Headin' South...Hi everyone! Let me first apologize to those who didn't receive my last update (from Sept/Oct). I lost my address book and I'm still trying to collect my original list. If you would like to read my last update, please check out my blog @ www.kellyjoramsey.blogspot.com
So, if you haven't guessed by now, I'm going to South Africa! I've been invited to spend three months working with my friends at Ten Thousand Homes (www.TenThousandHomes.org). They are starting a Discipleship Training School (DTS), the same type of school that I have been working with here in New Haven, CT. I love working with DTS's and I'm excited to see what it's like in a different location. I have talked with my friends there and it sounds like I may also help run a Saturday art class for the local kids/teens. I plan on helping out wherever they need me but we are looking for ways to use art in the school and in their community. This is one of the reasons I am going (besides the people!). I feel that this will be a good opportunity to be stretched in the way I use and see art.
Support...
At this point, I don't know exactly how much my ticket will cost. It can range from $1200 to $1700, I'm told. I also need to get my eyes checked and I need to get Malaria pills. Plus, I want to bring some art supplies with me. So, my goal (for now) if to raise $2000 by January 10th. If you want to help financially, please contact me @ andimvanessa@hotmail.com or call 203-887-8375. And as always, I will need prayer. I know that I will get to do things that I've never done before. I will be in a place that I have never been before, working with a culture that I've never worked with before. But I know that I will learn and I know that I will have fun! So, please keep me and the team in your prayers. I will try to keep my blog up to date while I'm there with more specific prayer needs. Thank you to everyone for your support!
