Diana Fields goes to Africa!

Another member of the First Christian Church family has answered the
call to care for orphans.  This time Diana Fields from the High Point campus
and her sister are two members of a Visiting Orphans team who are headed
to Uganda and Kenya later this month.

 

Diana and husband, Chad.

 

Visiting Orphans describes Diana's trip:
"This team will start off their journey by heading to Nakuru, Kenya to serve and
stay at Fiwagoh Mission Orphanage. Fiwagoh is located right near beautfiul Lake
Elmenteita and home to around 180 amazing children. Also, during the team's
time in Kenya they will be serving at the Visoi Children's Home located in the
rural countryside of Kenya, Grace Children's Center which is full of excited and
loving boys, and Haven of Hope, a home for toddlers, babies, and young children
 who have been abandoned.

 

After their time in Kenya the team will fly to Uganda for the second half of this life
changing trip. The team will first head to Kampala to spend a day with Pastor Samuel
and the children of Return Ministries where they provide lunch for the wonderful
children of Return, along with Bible lessons and fun and games. The team will then
travel to beautiful Jinja, Uganda. During the teams time in Jinja they will be staying
at Canaan Children's Home among the amazing children and staff of Canaan. Before
heading home the team will have one last day to serve with Home Again Ministries
by visiting the villages of the wonderful women and children of the Karamajong Tribe.
This trip is going to be full of amazing children and ministries that God's hand is clearly on."

Diana has joined forces with the FCCM Orphan Care Ministry and Brighton Their
World to be what is called a "mule".  A mule is one who carries formula and blankets
to orphanages in third world countries for Brighton Their World. 

Special thanks to the Women's Impact Class for their continuing support
for the work of Brighton Their World.  Their donations provided a 50 lb
bag filled to the top with powdered baby formula.  Many tightly packed
bags have been given to orphanages around the world thanks to caring
groups like the Women's Impact Class.  Thank you, ladies, for the work
you do.  Thanks also to Judy Chance for sending her handmade blankets.

The Orphan Care Ministry seeks your prayers for Diana as she travels.
Pray that her heart will be open to the leading of the Father as she loves
on orphans so far away.  Please pray for their entire team.  Pray for safety,
for good health, for wisdom and for guidance by the Holy Spirit.  Pray
for Diana's husband and children while she is so far away.

Ever thought about a mission trip?  The Orphan Care Ministry is working
on upcoming plans for a 2013 trip to Ethiopia.  Ask the Lord if He wants
YOU to go!
