Hi Just wanted to say thanks again for your support while I was on the race. The Lord did amazing things!Just wanted to give you guys an update on what I’ve decided to pursue this fall and invite you to be a part of it.
In January I was accepted to a leadership training school called G42 in Spain. I have thought a lot about attending this school and have decided to pursue going to it this September. The school starts September 10th and goes through May. It’s a 9 month program designed to grow students in Leadership, kingdom life style and community. I have grown a lot in all 3 of these areas over the last two years and desire to spend one more season intentionally learning and growing in these areas along with seeking the Lord for what’s next.
The first 3 months of the school take place in Mijas, Spain. We will have class 5 days a week with different guest speakers from all over the world. Two of the phrases from the school that I’ve heard a lot are “living Loved” and “living as Christ with skin on”. On the race last year a big shift in my walk with the Lord happened when I started living/serving from a revelation that I was loved by him (relationship) vs out of fear of him (religion). Since then I have walked into so much more freedom and have seen that there is so much more of an overflow of the Lords Love in my life that I get to give to others. I would like to spend the next season diving even deeper into this revelation knowing that it will continue to impact my life and in turn overflow to others that I’m around.
The second 3 months we will be serving at a practicum site where we will have the opportunity to put into practice things that we have learned in class. We will be placed at a site that best fits the gifting’s the Lord has given us. This could look like going to Africa and serving in a refugee camp, leading a short term mission’s trip for college students, going back to the states to help start/ run a table group (this is basically a house church) etc . We will get to learn from others already at the sites and also help pioneer new ideas.
For the last 3 months of the school we will be back in Mijas, Spain processing the practicum looking at things that went well, things we could grow from and looking towards the future and how to implement things we’ve learned over the course of the school into what’s next. The goal being to bring kingdom where ever we go whether it is in the work place, long term missions, the non-profit world or something else.
My Heart:
I have a desire to see people break free from depression, addiction, shame and step into a relationship with the father where they can be transformed by the Love and the Grace that he has towards them. I have a heart to go where not many want to walk (Middle East, bars, the street with the homeless, red light districts, skate parks etc) and believe that he goes to great lengths to reach out those in these places because they are worth it! I want people to know they are loved and seen by the father and that they aren’t forgotten by him. I also have a passion for member care within the body of Christ. I want to see people step into healing from their past into freedom/ wholeness, to be refreshed, renewed and encouraged in the mission field (the world). I would like to go into full time ministry at some point in the future and would love to continue in wilderness ministry along with working in social work and possibly in a medical field. My heart is to invest in going to this school now to be better equipped for a life time of spreading the gospel and seeing his children walk in the freedom/ wholeness. I would like to invite you to pray about partnering with me in this journey to invest in what the Lord is doing in my life and those I get to point to Jesus.
Financially: I need to raise 3,800 before I can attend the school in September and need a total of 9,800 to cover the school. If you would like to partner with me this way you can make a one time or monthly donation.
*To break it down: If I could get 10 people to make a $50 a month donation for 10 months and 5 people to make a $100 a month donation for 10 months I would be fully funded.
*All donations are Tax deductable

Prayer:
- Right now I could use prayer for my ankle. That it would be completely healed before September.
- Prayer for opportunities to be able to follow up with people I met on the race in Europe and Jordan
- Prayer that the Lord would be preparing our hearts for what he has for us (G42 interns) to receive this season at the school
- Prayer for the last month and a half I have left in the Vail Valley. I have been able to see the Lord work in amazing ways and can’t wait to see what he has in store for the last month.
