It has been almost 2 months since I have been back in America.
In that time I have been to California, Nevada, Georgia, North and South Carolina.
While in Georgia, Adventures in Missions put on an event called Project Searchlight for the racers returning home. The event was targeted to help us figure out what’s next in our journey.
So… What’s next for me?
In January I plan on moving to Gainesville, Georgia where Adventures In Missions is located and I am going to be apart of CGA.
What is CGA you ask? Keep reading and you will see.
Adventures In Missions, just started a new program in September called, “CGA” or Center for Global Action. Septemeber of this year was the very first semester that it has ever taken place. I will be starting up in the second semester in January.
I want to give you a little bit more insight into what CGA will look like exactly…
CGA has a couple different parts to the program. I’ll explain more and it'll help you understand a little bit of what the daily schedule will look like in the program.
Part of the program is designed to give the participants the opportunity to work in the AIM (Adventures In Missions) office. From 9am- 1pm, CGA participants are assigned to a specific department to work along side of the staff to help get things done. You don’t find out where you’ll be placed until a couple weeks into the program, but it could consist of many different areas. i.e. Kingdom Dreams Team, World Race, Church-2-Church, Admissions, Sales, etc.… We’ll each be placed in one of the departments to work each day.
From 2pm- 5pm we will be attending CGA classes. Basically it will consist of an intensive discipleship / leadership school on many different Christian topics such as “Spiritual Formation, Community Living, Kingdom, Understanding your call and Unlocking the creativity in you.”
During the time that we are attending CGA, there will also be many opportunities to go on short-term mission trips here in the states and also overseas. Part of the responsibilities of participants will be helping lead and facilitate these trips throughout the year. Personally I’m stoked about that! Then next summer, those still in the program will lead 2-4 month trips.
Now, this is where I need your help…
CGA participants are completely dependent on supporters to make this happen. We are all required to raise money to help put us through the program.
So to make this happen, like I said, I need you to partner with me. I have committed to being part of the program for 1 year at least. We will officially start the program in January. In 2 weeks I need to have at least $100 in my account to secure my spot. Before beginning the program I will also need to have 2 months of support, which is $1,200 before I start in January. Monthly, I’m going to need to raise $600 for 12 months. Total that comes to $7,200 for the entire year. When you really break it down, it isn’t that much. However, to make this possible, I need friends, family, churches, etc. to help support me for this year.
If you are interested in helping support me, please let me know! I would greatly appreciate it. There are several ways you can give.

I absolutely could not do this with each of you being part of this journey. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. If you’re interested in sitting down with me one-on-one to discuss this next chapter, I’d love that, too! Feel free to holler at me (702) 250-5730
Love ya,

P.S. I am home for 2 months and if you know of any odd end jobs to help me make some money also. That would be helpful.
