In Granada, Nicaragua                                                                                                                       
Dear Friends,
I want to thank you all for your prayers and support over the past few years. After being a parrticipant with the World Race in 2007 the Lord
has lead me on a journey beyond my expectations.  The summer of 2008 I was privileged to lead a college-aged trip with Adventures in Missions (AIM) to Swaziland, Africa and then following that, to lead a 9 month trip to Granada, Nicaragua.
I have been challenged and stretched in what it means to be a leader and to serve with humility. I have seen the Lord’s heart for the young adults of our nation and what it means to be a radical disciple of Christ. I have had the joy of seeing participants learn to walk in their identities in Christ, to abandon all that they have known to follow the Lord, and to be the hands of feet of Jesus to the nations.

Since I was young I have had a heart for missions and over the past few years I have developed a heart for discipling young adults of our nation. The Lord has opened doors for me to combine all of these passions and to come on staff with Adventures in Missions as a full-time Real Life leader. Over the next few years I will be on staff with AIM leading trips for participants ages 18-24. I’ll have the opportunity to lead trips to a variety of locations such as Swaziland, South Africa, India, Philippines, Peru, Romania, Ireland, Uganda, among others.

This fall I will be going to Matamoros, Mexico to lead a team for 8 weeks with the Novas Project. Beyond that I will go wherever AIM needs me to be.   I will be spending most of the year out in the field with the Real life teams and will be spending a few months each year stateside. I am very excited about what the future holds, and I am humbled by the ways that I have seen the Lord’s hand in this.  

Would you consider partnering with me on this adventure? Because AIM is a faith based mission, it is necessary that I raise financial support to continue what the Lord has called me to do. I need to raise $1650 a month to do so. I ask that you prayerfully consider supporting me on a monthly basis.   If I had 17 people give $100 a month or 33 people give $50 a month then my goal would be met. Whether it is a few dollars or $500 everything is greatly appreciate. I understand that not everyone is at a place to give monthly; perhaps God is leading you to give a one-time gift to support me in this ministry. All donations are tax deductible and may be made by clicking on the “support me” link on the left hand side of my blog. I am learning to step out in faith and trust that the Lord will meet my needs.

Just as much as I need your financially support I need your prayers. Would you also considers partnering with me in prayer. Please pray that the Lord would work in the hearts of these young adults as they reach out to the nations, that I would continue to grow in my walk with the Lord, and that I would be bold in sharing Christ in the nations.

                       God Bless
