A couple of days ago, I asked y'all to pray for my daughter concerning her interview with Adventures in Missions. Thank y'all so much for joining us as we sought God's will. Here's what I sent out to family and friends via email this evening:

Dear friends and family---
.
As you know, this past January, I was able to visit my beloved Swaziland with our two oldest daughters. Anna had already found out that Adventures in Missions offers the opportunity for high schoolers to go for one month of ministry in Swaziland, so while there, she had the chance to talk to AIM missionary Kriek Gerber about it.
.
Fast forward a few months and after much prayer and a lot of talking, Anna has not only applied to go back to Swaziland next summer, but after her over-the-phone interview today, she's been accepted into their program.
.
She'll be working primarily with children, many of them orphaned due to losing their parents to HIV/AIDS, at carepoints located in the Manzini area. She is very excited about this opportunity to go on an adventure for the Lord and we are thrilled for her....and proud, too.
.
Next summer, she'll go for one week of intensive training at the AIM headquarters in Georgia before flying out for her four weeks overseas. She'll be part of a team comprised of other teenagers, led by a college student, and working in partnership with AIM personnel living there and Swazi nationals.
.
For more information on the program she is going with, visit the AIM website at:

Thanks for letting me share our big news and please keep her and us in your prayers as we prepare for this incredible trip...one that I know will absolutely change her life.
.
With a grateful and blessed heart,
Elysa
