My name is Lauren, and I have a heart to see people, especially the next generation, encounter the love of Jesus, know who they are in Christ, and discover the purpose God has placed on their lives. Through serving in daycare, as a teacher assistant and teacher aide, after-school programs, summer camps, and youth ministry, God has continually shown me how much He cares about young people and how powerful it is when someone simply says yes to investing in their lives.

Now, God is opening the door for me to take that calling a step further. I will be attending a Discipleship Training School with Circuit Riders, where I will go through both a lecture phase and an outreach phase. During the lecture phase, I will be trained, discipled, and equipped in areas such as evangelism, discipleship, worship, biblical teaching, and sharing the Gospel. My desire is to grow deeper in my relationship with Jesus and become better equipped to carry His love and truth to others. I believe this training is preparing me to be sent not just to learn, but to go.

I need to raise $2,300 by September 18th for my lecture phase. After completing the lecture phase, I will enter the outreach phase, where I will be sent to different places around the nation to share the Good News of Jesus and put into practice the tools and training I received. I need to raise an additional $3,000 for the outreach phase. This is an opportunity for me to step outside of my comfort zone, trust God, and be obedient to His call to go and make disciples.

I am also looking for people who would prayerfully consider becoming monthly supporters of my ministry journey. As I travel and serve, monthly support will help provide necessities such as housing, food, and gas. But more than financial support, I am asking for people who will stand with me in prayer. I need a team of people praying for the people I will encounter, for open doors to share the Gospel, for wisdom and boldness, for provision, and for God to move in every place He sends me. When you partner with me, you are not simply helping fund a trip you are joining me in the mission of sharing Jesus.

I truly believe that God can use one “yes” to impact countless lives. If you feel led to give, pray, or become a monthly partner, I would be incredibly grateful to have you standing with me in this season. Every prayer, every gift, and every person who chooses to partner with me is part of the story God is writing. I am stepping forward in faith, trusting that God will provide everything I need and believing that lives will be changed through the Gospel.

Thank you for believing with me, praying with me, and helping send me wherever Jesus calls me to go. ❤️

Lauren
