I'm Ana! Nice to meet ya!



Hello Family & Friends!!

I am so excited to let you know that I am taking another trip to Jinja, Uganda with Healing Faith (www.healingfaithuganda.org). The missionaries that will be hosting us are Jason and Kari Segner of College Station, who have been missionaries in Africa with their 5 children for a few years now. Many of you helped me in prayer and financially for my first trip in December 2012 and I am eternally grateful for your help. It was such a blessing to work hand in hand with the villages outside of Jinja for clinic days and also playing and loving on the children of the villages. Healing Faith has turned their ministries focus on Malaria prevention and education in addition to diagnosing and treating malaria, which is mainly found in pregnant women and children. We are going to help them with the malaria program and anything else that is needed.

A quick update on what is going on in my life. Over the past year, the Lord has been doing some pruning in my personal life, I believe clearing way for a new season. Keeping my hope and faith has been difficult, but has grown and strengthened my relationship with God a great deal. I currently work at Scott & White and earned my certification for ophthalmic assistant last October. I love my job and my co-workers, I am so blessed. I am currently finishing up my 4th semester of night classes at Blinn. I am about finished with my core courses and will keep praying on where God wants me to go from there. :)
 
Our team of 7 women will be leaving June 25th and will return July 9th. Through this trip we will be able to bring 2 fifty pound bags per person, and we plan on using 1 per person for much needed medical supplies and anything else they may need.

The Lord has really been working in my heart about how to write this letter. I want to be open and honest with my supporters and say that I would love your prayers first and foremost. I confidently believe that God is sending me back to Jinja for a purpose that is unknown to me at this time, but I trust Him in this and I ask that you please pray for His provision and protection over this trip. I also ask that you pray for His will to be done, for courage, for the hearts of the people of Uganda, for our team, for the Segner family and Healing Faith ministry. Prayer is powerful in Jesus' name and I believe that covering this trip in prayer is the most important part of this letter. I thank you now for your support in prayer.

With that said, I would also like for you to prayerfully consider supporting me financially. I believe in every decision we make, that we should take it to our Heavenly Father first. If you feel led by the Holy Spirit to support me financially, here are a couple of ways to do so:
