My first international mission trip!  

I am excited to be serving with a mission team from Cross Church this fall from October 3 - 11.  This opportunity will be my first out of the country to help others and I invite you to share in this excitement with me!  

We are going to be helping three churches being planted in the Wenceslau Braz area of southern Brazil. There will be evangelism and discipleship activity to grow and strengthen those churches. This will include training church leaders in lay ministry and caring for the poor of the communities through food distribution.

I am asking for your help in two ways:

1)  Pray! This is the most important and essential way you can help me. Please pray for the Brazilian people to open their hearts to the Truth, our local missionary contacts as they organize and prepare for our arrival, safety and financial provision for each team member, and spiritual strength throughout our entire journey. Just knowing that you will be praying for me will give me strength throughout this entire process and journey.

2)  If you feel led to support this trip financially, I would be grateful. Each member needs to raise about $2,400 to cover the cost of the trip. This is a journey that God has called me to and any donation would be most appreciated!  That amount will be used to help pay for travel, lodging, and meals during the trip.

Every donation to this fundraiser is considered tax deductible. I also ask you to share this with others who may want to participate.  This is a tremendous opportunity to bring life change to this area of Brazil and grow the kingdom for His glory!  I plan to provide updates on social media about the mission during and after the trip.

Thank you so much for your prayers and support. 

Yours in Christ!
