I have heard her story… I know the heart that beats inside her chest… What drives a person from the comforts of their home into the vast unknown? It takes a particular sort of story to take a person from a loving family into a terrifying world to spread a love that is often rejected… often persecuted… And yet there are those who choose to go.
In the Ivory Coast I saw Natalie praying with the children of Africa… I saw her carrying bags of rice for widowed woman… I saw her heart for those in need…
Ghana saw her playing in the dust with joyful little babies.
She brought heaven closer to earth by singing of the goodness of our Father…
The mountains is Nepal served as a glorious backdrop as she prayed against the darkness flooding streets where idols are worshiped… children occasionally are sacrificed… where the lives of cows are put before the lives of people.
Rejoicing always she has reminded our team to daily find the joy intermixed with the strangest of circumstances… (She is quirky as mess… which makes everyone love her all the more)
Here we are in India and once again I have seen her loving on orphans in the same way the father loves on us.
It has been an incredible beginning. We have grown together as a team… as friends… as family…
Natalie has traveled miles to offer the people of the world what she knows will heal it. She has gone through illness, the pain of missing home, the irritation of way too many bugs invading her sleeping bag in the night… She has given what she is able and is more than willing to give more…
She has 7 more months of this race to complete, but in order to do that she is in need of $3,000 in the next two days.
It seems like a tall order, but I know that those at home will see the great work God is doing in her, around her, and through her to bring His kingdom…
Will you step in and help her to stay on the field… if you cannot support her financially then consider sharing this blog with all your friends…
LET’S GET THIS GIRL FULLY FUNDED… The clock is ticking…
