Fundraising story

Fund raising for Africa is always full of amazing stories. It is always hard to ask friends and family for money, but it is also about a lot more than just money. We really want to create partnerships where others can participate in our trips bringing more awareness and prayer where it is desperately needed. That said, we are always amazed to find see the funds come in when we need it most and least expect it.

Aaron has been struggling with fund raising and told a story of what can only be God's hand. Carla had been looking for photographs for a client for months and after much frustration decided to ask Aaron (our trip photographer) if he could take some pictures for the client. He is passionate about photography and has used his skills for the past few years with the ROCKHarbor Mexico team. The client loved the pictures and today he received a check that will cover the remainder of his fund raising for the Africa trip. This also allowed/forced him to get a business license and sellers permit which could be the start of a whole new career. Great work Aaron we all think your photography is amazing and are anxious to see where this new opportunity leads.
