In exactly two weeks I will be on my way to Kyiv, Ukraine! I am very excited to meet everyone and to see what God is going to do on this trip! As it gets closer I keep finding out new tidbits of information about the trip, so I would like to share a few more things about the outreach phase that I discovered.
First off, Moldova is the poorest country in Europe. Almost 2/3 of its population is below the poverty line! Romania's economy is in a similar ditch because it is also struggling economically. Romania is also a main transit country for the human trafficking industry. Many children are forced into this industry and are taken to many places in Europe and especially Thailand. Because this is also an issue in Moldova, this is going to be a main focus in our ministry! I will keep you all updated on what type of things we could be doing as it gets closer.
With two more weeks to go, many things are happening at once! With "Christmas and Thanksgiving" on Sunday, my last week at work, and a few appointments I have a good amount to get done before I leave. I certainly can say that I will miss my church and my youth group. On top of that many of my school friends are going off to college...it's all so surreal!
I still have $1500 to raise mainly for the outreach portion of my trip. Please consider supporting me before I leave on September 7th! You can follow this link to my GoFundMe page. It's a safe way to support me and keep track of how much I still need to raise.
