Greetings from the DeZago family!
We want to share some exciting news with you!!
God has provided an opportunity for our entire family to travel to Namibia, Africa for a mission trip this June with our church! We’re so excited to see how God can use our family for his Kingdom and for what he is going to teach us! 🇳🇦
During the week, all 6 of us will have the opportunity to serve over 300 kids in impoverished neighborhoods through sports, evangelism, and feeding programs with YWAM (Youth With A Mission). We will also have an opportunity to go to the northern part of Namibia and serve in the village there.
In order to make this possible, we need to assemble a sponsorship team...people like you who feel led to help us fly to Africa and serve, and/or who would be willing to lift us up daily in prayer. The total amount that we need to raise is: $12,500. This amount includes all travel expenses, food, lodging, and ministry supplies. This is quite a large amount of money, but we know we serve a big God who can do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine!
Here are some ways you can help:
1️⃣ We would be so grateful for your prayerful consideration of giving financially to meet this need. No amount is too small, we appreciate any gift you are led to give. All gifts are tax deductible, and there are a few ways to give. Checks need to be made out to: Compass Christian Church, please put on the memo line: Namibia Mission Trip and DeZago Family. If you’d like to mail it directly to the church, the address is:
Compass Christian Church
1825 S Alma School Rd. Chandler, AZ 85286
Attn: Dena Swinson
Also, you can give directly on our webpage for our trip: https://app.managedmissions.com/Donations/Donate/70108 ❗️Please make sure you pick a member of our family from the drop-down menu! ❗️
2️⃣ Over the next couple of weeks, we will be assembling donations for a fundraising yard sale to take place at our home on March 22-23! If you are local and have items worth selling that you were planning on donating to Goodwill, would you consider donating them to our family instead? I am happy to arrange pickup if you just text me or send a DM!
3️⃣ We have an immediate need of acquiring passports for the boys, and the cost of these is not included in the trip’s overall cost. Donations to our trip’s fund linked above will not go to passports. If you would like to contribute directly to our passport acquisition, please DM or text me directly. Thank you!
4️⃣ Probably the most important way you can support our family is by covering us in prayer! Please pray that God would provide the funds for our trip, and that he would prepare our hearts during this stage of anticipation. Pray for the people in Namibia that we will meet, that their hearts will be open to the love of Jesus as well.
If you have any questions or would like more information about the trip, please do not hesitate to call, text or private message us. Thanks so much for your support and consideration!
Blessings,
The DeZago Family
