Bradford and Powell, both 20, of Warsaw, set up the stand outside Eagle Creek Farms Market in Winona Lake. They raised $475 during Tuesday’s lemonade stand.
They leave for the 2-1/2 week trip Thursday and will return June 3. They are participating in the missions trip with Goshen Christian Church.
Bradford will be a junior in the fall at University of Indianapolis and is studying nursing. Powell will be a junior at Indiana University-Purdue University and is studying education.
They will serve as missionaries at Eden Children’s Village in Zimbabwe, a village that houses orphans who have AIDS. The village also partners with a school and health clinic.
Powell will work in the school teaching music classes, and Bradford will work at the clinic to assist HIV patients and burn victims.
Bradford and Powell learned about the missions trip through a camp counselor at the church they attend, New Hope Freewill Baptist Church, Warsaw.
Powell came up with the idea for the lemonade stand.
They began collecting funds last June and have gotten funds from family and church members.
They also saved money from their jobs to help pay for plane tickets. Powell works at MudLove, and Bradford works at Greenwood Park Mall in Indianapolis.
At Tuesday’s lemonade stand they raised enough funds for their housing while they are in Zimbabwe.
It will be Bradford’s first missions trip, while Powell previously went on a missions trip in Haiti in 2011 with Convoy of Hope, a humanitarian organization from Missouri.
Bradford and Powell thanked the community for their support in donating funds at their lemonade stand.
“It’s important to share God’s love and I felt he led me to this trip and I knew God wanted me to go on this trip,” Bradford said.
Powell said her job at MudLove has taught her about giving.
“It has taught me to give of myself through time and energy and I feel like I’ve been called to serve and love other people,” Powell said.
“When this opportunity came open I thought it was a way to love and serve others in another country,” Powell said.
Powell said she and Bradford prayed together that they would have servant hearts.
They plan on doing a presentation on their trip at their church camp when they return in June.
