"Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations." Psalm 100:4-5
I just wanted to take moment to express how thankful I am to have such amazing people supporting me in this new chapter of my life! I am so blessed to be at 72% funded right now, my heart is overwhelmed with gratitude. I have received donations from people all over the country and God just continues to amaze me with His faithfulness. He has more than doubled my support in about a month and a half. It's been such an incredible testimony to His goodness and I am so excited to be a part of it! Thank you so much to all who have given, both financially and prayerfully. I am so blessed by your contribution to my trip. I would not be able to go to the nations without your love and support. It truly means a lot to me and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I can't believe it's here already! I packed up most of my bag yesterday. Monday, I drive down to Portland, ME and early Tuesday morning I fly out to North Carolina where I will be picked up by one of my squad mates. Another squad mate will be meeting us there and then we get to make our way to launch in Atlanta the next day. By the 4th, we will be reunited with our entire squad! We will have a launching ceremony, a few more training videos/lectures, and then in the next few days following that my squad and I will be flying to Thailand!!!!! It's so crazy and so real and so absolutely exciting all at the same time! So please be in prayer for my squad and my team as we all embark on this wild adventure together.
Speaking of which, I would like to introduce you to my team! Meet TEAM MOSAIC!!!
Here is my team of radical Jesus freaks. 🙂 I have not gotten to know them a whole lot over training camp, but I know that they love the Lord and I am so excited to get to know them even more over the next 11 months. We chose the name mosaic because a mosaic is a piece of art usually made from broken or small pieces of different colored glass etc. As a group, we are all individually broken. We each have taken different paths which have brought us to that brokenness, some of us might not even realize we are broken yet, yet all these paths have brought us here before the Lord. But even in our brokenness, God can take our broken pieces and turn them into something beautiful. He can make a beautiful mosaic out of us by combining our broken pieces together. (The video at the end shows such a great example of this) I cannot wait to see how He does it or what it looks like! Please be in prayer for my team. Pray for unity and protection. I am so excited to be on this adventure with these lovely ladies!

Fundraising Update! As many of you know, my goal was to be fully funded by the time I leave the states. God has already provided $11,130 for my trip and i have no doubt in my mind that He can raise the last $4,370 in these next few days. I have until around the 4th of July to meet this goal. That leaves me with a minimum of 5 days to raise this support. Would you consider partnering with me on these journey? Please take this to the Lord in prayer. Allow me to be your advocate. The Lord is calling me to go to the nations, is He calling you to help send me? Thank you for all of your support and prayers. They truly do mean a lot!
"I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus." Philippians 1:3-6
