Thank you for visiting my blog to raise money that will hopefully take me on a mission trip to Uganda in the Summer of 2011. Specifically, a two week trip from July 22 - August 2, of 2011.
A little bit about me:
My name is Torie Hayes. I am 19 years old, a member of Elevation church in Charlotte, NC and a sophomore in college. Since I was 15 years old I've felt the calling to go to specifically Uganda, Africa to work with HIV/AIDS orphans and mothers. As I have grown in my Faith through the years I have found that this is God's calling for my life. I would like to begin my missions by attending a short term, 2 week mission to Uganda first- which is what I'm raising the money for now. After that I will attend other, and longer mission trips. Anywhere to a few months, to a year, to maybe a lifetime. The longer trips really depend on what God want's me to do with my life.
Here's a break down of the expenses for the 2 week trip:
Non-refundable application deposit: $200.00
Trip-Cost: $3,000 - $3,200
(dependent on airfare)
(Includes Domestic and International airfare, accomodation, 3 meals a day, in-country transportation, travel insurance, translator/guide, tourist site entrance fees and visas.)
Passport: $165.00
_____________________________________________________________________________Total Cost: $3,365.00 - $3,565.00
Also, here is a description from the website of the organization I will be going with, of what I will be doing in Uganda, and who I will be working with. Feel free to visit any of the sites or blogs of the organizations listed below, and if you would like to visit the website of the organization I am going with, please click here.
"In Uganda, our teams will spend time working at Amazima Ministries (http://kissesfromkatie.blogspot.com) with their feeding program and with the children of the Karamajong tribe. Our focus with Amazima Ministries will be to present vacation bible study series and lessons to these children so that they know the love of their Heavenly Abba Father. We will also help meet physical and financial needs by bringing supplies and donations from the U.S. There are many other orphanages which Visiting Orphans partners with in Uganda such as Canaan's Children Home, Return Uganda, Divine Care Ministries, My Father's House, Spring of Hope orphanage and an orphanage in the city of Palissa. Customized itineraries for each trip will consist of working with some or each of these orphanages."
I will be posting more blogs on information concerning updates of money matters, but also will be talking a little about the organizations I am thrilled that I will be working with.
Feel free to donate by clicking on the PayPal tab at the top right corner of my blog.
Also, prayers and encouragement at this time are much appreciated. :)
Thank you, and God Bless!
