Praise the Lord! I only have 700 dollars left to raise and my trip to Gulu is completely paid for! I have raised $600 for my trip to Gulu! I am also receiving $1300 back form my taxes this year! I prayed about it, and I know it's an answer to prayer for this ministry trip!! Thank you all for giving! As the day gets closer and closer, I am getting more and more excited! I'm leaving in 19 days!!
Kyle has gotten his ticket! One of his supporters paid for his ticket in full with frequent flyer miles!!! Praise God!
I NEED TO GET MY PLANE TICKET ASAP!!! I'm only $200 short right now!
If you would still like to give, I would greatly appreciate it!! It's getting down to the wire! You can click the DONATE BUTTON (on the right) to give electronically or you can still send a check to:
Leah Johnson
10438 Bales Ave
Kansas City, MO 64137
The deadline for tax deductible checks is May 6th! This is Friday! Sorry for the late notice! I just got an email today! (Like I've said before, address it out to IHOP. Then, attach a sticky note with my name on it and please do not put my name anyway on the check.)
Things I need for the trip:
(Feel free to specifically pick of these things!)
- Luggage (I need at least one large suitcase)
- $150 for my shots needed
- $50 for malaria medication
- $58 for my Visa
- $50 for toiletries and packing necessities
- A couple hundred to take with me for living expenses
- If it's possible extra money to help the house of prayer with food and to be a blessing!
Naomi's family is allowing me to stay at her house for free!! Food is included as well! This is a huge blessing, but if I can I would like to give them a love offering! Also Kyle is staying at the Shehee's house for free and they have offered their motorcycle to Kyle to use while they are out of town! He said he was willing to come and get me! So transportation is taken care of other than gas money!
Life in KC at IHOPU:
Last week was the last official week of classes. I'm signing up for next year! I will be a Junior. The Lord has been so near these ast two years. I have grown so much. Looking back, I see a little 19 year old girl that didn't know who she was, and now I see a strong woman of God that carries herself with confidence. I have grown to know who I am before the Lord. Thank you all for taking this journey with me! I have learned from my previous leaders, teachers, and my peers. I feel like the Lord is saying that this trip to Gulu is the beginning of something new and it's big!
Praise Report in Gulu:
The riots in Gulu have ended! Thank you for praying for Naomi and Gulu. However, Kampala is still under much distress. There are fires, break ins, robberies, and violent riots still going on. The police and authorities have tried to control it and have also handled things badly and it has gotten out of control. They are pulling people out of their homes and beating them! Please pray for Kampala! Ask for the peace of the Lord. This is also where Kyle and I will be flying into. Then we will bee taking a bus the rest of the way to Gulu!
May the Lord bless you all this week!! Thank You for sowing into the Kingdom and my destiny!!
