DANIELLE

Hi. My name is Danielle Gershon and I am a sophomore at Colorado Christian University.  I’m studying psychology, but still have yet to decide what I want to be when I grow up.  I love to be around people and to help out others in any way possible and that is one of the main reasons I have a desire to go to Uganda.  My hope is that God would rock my world through their culture and lifestyle.

I’m really excited that we are going to Uganda to create a soccer camp for young girls.  I have been passionate about soccer since I was a young girl and I now play for CCU.  This has been such a crazy journey, but I am extremely blessed to have this athletic ability.  There is always a feeling of freedom when I play soccer and it becomes my outlet to the stresses of life. My love for the game and healing from the Father has allowed me to go through three knee injuries and still be able to play!  I’m looking forward to seeing these Ugandan girls experience the same freedom and life through a game that they love.  This is something that they will be able to look forward to every year.  My hope is that this will become a tool to help share the gospel of Jesus Christ, another passion in my life.

My hope and prayer for this trip is that we can spread the Good News of Jesus Christ to Uganda, to people just like you and I, created in God’s image who are treasured and loved by our Father in Heaven.  My prayer is not that they will just hear the Gospel, but that their eyes will be open to the gravity of what it means to have our sins washed away in God’s sight, to have our dead souls lifted up into new life, to be redeemed.  I pray that through our ministry, they will experience love, freedom and life transformation like never before!

I am very excited for this trip and I’m looking forward to all that God has in store for us.  I know that the will do immeasurably more than we can ask or imagine, for His glory!  (Eph. 3:20, 21)

Thank you for your financial support and prayers.  It means the world to me!!!
