Morgan's on a Mission. Help Gary and Maria go on a mission trip to Cambodia
Auckland
Gary and I went to Nepal on our very first mission trip in 2009 and have wanted to go on another one ever since. 8 years and 2 children later it is time to revive that dream and make it happen.
When the invitation came to join the LIFE Kids team going to Cambodia it was met with a sense of excitement and a knowing that the time is right
Gary and I lead in the preschool area of our local church and we are passionate about sowing into the younger generation and empowering them to grow into their greatest potential. Being able to invest into the lives of the Cambodian children while learning from their culture and background is not an opportunity we take for granted.
Unfortunately our girls are too young to join us on this trip but one phone call later and the babysitter is booked.
Now for the fund raising... your donations and support is hugely appreciated
Funds raised will help cover Airfares, accommodation, food and 2 weeks worth of babysitting!
Flights are Booked 24 December 2017
Phnom Penh here we come!
Cant believe its only 2 weeks out until we board a plane to Cambodia. Its crazy how fast the time has gone.
From a fundraising perspective, we booked a couple of venues to have them cancel on us 2 weeks out due to "Double Bookings" or "Much larger group we had to give priority to" and then it got too close to Christmas for it to be suitable.
Sooo.... where are we at?
We have managed to save/raise/have costs covered to the current value of $5745 which is absolutely incredible and we are definitely going. Praise God!
On the flip side, the total cost is actually coming in at more then $7.5k for us as childcare costs are higher due to daycare now shutting down for most of the time, my insurance bill being stupidly high, injections and so forth... not to mention the very poor american dollar conversion rate at the moment :(.
so, if you would still like to donate any last minute support at all would be appreciated.
If you would like to stay up-to-date while we are in Cambodia there is a team page on facebook. Cambodia 2018 - Kids Team.
Thanks Heaps Everyone
Merry Christmas
Gary and Maria
