We are heading out to Vietnam!



Please pray for us as we depart from LAX tomorrow at 1:30 a.m. In just a few hours we will be flying over the ocean heading to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, and then on to Dá Nang, our final destination!

Thank you so much for your support and prayers--we are so excited for the next month and will keep you all updated with stories and pictures!

Blessings,

a change of plans.

A few weeks ago as we frantically tried to fund-raise, we had to come to terms with the fact that we still did not have sufficient funds to purchase tickets to South Africa, let alone pay for food and housing once there. We were devastated, yet as we were asking God what the plans were for our summer, we were presented with an awesome opportunity in Vietnam.

After getting in contact with an organization in DaNang, Vietnam, we are excited to announce that God has provided a place for us to employ narrative and art therapy with a group of women who desperately need it.

We know that is is a surprising change in plans, yet we are all learning that God’s plan is often very different from ours, and we are excited to see where God is leading us. We believe that this opportunity in Vietnam is exactly where we should be, and we are continuing to prepare and pray about our trip. It is so close! Please keep us in your prayers as we prepare to take off on the 28 of June for DaNang.

More updates to come!

Blessings,
