000 to enable our entire team to be able to leave next Saturday. God will make it all happen; I just have this feeling in my bones He will. If you would like to help my team raise this last 5%, you can do one of two things.
1) Pray for God to work in the hearts of those He wants to contribute and help them to give freely and joyfully.
2) If you or anyone you know that might want to help, have them contact me at kkelly11@students.towson.edu to help them make their contribution either by check, money order or even online giving.

Thank you to all for your continued prayers as we enter the one week mark until we leave, as we travel and while we are over there! On the left hand side, there is a Prayer list with some specific things you can pray for our team about.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Modimo o a go rata.
