Thank you for all of the sweet messages and comments on my blogs. I am beyond grateful for the amount of support from you, my friends and from strangers. I am thankful for people who reach out wanting to know more and for praying for me! I am also thankful that I am done raising money for CGA!
In a couple weeks I will be going back to Lesvos to work with refugees again. Then come late January I will be heading to the Middle East with FAI or Frontier Alliance International. I have been accepted into FAI’s Emmaus School of Ministry, which is a three months immersion into ministry in the Middle East, North Africa and the Mediterranean Basin. I will be learning from the organizations leadership about exposure, apprenticeship through mentoring and immersion in the Middle East. I will be serving in hands-on ministry with 14 other individuals who have been accepted. My hope is to serve long term and this opportunity and program will help to familiarize myself in the culture and countries I want to serve in.
I would love to answer questions and talk with you about this program. I would also love and need prayer. Please continue praying for me as I prepare for the mission field again. Please be praying for my family to have peace while I am gone. Please pray for wisdom as I walk into a completely different culture and for guidance in this season.
I would also love for you to prayerfully consider donating towards my trip. I worked my last shift at the coffee shop and will be spending time with family before I leave. Other than my airfare, all funds are to be handed in at time of arrival which is in late January.
Breakdown of costs needed:
Total: $5,700
Tuition for Emmaus School of Ministry: $1,000
Three months room and board, ground expenses and travel: $4,700
