Hey y'all! I have been given the opportunity to go and share Christ's love with the Muslim & Ethiopian Orthodox people in the Oromo Region of Ethiopia this July with a group of young adults from Watermark Community Church. We are partnering with Ethiopian believers to build relationships, share Christ, and plant churches among an Oromo people group that don't know of Christ's love & redemption. 

I am so excited about this opportunity because the Lord has opened a door for me to step outside of my comfort zone and go share the love of Christ that has completely changed my life with people who are different than me yet are the same in our desperate need for a savior. The Lord has revealed His kindness to me in that He desires to use His people as His hands and feet - even though He doesn't need us and we are broken and imperfect - to be a part of the great work He is doing in our communities and across the world. And through this trip He is giving me the opportunity to live out Mark 16:15, "And he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation."

To make this trip possible I need your help! There are two ways that you can partner with me. First, and most importantly, will you join me in prayer? Please pray for our team (unity, safety & travel), that the gospel will be heard and received by the people we come into contact with and serve alongside, and that God will be glorified as a result of the service and prayer poured into this trip. Second, will you prayerfully consider giving financially and investing in this trip? If you feel led to give, know that I am beyond grateful and cannot thank you enough. I am fully trusting that the Lord will provide what is needed and am choosing not to allow the fear of raising support keep me from taking the step to say yes to this trip.

Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or want to know more of my heart in choosing to go on this trip. I would love to share with you how the Lord has transformed my life and why I believe He's asking me to go and serve the people in Ethiopia.

Thank you for praying about joining my team and supporting me in whatever way you feel led to do so!!
