Hi everyone! So, to fill you in a bit more, almost two years ago I heard God calling me to trust Him, and to be willing and ready to go wherever He sends me. It has been a long process in order to get to the point where I am now, because the sense I was getting was that once He actually sent me, there was not going to be any returning to life as I once knew it. So now, I'm at the point where God has given me the place He wants me to go, which is - you guessed it - India! I can't tell you why it's India, because to be honest, it was not my idea (even though I have always wanted to visit). What I do know is that our heavenly Father has tremendous love for everyone, and that was why he sent His Son, Jesus, to bring His message of love, mercy, grace, forgiveness, righteousness, justice, truth and life and to set people of every nation free through his death and and resurrection! He has invited the people of every nation and tribe to be a part of His heavenly kingdom. I hope to share the love that God has poured on me with the people of India in hopes that they may come to know Christ our savior and our heavenly Father, and to be filled with His Holy Spirit so that they will not have to walk in darkness anymore, like I once did. I hope that you will consider praying for me and financially supporting me in order to go to India to share the good news about God's great love and sacrifice for us.

As you may have read in my email or letter, I plan to stay in India with at least one other person after the mission trip in order to continue sharing the gospel, and to see if there is a particular ministry that God wants me to be a part of long-term (I'm hoping it's with kids). It's funny that I'm going to a country I have never set foot in, and I don't even know what the end result will be, but God has given me clear directions that this is what He wants me to do, and he has given me complete peace about following though. So, if you decide to support me financially, I want you to know that a large part of the expense that will be going to my airfare will go well beyond just sending me there for a week since my return flight may be a month or more after I arrive January 23.

Finally, if you happen to know anybody who is involved with any type of charitable ministry, Christian or otherwise, please feel free to reach out to me in case there is a possibility of visiting them to help out with their efforts and to share the good news as I continue to seek God's will for my life. Thank you for taking the time to read and consider supporting me as I prepare to embark on this new and exciting chapter of my God-given life. May all the glory be His!
