Hello Friends and Family!

I wanted to take a moment and share with you what I am doing for the next year. In August I moved to Northwest Arkansas to attend the Cross Church School of Ministry. The CCSM is a one-year ministry residency where I gain "on the job" ministry experience, the opportunity to earn academic credit, and travel around the globe on mission trips. 

This year is going to be great as God prepares me for ministry. I am focusing on Children's Ministry at the Cross Church Pinnacle Hills Campus. I will also receive course credit towards my Elementary Education degree. And, I will be traveling on 3 mission trips. I am excited about what God has in store!

As I embark on this journey, I am asking for your partnership in 2 ways:

1)   Pray. Please be in prayer for me as I journey through this year, as I study and complete assignments for my classes. Pray that I will learn a lot through the ministry experience and that God would use me in ministry. Pray for my classmates and me as we travel on the various mission trips.

2)   Give. As a part of my Cross Church School of Ministry experience, I have the opportunity to travel on three mission trips. I will be traveling this fall internationally to Peru and after Christmas, I will be traveling to two cities to help with new church plants. The list of possible cities includes: Phoenix, Pittsburg, Salt Lake City, Toronto, Ann Arbor, Detroit, and a few others. I am raising money to cover the costs of my mission trips which is $5,000. This is a journey God has called me to and I appreciate any partnership donation. All gifts are tax deductible when given. All donations go directly to Cross Church If you would like to send donations either by cash or check, please reach out to me personally and I will give you those details!

Thank you for your prayers! I will keep you updated throughout my school year as to the training and experience I am getting at the Cross Church School of Ministry. If you have any questions, please let me know.
