About the Campaign
The team from Shoreline Church will be working with Life Christian Academy, a Christian school for the underprivileged in George, South Africa in June 2023. We are partnering with Kids Around the World to build a playground and build relationships in this community for future trips. Kids Around the World is a US based nonprofit whose mission is to share God’s transforming hope with kids and their communities through food, play, and story.
South Africa is especially near and dear to me since one of my best friends moved down there a few years ago. I get to hear about the beautiful people and landscapes. Not only will this be an amazing opportunity to serve and make an impact, I’ll get to spend time with her, meet her community, and explore the place she calls home.
The teacher in me is excited to use my calling to help serve globally. Mentoring students, playing with kids, and traveling are some of my greatest passions and I’m thrilled to put my skills to use in Africa.
I really appreciate all the support and encouragement. Please keep the team in your prayers – specifically for safety as we build the playground, as we travel around the world, and as we spread the good news & love of Jesus. Can’t wait to keep you updated along the way!
*Since The Shoreline Church is a 501(c)3 non-profit, all donations given are tax deductible and you will receive a donation statement at the end of the year.
