These last few months have been kind of a blur for me. Ukraine was by far one of my favorite months, in that not only do I have family from there but I also a dore the people. We had a hot shower, a flat to ourselves, awesome contacts and then there were the markets… oh yeah. Fresh fruits, veggies, cheeses, etc. Coming into Moldova, we were immediately aware of the difference between the two. Moldova (in between Romania and Ukraine) is the poorest country in Europe.
We are now living in a home with a young man from our church, complete with outhouse, and a well about a quarter mile down the road. It is COLD. We do ministry in the villages, mostly programs for the children. I enjoy it but at the same time I find myself becoming all the more aware that something more is just around the bend. The Race is almost at it’s completion. In two short weeks I will once again step foot on American soil and return home, but I hope, a different person than the one who left.
I have seen the orphaned, the neglected, the poor, the oppressed, and the hopeless. The past year my team has been bringing HOPE to the NATIONS. We have taught English, remodeled buildings, worked in Care Points, done sports camps, worked with street children, ministered to college students, and so much more.
The next part of my life will be just as exciting as this last season because God is in it with me. He has ordained my steps and it is He who will see to it that I do His will for my life…. So that being said.
I have been accepted to attend G42 Leadership School in Mijas, Spain for six months!! G42 is a Christian leadership academy that helps young people realize the dreams that God has given them and put those dreams into reality. My dream is to fight for human rights and prevent genocide. God is a God of social justice and He has placed it upon my heart to fight for this, and give the world the hope that only Jesus can bring. This school will help me turn that dream into a reality. I am so excited and I can’t wait to share everything I’ve learned on the Race.

That being said, I have another FAVOR to ask all of you, my amazing supporters. I need to raise around $8,000 ($6,000 for the school and $2,000 for plane ticket, travel, etc.) in order to attend this school. I know that God can provide in BIG ways and I am praying for a MIRACLE of sorts. I am praying and hoping that by the time I celebrate Thanksgiving with my family in 19 days I will be FULLY FUNDED to go to G42. I know that God is a God of provision and abundance, so I can fully rely on Him to provide for me. Would you consider helping me further my training so I can change the lives of people all over the world.
