My Missionary Tree

As you know, I am headed to 11 countries in 11 months on The World Race, a year long missions trip to share the love of Jesus around the world. In addition to funding support, it turns out I need a whole number of travel supplies. If you would like to help fund my mission, click “Support Me” to your right.

My very good friend Amanda, and fellow team member came up with the idea of a Missionary Tree.  It is kind of like a angel tree at christmas time, except it is a “tree” with other needs I have for this journey.  If you would like to help by buying an item listed below on my Missionary tree, please email me at [email protected] . Items in green are still needed. I work at Big 5 Sporting Goods Store and can get a discount on items with an asterisk by them. So, if you email me about these items, I will give you more information on them.

Thank you so much for all of your help and support.  Most of these items can be used or new, it really doesn’t matter to me.  I am so excited for this journey that God has blessed me to go on.  I really couldn’t do this without your support and help.  God has already provided so much, I know that he will continue to do so.  I hope that you continue to follow my blog and see what God is doing in the lives around the world.  Again, thank you.
