ISRAEL JOURNEY

Nine years ago, I rededicated my life to the true Lover of My Soul. I had run for years from my calling to do volunteer work that occurred as a young girl.

Approximately eight years ago, I joined a group that which focused on outreach projects. But I had another calling that I needed to fulfill…a personal support trip that included the care and provision for my mother. As mother declined, I began to have a desire to go to College and do full-time outreach projects. I did not know that the Father would call Mom home six months after this dream was deposited into my heart. 

As my walk in life deepened, I had a longing to learn Ancient Hebrew and then COVID-19 brought terror as a healthcare worker, but it also became a blessed time. It was during this quietness that I began my first online class of Ancient Hebrew, and to date I have completed over 36 months of study. Little did I know that the study of Ancient Hebrew would lead to other connections. 

I found a College in Israel with a concentration in Cognate Languages-Hebrew. While I was being directing to a school in Israel, the Father was working behind the scenes in other ways for me to get connected with volunteer opportunities.  The first opportunity is through my College and its Field Teaching Class.  This class will place me in teaching settings in Israel and/or the West Bank in order to develop practical skills necessary for leadership in a wide variety of schools in the Middle East.  The settings that I will work in include schools, churches, social service organizations i.e. orphanages and food banks.  

As I look toward the summer of 2024, my  goal is to do volunteer work during my summer break.  The group I initially joined is assisting me with networking for outreach opportunities over the summer. One possible connection is me working alongside Young Life In Israel.  Young Life runs  summer youth camps and there may be a need for my clinical expertise as a nurse practitioner.  My group has also paired me up with a team that specializes in sending others on cross-cultural volunteer trips called, "Upstream Sending."

My funding goal for Summer 2024 is $12,000.  This amount will allow me stay spend of portion of my summer break in Israel. Will you join me in my journey and become a part of my team?

Your contributions will help fund room/board, travel accommodations, and other practical needs to live abroad in Israel. College will allow me to increase my knowledge of the Word and will allow me to network with different charitable organizations. Your monthly or one-time support will allow me to fulfill my dream of serving others through medical missions, while in Israel.
