Designing a World of Hope


Greetings, from Tyler, Texas! I am excited to share with you what God is doing in my life. In the pursuit of the Lord’s call for me to use my passions, skills, and education to minister to those in need, God has opened up a wonderful opportunity for me to serve with Engineering Ministries International (EMI).

EMI is an organization whose vision is to design a world of hope for the physically and spiritually poor while proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ. The staff is comprised of professional architects and engineers from around the world who volunteer their services to overseas ministries. Examples of projects include churches, hospitals, orphanages, schools, and wastewater treatment. EMI’s head office is in Colorado Springs, CO, and it also operates overseas offices in Canada, Costa Rica, the United Kingdom, Uganda, and India.


UGANDA

I will be volunteering as an engineering intern at the Kampala, Uganda office from January until July 2013. During this time, I will complete a project trip to initiate the design of a needed ministry facility in the region. I will then return to Kampala to help complete the design for the project.

I would like for you to be involved in sending for this ministry work. The most important thing that I need is your support though the power of prayer! At this time, please pray for spiritual preparation for myself and for the other interns that will be serving in ministry at EMI.

The total expenses for the internship will be approximately $9500, which I will need to raise in support by December 20th, 2012. If you feel led to make a financial contribution (tax deductible) to this opportunity, donations can be made online at https://emisecure.org/donate.html.


Thank you for considering being part of my team in what God has called me to! If you have any questions or are interested in receiving prayer updates via email, feel free to email me at the address listed on my complete profile.
