This support letter is to the church. To the body of believers, gathered together and spread out across the nations. Wherever you are, we are united together through the blood of Christ, and we are joined together as the Church, the chosen people that Christ continually pursues. We are to help each other in life, to spread the gospel, whether it be going or sending out. I need the body of Christ to help send me to the nations, because the Lord has commanded me to go.

Dear Family and Friends,
I hope that this letter finds you well. I wanted to share with you about what the Lord has been doing in my life and the amazing opportunity he has blessed me with coming up. This past summer I had served at a camp in Andrews, NC called Snowbird Wilderness Outfitters. While being there I was challenged in my walk, encouraged by the community, and my faith not only grew but was strengthened. Something the Lord placed heavy on my heart while being their was overseas missions and since I have been home my heart for it has only grown. I had plans on going to college in Virginia next year, but the Lord wrecked those plans and I confidently believe he is calling me to go serve overseas.
In September of this year I am going to embark on a incredible journey with an organization called The World Race. For nine months I will be traveling the world with a little more than a tent, a pack, and a Bible. I will be going to Central America, South-East Asia, and Africa for three months each with a team of believers to go and share the Gospel of Jesus Christ. On the World Race, my team and I will serve in partnership with churches and ministries in local communities to preach the Gospel, work in orphanages, minister to women and children who are trapped in prostitution as a result of human trafficking, and bring the restoration and hope of God’s love across the nations.
As I reflect on my life over the last few years, It is so amazing and humbling to see how the Lord has worked through me. Where just a few years ago I threw out the idea of becoming an overseas missionary completely. I see it clear in Scripture that the Lord has commanded me to go though, and so I must act in obedience. Matthew 28:19-20; Acts 20:24; Romans 10:13-14; Galatians 6:9; and John 15;16. I know through the journey that God is going to mold me more into the image of Christ, he is going to bear fruit in my life, and he is going to reveal to me the reality of this World. I cannot contain my excitement as these months are fast approaching.
With Honduras, Graduation, and going back to serve at Snowbird this Summer I find my time here quickly coming to an end. I am confident The Lord is calling me to this ministry and I am confident that he will provide in all the ways necessary. Not only do I need prayer support as I prepare for this trip, but I also need financial support. It is my hope that you will consider partnering with me as I take this leap of faith. The total cost to cover my travel and living expenses over the nine months is 12,500.

My deadline for being half way funded is on May 2nd. I have about $4000 dollars raised and need $2000 more to reach this deadline. I need the help of my fellow believers, so if you can help send me, please be in prayer about it. If you have any questions or concerns please contact me. I know the Lord is going to provide through his people, and how awesome is it, that we get to be the hands and feet of the gospel! People will hear the gospel, and people will submit to its truth. People just need to hear it first, and they need us to tell it to them, I will go and tell it to them!
