Hey everyone--
As many of you already know I have been accepted to an internship program where I will be spending my summer in Kampala, Uganda with Sozo Children on mission. I have been praying about this decision for a very long time, and am so thankful that God's answer thus far has been yes. I have such a passion and heart for the people of Africa and specifically Uganda. As excited as I am and as ready as I am to be there I have a few things to ask of you.
First off, your prayers are most important to me. I have never been away from home this long but especially on a different continent, so prayers for that. Also please be praying that God will use me for the purpose He already has in mind for this trip and I will see Him and experience Him in ways like never before.
Secondly, this trip going to cost about $5000 which is a large sum of money. But I feel where God guides He always provides. So if you could prayerfully consider giving to my trip I would appreciate it so much. You can donate through this mobile fundraising site.
let me know if you have any question, please!
In Him, Lexie Bice
2015 Sozo Children Uganda Internship
Ephesians 4:1-6
"I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call— one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all."
This year we are excited to offer an incredible opportunity to a passionate group of college students. During the summer of 2015, each intern will be traveling to Uganda to serve orphan and neglected children while investing in the surrounding communities. They will each be stretched physically, spiritually, and emotionally while we explore the unique relationships found in the body of Christ. Regardless of background or titles we hold we are ONE in Jesus Christ.
This summer each intern will be tasked with the following responsibilites: discipling our Sozo Children, assisting the Ugandan staff at home, growing in relationship with each other, connecting believers in the surrounding communities, working alongside Ugandans in community rehabilitiation efforts, growing the local church, and facilitating Sozo Children teams.
