In seventeen days I will be boarding an airplane and journeying to the continent of Africa! This dream began when I was thirteen years old, when during a worship service I saw a picture in my minds eye of multitudes of African people gathered together worshipping the Lord. In that moment, a desire sparked inside of me to see this vision first-hand. In the years that followed, I received prophetic words from multiple pastors and leaders regarding me in Africa, which only strengthened my desire to go someday. Now, six years later, the Lord has opened up the door, and I am stepping through!
Right now, I am just preparing practically for the trip. I’ve been finishing reading assignments, getting vaccinations, figuring out insurance and all that fun stuff. The Lord is so faithful! I needed over $5,000 by August 25
th which would cover tuition for the school and airfare. I was extremely blessed as checks came in the mail and people continued to give generously, and I had everything I needed in time! God is such a faithful leader. It is true that where He leads us, He is faithful to provide the means for us to follow. So now, all that is left are the practical things needed for living in Mozambique for over two months, and I still need about $700 in the next 17 days (which includes Medical Insurance, Malaria medication, purified water, etc.) If you would like to help me reach this goal, you can contact me personally at
joyhenning@ihopu.org or give through the Donate button on this blog site. He’s going to do it!!
