NEPAL

Can you believe that I have the chance to travel to Nepal???  I continue to be amazed at this opportunity!!!  Prior to my trip to Togo and while in Togo I felt that God was leading me to explore a hospital/community health ministry in Nepal.  Little by little all the pieces have fallen together!  I was approved to extend my leave of absence from my job at Riley until May 1st, and the missionaries in Nepal are able to have me come for 3-4 weeks during the months of March or April.

I have struggled with the idea of having to raise support for this trip so soon after coming home from Togo.  However, I realize from my time in Togo that it's not only about asking for you to support me financially, I also need your prayers and encouragement along the way, because while I can be the one to make the journey, I can't make the journey alone!!!
  
TEAM would like to see money starting to come into my account as I am looking towards the purchase of my plane tickets this week.  Because of that, I wanted to send out a quick update and info on how you would be able to make donations if you feel that is how you can join me on this journey!
It will be around $3,000.00, the cost may be a little more or less depending on final ticket prices!

The organization I'll be traveling with is TEAM (The Evangelical Alliance Mission),  
Website: https://team.org/
My account number with them is:  011093. 
You may not see my full name associated with the account, because of some rules associated with Nepal.
