My name is Kaccey, I am 18 years old, and I attend Olivet Nazarene University in Illinois. Since the age of 12, God has placed a remarkable passion in my heart for Romania. This calling began when I attended a youth conference known as “Aquire the Fire”, where a group called Global Expeditions talked to hundreds of teens about various mission projects that they could partake in. While flipping through a catalog, my attention was drawn to one page in particular, and I felt my heart breaking for the stories that I read covering Romania. As time went on, God continued to point me in the direction of missions with Romania, and it almost seems as if he refused to let me get away from the idea. Romania continued popping up everywhere, and the more I prayed about it, the more I could feel God speak to me through his word, through other individuals, and through countless circumstances. I have been involved in many mission outreaches right where I am, including helping out at Homeless Missions (located in Michigan) Soup Kitchen, S.O.S. (save our streets), which is an outreach at my College that helps homeless and less fortunate families around the Chicago area, and even doing minor activities such as planting flowers at my church districts campgrounds, and raking leafs for elderly individuals. My heart aches to help those who need to see God, who need to hear about God, and who need to turn their lives to God.

God provided schooling for my first year, in a miraculous way. At last minute, my schooling was completely paid for, and to this day I praise God for the many works he’s done, and will continue to do in my life. I didn’t quite understand why God was allowing me to attend my awesome College, and I thought that perhaps , since nothing about Romania had came up, God’s plan for my life with Romania was simply to pray for them, or maybe even consider adopting a Romanian baby after marriage- and to just focus on school for now. But as I continued to seek God in every aspect of my life, and this passion he had placed on my life, I felt like he was telling me to “go”. Finally, a door opened up at a mission’s conference my College was holding. I had never heard of any opportunity to go to Romania, other than the one I had heard about from Global Expeditions six years ago. The conference had several different stands that had information on upcoming missions trips around the world. As I stumbled upon the stand with Romania, I felt the Holy Spirit. I spent the next few weeks praying, seeking God. If this wasn’t truly in his plans, I wanted nothing to do with it. Although I was so sure that Romania is where God wanted me, if it wasn’t his timing, my prayer was that he would completely shut any doors, and make it clear to me that this is not where he wanted me right now. Just the opposite happened, as God seemed to be opening up door after door. I got a message from the main person leading the Romania Missions Trip, telling me I had been accepted into the program. Not only that, But Romania continued to be the only thing I could hear about for the next two weeks. If I turned on the radio, something about Romania would pop up, If I turned on the TV, something about Romania would pop up, If I was looking something up online, an ad for something in Romania popped up. I have never felt God speak to me through his word and prayer, the way I have these past two months. I feel so strongly in my heart, that this is where God wants me.

Not too long after I got the acceptance letter into Romania, I also got my letter for the Miss. Junior Michigan Pageant. The pageant just so happened to be on the same dates as the trip. I felt God questioning me: was I going to choose the beauty and fame and the sense of having everything, or the internal beauty and the sense of having nothing. I have come to understand, that in order to serve God, we have to completely lose everything of this world, to gain everything from God, and I firmly believe that this situation really helped me understand how God works. God showed me that in Romania, I won’t have all the beautiful and wonderful things that I have here. And I think that was a true stepping stone for me- to realize that I can’t live a double life- wanting to help those who have nothing, yet filling my own life with riches of this world. I want my life to be all about God, all about serving, not all about Kaccey.

I don’t know how God is going to get me to Romania, but I do believe that if he wants me there, I will be there. He has never failed to provide, and I refuse to question him, or doubt his capabilities now. I know that he has undeniably placed a passion for Romania in my heart, and I firmly believe he is going to use me for his glory on this trip. I am continuing to pray and seek him, knowing that in all things I do, I want to honor him, and bring his name the glory.

Isaiah 6: 8 Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying,”Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I. Send me!”

Kaccey

Now, she needs our help to go. The cost for this trip is $3000.00 and she just has a matter of a few weeks to raise that amount. This was not a situation where she came to us for help, but an instance where God put together yet another piece of the plan for Kaccey. If Godbeat stands for anything, it stands for allowing young people to flex the calling on their lifes. Music, art, song writting or missions work, this is what we want to support.

We are asking you to help us send Kaccey to Romania. Maybe you have $5.00 you can send, maybe you have $20.00, maybe you have the entire amount need. Regardless of how much you have, lets be a part of Gods plan in Kaccey’s life.
