Hello! What a joy to have you with me on this adventure:)

If you don't know me well, a few things about me are: I love being outdoors, pine trees are my favorite, I am the second oldest out of nine kids, and I am originally from a small town in Ohio.

The adventure the Lord has set before me has been one of trust and surrender. Learning to surrender my safety, my finances, my health and well-being, and desires. Laying what I have down for the nations and the people He has asked me to serve. And what a JOY it has been.

I will be serving in Egypt from early June into late August with a few other missionary friends, running a summer camp for orphaned children in the middle east, praying with them and showing them the joy of our faith. We will be working alongside the Missionaries of Charity religious sisters there in providing this opportunity for the children, as well ministering to the poor on the street on occasion.

As I humbly ask you to join my team, be aware of what’s to come, you will be prayed for, OFTEN! More than this, I pray that you may encounter the love of God through whatever this gift looks like, when you sow(give) financially into other missions, the graces the missionaries receive flow into your own life.

“I do not seek the gift, but I seek the fruit which increases to your credit.” Philippians 4:17

So as you prepare to give, prepare also to receive, for our God is never out done in generosity. For the summer I will need to raise $4,000 for the necessities, this includes the costs for:

• Travel(flights, rentals, etc)

• Food

• Visa costs

• Self-care

• Emergency savings

Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of Heaven, Jesus we trust in you!
