Trinidad and Tobago

I have been accepted by the Word of Life Outreach Program to head out for Trinidad and Tobago! I will be down there from July 11th-August 1st of this year. Before I leave I will be at the WOL Island Camp from June 27th-July 4th where I’ll be trained at their boot camp program. For the next 3 days, once completing their boot camp program, I’ll be trained; along with other teenagers from America and Canada, to learn different ways to minister to the people of Trinidad and Tobago. Once we take flight, our first week on this trip will include open-air evangelism, youth rallies, church services, music, dramas, testimonies, and ministering to different schools. The second week we’ll be conducting and helping at Vacation Bible School with the local churches for the kids.
I am really looking forward to this trip and I know it will be; and has already been, an incredible opportunity for me to learn, grow, and share my walk with Christ. Along with this opportunity though comes the responsibility. These responsibilities include raising both prayer and financial support. If you feel led in any way to support me in either of these two, thank you! The prayers and the money will help reach people in Trinidad and Tobago with the Gospel this summer, and I really appreciate every bit that helps!
In order to set out on this trip, I need to raise $2,850 for the trip alone. This includes air fare, ground transportation, food, and lodging. Other trip related expenses will also need to be raised. Some of those outside expenses will be ministry apparel, passport, money belt, and other travelling expenses WOL has told me about. I am a bit behind in my support because I decided to go a little later than was expected. I need to make up for that financially, but I know if this is a trip I am suppose to take, the Lord will provide for me. I do ask for the prayers none the less though! If you can support me financially, I have a link that will bring up a slip that includes where you can mail your gift to WOL directly. If you itemize on your taxes they will send you a receipt. You can also send any donation to me directly as well and I can deposit it in my WOL account if that is easier. You can use the Paypal link that I have on my blog. Thank you again and I really do appreciate the support!
Love,
Rachel
