Friends and Family! 

Thank you so much for taking the time to visit my purecharity page! 

I wanted to take a moment and share with you what I have been up to this past year. In August of 2019 I began the Cross Church School of Ministry after I had completed my undergraduate at the University of Arkansas. The CCSM is a one-year ministry residency where I gain “on the job” ministry experience, the opportunity to earn academic credit toward Seminary and travel around the globe on mission trips.

As someone that has undergone a season of listening, processing, and responding to God's call on my life to vocational ministry, I have no doubt that He has something very special laid out for me during this year of training. I have been working with Cross Church College at the Cross Church Fayetteville Campus. I will receive course credit towards my Masters of Divinity degree that I will continue on with at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. I have been blessed with the opportunity to travel to other continents and states during this unique year. In September of 2019, I ventured to Malawi, Africa where I spent two weeks working with a local ministry spending time with orphans, widows, and local pastors. In December of 2019, I made my way to Phoenix, Arizona where my fellow classmates and I worked with a young church plant in helping pull off a large community event to help engage families in the surrounding neighborhoods of their community. In February of 2020 I made my way to New Orleans, Louisiana where I and my classmates worked with a church planter in engaging the community, doing acts of service for people and neighborhoods, and just simply loved on people. (I have attached a photo from each of my trips.)

While I have already completed all of my trips, I am asking for your partnership and support in 2 ways:

Pray. Please be in prayer for me as I complete this year of residency. Pray that I will learn a lot thru the ministry experience and that God would use me in my current ministry as well as the ministry God has for me in the future. Pray for my classmates and I as we round out this special year and step into a new season of life.

Give. As a part of my Cross Church School of Ministry experience, I had the opportunity to travel on three mission trips. As mentioned above, I travelled to Malawi, Africa, Phoenix, Arizona, and New Orleans, Louisiana. 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 as noted below. If you feel led to give, please fill out the enclosed card and return in the envelope provided by April 30, 2020.

 If you have any questions, please let me know. 

 God Bless!
