Missions: Here and Worldwide

A Request from Justin Geary: Mission of Hope in Ghana

Dear Church Family,

Well I have been at Oklahoma Christian University for 2 years now and I have been blessed in so many ways and am still constantly being blessed. There are constantly opportunities arising to work for the lord and spread the word and glorify God. With that being said, there is one in particular that I am writing to share with you. The college ministry here that I attend has decided to take a group, others along with myself, to Ghana Africa on a mission trip. While in Ghana we will be working with the Village of Hope; a non-profit mission's home that houses African children that have been orphaned, abandoned, left in destitute or in need. The mission was established in 1989 by Christians in the United States and Ghana. They are currently caring for a total of 235 children.
  
The work I will be doing involves teaching vacation bible school classes, educational classes, preparing lunches for a street ministry and many other activities. The group will spend three and half weeks in Ghana.
   
Originally I didn't know exactly what the trip was about, but I talked to several people who went on the trip last year and watched the video of the Village of Hope and know I realize the great ministry that is going on and want to be apart of the work going on in Ghana. It has always been a dream of mine to go to Africa and do mission work and this trip will be a dream come true.

But with this dream comes expenses and I am in need of funding for this trip. The total cost is $2500; this price includes my airfare, food and lodging and visa that I will need to enter the country. I would greatly appreciate any help that you can afford to give to me. Every little bit makes a difference and every little bit matters to me. Hopefully you will find it in your heart to share some of your passion with me. All donations can be made out to Memorial Road Church of Christ. The address is below. I hope you are doing very well. And I look forward to sharing the details of my trip upon our return. Thank you very much.
Sincerely,

Justin Geary
