Lillian Teater from First Mennonite Church of Morton will be leaving on a short term Mission Trip to Tanzania, Africa in August.

For in Him all things were created: things in heaven & on earth, visible & invisible…all things have been created through Him & for Him. He is before all things, & in Him all things hold together.” -Col. 1:16-17

As a child of God, I felt called to share and grow my faith in a new way. I have been praying about a global trip for over a year, and this trip has been an answer to my prayers. My goal is to grow in my faith while using the gifts that God has blessed me with.

I will be traveling to the Mavuno Village. Mavuno is a culturally appropriate, Christ-centered family-style orphanage located in Tanzania, Africa. Their goal is to raise children with the love of Christ, so they may grow to declare Jesus as their Lord. They seek to show children Jesus’ forgiveness, kindness, and love as the only one with power over sin and suffering.

For this mission trip I would appreciate your prayer support. Please pray that I may be equipped to do God’s work for His glory. Also, please pray for the protection and guidance for the children and missionaries already living in this country. Next, I would appreciate financial support. This money would be used for my airfare, vaccinations, room and board. The cost given by my host missionary for this trip is $2900 for two weeks. Checks can be made to First Mennonite Church. Thank you for your prayers and support as I serve in Jesus’ name!
