Africa Mercy Update 1

Hello everyone. Guess what? I've raised all my money. Praise the Lord. To be honest, I was a little nervous about whether or not I would reach my goal of $4000. But God is good, and I did.

I would like to thank everyone, not just for supporting me finacially but also for supporting me in prayer.

I'm a little nervous going to Liberia on my own. So thats my prayer request for now - that God will just calm my nerves and I'll be able to focus on him and the work I will be doing on the Africa Mercy.

THANK YOU ALL!

Hey Wesley,
I have watched you grow into a fine young man and I am thrilled to see you taking this step of faith and serving God this summer. Don't forget to press on and finish your senior year well, you are not aboard the ship until July. But we will rejoice with you as you graduate and move to the next phase of life.
May the Lord fill your heart and mind and calm your nerves.
Mrs. Paur
