Recently I had the opportunity to learn about an amazing mission "West African Mercy Ministries" (WAMM). Brian and Debbie McIntyre, missionaries of WAMM who share God's love in Ghana, Africa, spoke at my home church (Grace Bible Church) and their message touched my heart. I have had the opportunity to meet with Brian and Debbie and have felt the strong desire to go on a short missions trip to Ghana.

We will be working with WAMM to help the sick and dying babies. This ministry has a burning desire to help orphans, and it is my strong desire to help with these babies. However, I know God may have other needs for me to fulfill, and I am willing to be of service wherever God needs me.

Ghana, Africa is a West African Country bordering the Gulf of Guinea, and is about the size of Oregon. Ghana has a population of about 23,832,495, with an infant mortality rate of 51/1000. Ghanaians speak English, so we shouldn't have to worry about a language barrier.

I am excited to be able to participate in this experience and pray that God will use me to demonstrate his love and mercy. I am also excited to see God at work through this trip. I am going way out of my comfort zone by not only getting on the airplane, but also asking for help. I did a lot of praying before sending out the letters asking for financial assistance! I hope those who received the letters were able to see God's work in progress.
