Stephanie's Vision

It has definitely been an amazin journey since I began Bible College almost 2 years ago. God has grown and stretched me in ways I never could have imagined... and in the mean time He has placed some amazing dreams in my heart....

I first went to Zambia at the age of 4. Although I can't remember much, I do have my very first memories from there... having a huge sand pit as our weekend entertainment, swimming in pot holes when when the rain poured down, and being chased by elephants in our old volvo. I think God planted the seed even then to one day go back...

It was just over a year ago that God first gave me a vision to teach people in a third world country to make things that could be sold overseas. I personally love to create... God has gifted me with a love for crocheting and sewing that I hope to be able to pass on to others. I hope to one day open up a store or coffee shop that sells the products from overseas and send the full profit back to the families that made them. It is basically micro-financing, although I only learned that is what it's called a couple months ago!

Last fall Africa was placed on my heart again, and since then it has been a developing dream that is now turning into a reality. The day that God placed it on my heart I remember asking Him for a helper, I simply wanted a friend to come along side me, to bring encouragement and support along the way... and then He placed Abigail back in my life! 

We both have a desire to go to Africa and I believe He will use us to mightily to further His kingdom together. Thank you Lord for vision, for friendship, and for giving us the desires of our hearts. 

I hope those of you that read this our blessed by the journey God is taking us on, and we are so thankful for your prayers!
