Hello friends and family! As many of you know, I will be attending YWAM Kona this fall, starting October 1st! YWAM stands for “Youth With A Mission,” and it is an organization where young adults become better equipped to share the love of Christ with people throughout the nations! I will be doing the Endeavor DTS (Discipleship Training School) for 6 months, where I will be in Kona, Hawaii for three months, and in the nations for another 3 months!

During my time in Hawaii, I will be alongside other young adults where we will go through a training process to become equipped with deeper evangelism skills, and where we will deepen our knowledge and relationship with Jesus! After this phase, we will be sent into the nations for the next three months to share the love of Jesus with those who may not know Him, and those who may not have experienced the depth of His love before.

I am so excited to be a part of this ministry and experience, and I am so eager to dive deeper into my relationship with Jesus!

As I’m getting closer to leaving, I’m asking for your support and prayers over me. Although this will be one of the most life changing and amazing experiences of my life, it’s also going to be difficult in some ways. I’m asking for prayers over my heart, that the Lord will soften me and prepare my heart and mind over these 6 months, and over the lives of the people I will be reaching throughout my time away. And that my team and I will be kept safe and protected from any harm that may come.

Lastly, I am also fundraising in order to go on this trip. Unfortunately, travel and housing are not cheap! If you feel led to give, any amount is appreciated! My goal is to have $ 9,000 dollars raised by the time I leave for outreach in December!

There are many ways to give, whether it be a one time donation, or recurring. You can also give by check with the information below.

I am so thankful for this opportunity and can’t wait to see how the Lord impacts me and the lives of those around me!
