I am excited to say I have 5 more days until I leave for this journey that God has placed on my heart.  Thanks to my community, family, friends, mentors, and strangers I have reached my financial goal for the trip.  If anyone continues to donate the money will be used for things I need on the mission field.  I am without words to say because without the help from everyone I would not be able to take this journey.  The Lord is going to use me through this journey and also use you.  I am going to be on the field but could not have done it without you all.  Please constantly pray for me, my team, my leaders, adventures in missions, the people we serve, and my family through this.  Pray for my growth with the Lord through this and others growth as well.  I pray through this that you all will grow closer to God as well.  If God calls you to do something, step out and trust Him.  I know God is in this and has called me to do it.  God has a plan and purpose for you as well.  I pray you seek Him and do what He has set before you.
