Dear Friends and Family,
I want to start by thanking all of you for supporting my trip to Togo last year. The trip was the most amazing, life changing, experience I have ever had. I enclosed a copy of the blog I wrote about the trip. It has a lot of pictures, as well as a recap of the trip. I hope you all enjoy reading it and understand how big a part of it you each were.
My life has gone on fast forward since I got back and my senior year is flying past me. For those of you who have been waiting, in October, thanks to my big sister Kellie, I got my drivers License! I finally finished applying to colleges and decided that I want to go to Charleston Southern for nursing school. My dream is to be able to travel and do medical missions one day. In December, I received my acceptance letter to CSU along with an academic scholarship totaling 52,000 dollars! I am so anxious to graduate in June (June 1st—save the date!) and start this new chapter in my life. I finished my first semester at school with 3 A’s and passing honors calculus, thanks to my wonderful tutor (haha). I have kept myself busy between all the excitement, working at the Citadel Mall selling pictures for a good friend. I have continued to serve with the two’s and three’s on Sundays at church. I’m also still attending Groundswell, the high school/ middle school service on Wednesdays. It is through Groundswell that I have been presented with TWO more amazing opportunities!
Josh Ray, the leader from my Togo trip will be leading two more trips, this year to Haiti and South Africa. I am SO excited about these trips. This year we will be working with orphans, which most of you know, is my heart. I loved working in the church last year, but I believe it is equally important to go outside the walls of the church to reach people. In Haiti we will be working to meet the basic needs of the children that were devastated by the earthquake. We want them to know that we haven’t forgotten them! In South Africa we will also be working with the orphans as well as doing community projects. I am asking, again, for your help in sending me on these trips.
In missions, we believe that some are called to go, some are called to pray, and some are called to give and all three are of equal importance. I am going to need as much prayer as I can get in attempting two trips! Without people praying for our teams, we have no support. I ask that you join in praying for me and my teams as we go to the ends of the earth to do what God has called us to do. You can also support me by giving. The cost of the two trips will be 5,000 dollars. I know that this is a huge number but I learned last year that if it is God’s will, I will make the money. If you would like to contribute through a check, please email me for my address. My email is meganmg129@gmail.com. You can also give online, if you would like, I can email you a link. I ask that you all prayerfully consider giving, knowing that God will bless you for it. I also ask that all of you spread the word about the trips. The more people we have supporting us, the better the trips will be! If you have ANY questions, please don’t hesitate to emaiil me! I thank you all so, so much for your support and generosity!
In Christ’s Love,
Megan Garner
