Camp Friends.


I am beyond blessed to have the honor to be able to sit here and broadcast the ministry of a girl I call not only one of my best friend but my sister has had a passion to start.
     

    God knew what He was doing when He allowed me Mary-Michael's paths to cross at Camp Winshape 7 years ago. Who would have ever though that being in the same cabin for two weeks with someone would eventually turn into a life long friendship. Following camp she ended up being one of my sister's students, which I find so funny but at the same time a huge God wink. This girl is incredibly talented is every aspect of life. She has an undeniable passion for the Lord, a voice that touches your heart, the gift of of inspiration through the song, and most of all the ability to be the best friend someone could ask for. A friend that listens to your stupid boy problems. A friend that doesn't sit with you while you cry, but instead cries with you because when you hurt she hurts. A friend that texts you all day long at school about the most random things ever. A friend that is a without a doubt someone God placed in my life because He knew I would need her along the way of the twist and turns of life. 

    Unite for Uniforms is a organization that she started last year after a life changing trip to Kenya. The purpose of this movement is to gives kids in Kenya a chance. A chance to succeed, a chance to go to school, a chance to get an education, and to ultimately pursue a relationship with Christ. However, in Kenya kids can't attend school without a uniform and with poverty being so prevalent, some families can't afford something as simple as a uniform that cost all of $5. So Mary-Michael has started this organization to raise money to send over to Kenya to help provide uniforms for these kids. Recently, news has returned that through the work and passion of teenage girl who went on a trip, came home and had a passion placed on her heart and did something about and started this ministry, 53 kids are now enrolled at school and not wandering the streets of Kenya with the possibilities of human trafficking or slavery being around every corner.

   
So help me in supporting Mary-Michael, and in supporting these kids in Kenya who so desperately need our help. 

UNITE. Because when we come together, we can make a difference.
