Hey everyone.
So I'm Doug Wegman. I have been working with Andrew Vanover and Alison Gamble lately on plans for this coming summer. I am one of the new 2011 Summer Team Members to Africa and am so excited! I cannot wait to see what God has in store for me and for L4L this summer. ummm I guess I can start off with how God has led me here so far. I am a born again Christian. Became born again at the end of my freshman year/beginning of sophomore year and am currently a Junior right now at NCSU. Go Pack! I have known Andrew now for a year and a half or so...met him through a mutual friend and have really seen him as a motivational person in my life. After seeing everything that he has been doing I think he inspires me to bring the same effort and sacrifice to the table for God as he does. As a result I am involved with L4L and the 2011 Africa Team through knowing him.
I have to say that for the longest time I did not know what I was going to do this summer. I have no clue what I even want to do with my life...and i'm almost a senior! Gosh thats scary. But I know that I want to live a life led by God and not a life led by me with God in the background. I was originally planning on going to SE Asia this summer with another group based out of Atlanta, GA but I have realized that God sometimes opens doors just to close them soon after haha. Funny how he works sometimes... So since that door closed, this door has opened and I feel like God can use me in such better ways through L4L. The goal of this trip is amazing and I can not wait to be there.
Pray for me as this summer approaches. I will be sending out my support letters soon so pray that enough money will be raised to make this trip actually happen for me. Actually don't pray for me, but pray that this trip will happen for God and that he'll use me in the ways he sees fit. Yea do that. Pray for Andrew and Allison that they will be able to keep their sanity as this trip approaches haha. Doing school and working and planning a trip like such is very hard work and if they're reading this, your work does not go unnoticed so thank you so much in advance for everything y'all do.
I wonder what the response from people will be in Africa when they see a guy like me walking around who says "y'all" and "whats up" all the time, sometimes even in the same sentence....okay weird thought I know
Anywho, thank you all in advance for your prays and your support.
Jesus is awesome
Doug
