For my Sweet 16th birthday I
have decided to go on a missions trip to help children with
disabilities. The organization I decided to go through is called
Joni and Friends. It is Joni Eareckson Tada's organization. Joni and
Friends puts on summer camps all over, all summer for families with
children or adults that have disabilities. Normally through this
organization you would have to be 17, but the director of this
organization wants to have me as a STM! I am going to be a STM
(Short-Term Missionary) for Family Retreat, Bison Ranch in Overgaard,
AZ. For this trip I have to raise $1000 (trip and airfare). The trip
is in 7 weeks and lasts 5 days. On this trip I will be assigned a
'buddy' and I will spend all 5 days with this child or adult and
his/her family. The camp will put on activities for all the people
with special needs and their parents. If you have any desire to
donate to my trip I would GREATLY appreciate it. Any donation gets me
closer to my goal. For more information email
me, text or call me. God has put this on my heart and I can't wait to
see what He is doing with it. Much love, Dakota
