18 months, 12 countries, and $26,209 later my time with Adventures in Missions ended on March 13th. While I am still in the midst of processing such a transformational season of life, I am writing to give you a quick update on my time the last six months and thank you for making the last two years possible.

Me & my fellow Fellows on our Graduation night. 

Soon after the World Race I moved to Gainesville, GA where I worked at the Adventures in Missions headquarters. Through the six month Adventures Fellowship Program I applied what I learned on the World Race to the work environment, discovered new passions and skills and utilized my past professional experience to strengthen programs at Adventures. Here is a brief overview of what I did and the impact of my work on others and myself.  

  • Utilized skills to develop strong organizational foundations for Adventures in Missions by leading Beauty for Ashes in a strategic planning process and developing curriculum for courses
  • Through Beauty for Ashes retreats, trainings, and programs I discovered my desire to help women walk in the fullness of who they were created to be
  • Taught & mentored others to discover their unique purpose through reflecting on their stories, identifying their uniqueness, casting vision for their lives, and taking the right next step  
  • Clarified my desire to encourage people towards intimacy with the Father through coaching, hospitality, and writing

What’s Next?

I am now home in Illinois spending time with family and will move to central Illinois next week to begin a temporary full-time position with my church. This summer I will move back to Seattle, WA and currently seek positions within Higher Education.

Funding

Although the Adventures Fellowship Program is finished, I am still not fully funded. With only $390 needed, a little bit goes a long way! Please consider giving a one-time tax-deductible donation. Any amount helps and I’ll easily be fully funded if:

  • 2 people give $100
  • 2 people give $50 and
  • 3 people give $25

If able to give in any amount please click the “SUPPORT ME” link on the left side of the page.

I want to thank you all for not only being a part of my journey, but for making this last two years possible. I am so grateful for your encouragement, wisdom, and generosity during this time. I look forward to what is in store for all of us!
