Dear Family and Friends,

I want to share an exciting opportunity that God has placed in front of me and invite you to partner with me through prayer and financial support.

This fall, I have the opportunity to attend YWAM (Youth With A Mission). A few years ago, I heard about YWAM through friends at church, and after hearing their testimonies I was instantly inspired and desired to experience it too. Since then, my desire to attend, grow, learn, and serve through this program has only become greater. I can’t wait to see what God has for me on this journey!

I will be doing a program called Fire & Fragrance (FFX) in Nashville — a 5-month mission experience focused on growing deeper in relationship with Jesus while being equipped for outreach and missions. FFX is made up of two parts: Lecture and Outreach. Through this program, I will receive practical missions training, grow spiritually, and be sent out to reach people with the love and hope of Jesus.

The heart behind Fire & Fragrance is to train and activate people in their passions, skills, and in telling people about Jesus. I truly believe this season will strengthen my faith, challenge me to grow, and prepare me to serve others more effectively.

In order to attend, I need to raise $12,000 to cover tuition, housing, outreach expenses, food, and other mission-related costs. I am praying for a team of people who would partner with me financially and more importantly support me through prayer. Here are a few things you can be praying for:

* That I will grow into a deeper and stronger relationship with Jesus through this experience

* For wisdom, strength, and boldness during outreach

* For all the people we will meet and minister to

* For God’s provision throughout this jour

Thank you for taking the time to read this and for considering partnering with me. I am so grateful for your support and excited to see all that God will do through this experience! Please feel free to reach out, I would love to talk or meet up, and answer any questions I can that you might have.

With Love, Makenna  Potter
