"Life is about more than just surviving. Something deep inside our being longs to run in the freedom of our purpose."

This July I will be heading out with Youth With A Mission's (YWAM) 'Call of the Wild' student missions programme to share the love of Jesus with the beautiful people of Uganda. Our team consists of 8 top-notch Brits from Universities all around the UK. We will be taking part in a 5 day training session at YWAM's Derby campus, before heading out to Uganda for three weeks. While we are there, we will be involved in a variety of ministries including: street evangelism, community development, teaching, worship, and social justice ministries. It will be a time of giving, refining, growth and transformation.

Including flights the trip is estimated to cost around £1300. As of the 28th of June I have been given over £1200 towards this from over 25 generous donors. I would be immensely grateful if you would support me in 1 of these 2 ways.

1. Prayer - For many of our team this will be a new experience. Please pray for a smooth preparation process and easy travel. We are hungry to see God's will done throughout our time, so please also cover us in prayer in regards to our health, protection and team unity.

2. Donate - As a University Student myself, pulling £1300 together can be pretty tough. I have purchased my flights but if you want to partner and invest in this, I would be OVER THE MOON with any financial support.

Previously I had planned to take part in the Wilmslow Half Marathon to raise funds, however, due to injury I have had to drop out. My mother (Caroline Bishop) is partnering with me and collecting sponsorship to complete the York Sprint Triathlon later this month. Any proceeds over my target will go towards Pioneer training for Caroline next year! Thank you for joining us.
