Hello Family and Friends!

GREAT NEWS! This year I am involved in School of Ministry with Cross Church. The School of Ministry is a one year program where I will be getting involved in some amazing events. With the School of Ministry, I have an opportunity to gain academic credits, to be able to travel around the world on mission trips, and best of all I get to learn more about God and what he's doing throughout these trips.

I'm blessed to be apart of the School of Ministry and with this church. I am working with the Cross Church young adult ministry in Springdale, Arkansas. It's been awesome to see how God has impacted these adults lives and how I get to help them grow. I will be heading down to Peru for my first out of country mission trip. I am pumped to see what God has planned for this year as I leave out of the country and to different states on mission trips.    

On this journey, I am asking for your help in two ways:

1. Pray. I would ask that you pray for me and how I handle this year. This will be my first mission trip out of the country and to different states. I ask that you pray for safety for me and the other students in School of Ministry as we fly and drive, but to also pray that we would be able to advance the gospel. Please pray that I stay focused in school and pray as I go through school this year. I ask that you also pray for the other students in School of Ministry who are going on different trips. Prayer is a power tool!

2. Give. As a part of my Cross Church School of Ministry experience, I have an opportunity to travel on mission trips. There are three mission trips that I will be going on throughout the year. The first mission trip is out of the country. I will be heading to Peru for my first. The next mission trips will be after Christmas. The trips will be in the states and we will be working with other church plants. The cities that we are going to where the church plants will be are Detroit, Phoenix, Salt Lake City, and a few others. I am raising money to cover the costs of my mission trips. The goal I need to reach is $5,000. This is a great opportunity and I would love for you guys to be a part of it. God is doing amazing things and I truly believe this what God has called me to do.

I thank you for the prayer and support. If there is any questions you have or you need more information, just let me know!
