Let me just start off by saying , God is Amazing! I was invited this past weekend to go back to my home church at Westside for the GIC (Global Impact Celebration) and speak along the side of 50 other missionaries. In those 2 days, I was able to meet, share stories, and get advice from the missionaries. I also have the opportunity to share with some ladies at breakfast, children, youth, college students, and a few sunday school classes about the ministry that I will soon be working with. Everyone asked me some of the same questions:
1. What do I need to get started
2. What do the homes need
3. Can I get them a list of the needs and prices so they can help
4. Prayer requests
4. Prayer requests
I told them I would create a list and post it for them. Here is the list of everything that I can think of right now. I have also attached my amazon wish list that has some of my items that I need on it that I hope to purchase before I go and take them with me. http://amzn.com/w/3MAMC6AXSJ5M
