"And Peter answered him, "Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water." He said, "Come." So Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water and came to Jesus." -Matthew 14:28-29. Like Peter, God has called me to step out of the boat and onto the waters of trust, obedience, faith, bravery, and boldness. In doing so, I will be a part of the Cross Church School of Ministry this year.

Throughout this next year in the School of Ministry, I will be blessed with many opportunities such as:

• I will be working full time at Cross Church Springdale in Missions Department and at the Compassion Center where I will have the opportunity to share the gospel around Northwest Arkansas, America, and the world, help those in need, and learn the in's and out's of a Christ-centered non-profit. 

• I will be going on three mission trips. One will be in Malawi, Africa, and the other two will be here in North America. These mission trips will allow me to advance the gospel, help those in need and to just simply be a part of the lives of so many people.

• I will also be going to class every week and graduate this year with over 25 credit hours in seminary towards my masters degree.

I am asking for your help in two ways:

1) Pray! Please lift me up in prayer as I step out of the boat and begin this journey on the path that God has called me to. I ask that you pray for God to use me in unimaginable ways, for wisdom and discernment for God's will in my life, for the church as a whole, and against the spiritual warfare that will come as well.

2) Financially. I have a goal of $6,500 that will help cover the cost of the three mission trips, educational expenses, and the advancement of the gospel in Northwest Arkansas, America, and the world! Every donation helps and is important and will enable me to be present and help others in need.

God has blessed me with this incredible opportunity and I would like to invite you to share in this excitement with me! I am beyond grateful for your love and support and will keep you informed about my progress throughout this year! Thank you so much for supporting me and being a part of my life.
