Crazy Mission Trip Update – Uganda & Ethiopia in July!
Our July mission trip to Uganda & Ethiopia with Visiting Orphans is filling up fast!! Thank you for your amazing emails & prayers as we are building a team of 25 crazy, passionate, loving, inspiring, adventurous bloggy friends (men & women) to join us – July 19th through August 1st on a trip of a lifetime. Many of your hearts are stirring and praying about joining us and I want to encourage you to move forward in faith and do something radical.
I can’t wait to meet Katie Davis and all her girls- you don’t want to miss this adventure to Uganda! We will have the opportunity to feed over 1000 orphans that Katie has loved and cared for.
Things to do:
1. Fill out the Application to reserve your spot: VISITING ORPHANS WEBSITE.
2. Get a Passport (Check your expiration date please!!) http://travel.state.gov/passport/passport_1738.html
3. Make an appointment at your Health Department for immunizations. Yellow Fever is the only shot that is mandatory, although I went ahead and got all the recommended shots, including Hepatitis A and B, Tetanus, and Typhoid http://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/content/vaccinations.aspx
Fundraising Efforts:
1. Please send out donation request letters ASAP. Make them personal and include a self addressed return envelope!
