Okay, Hey Everyone!
I've never had a blog so this is all new to me. I wanted some where to share some exciting things that are happening in the True household!
This summer Liz and I are going to be going to Olongapo, Philippines! We heard that John and Kelsey Moore, a young married couple,were planning on taking a trip to the Philippines to work with a mission group called Mercy in Action. http://www.mercyinaction.com/ The goal of Mercy in Action is to set up midwifery clinics(for women and children's health care) in different towns and villages. They usually rent a building to set up their clinics, but have felt a calling to reach the Aeta tribe. They will be building a clinic in the mountains, since there are no buildings to rent.
John and Kelsey are going down to stay indefinitely and encouraged others to come down to help with the process of getting this clinic started. Mercy in Action also has asked them to have a garden and for the girls that will be going to work with the children of this tribe in some way. I'm super excited because I will get to be involved in the midwifery/medical side of things. I will be doing a midwife internship for several months (still deciding on how long)
Plans are not set for when we will leave, but it will be sometime mid June. I may be gone for up to 3 months. Liz will be gone for a month.
Some of you reading this will already know the people going on this trip, but most of you won't so I want to give you the names-- John and Kelsey Moore, Levi Langham, Orissa and Miji Mora-Kent, Jared Lindsey, Elizabeth and Miriam True. There are a few others still praying about going too.
If you want to help you can pray for us as we prepare. Pray for us to have the funds we need to travel there, to live there, and to build the clinic. Pray for us to be ready spiritually and physically. Pray especially for John as he heads things up. Pray we will learn the lessons the Lord wants to teach us while we are there. Pray that we will be able to reach this tribe for the Lord.
