Hey y'all! I have been blessed with the opportunity to go on three mission trips over the next several months, as a part of my time with Cross Church's School of Ministry! Along with others, I will be traveling to Tanzania, New York City, and New Orleans over the next year.

The first trip will be to Tanzania, and is from November 1-10. Myself, three other students, and two pastors from Cross Church will be traveling to the city of Same and participating in a pastors conference there. It is both a blessing and an honor to be able to go on this trip, as it is a chance to pour into the pastors and church leaders in the country and be able to help them continue to spread the Gospel in their communities.

Then, in December, the School of Ministry as a whole will be traveling to New York City to assist in a church plant there as well as a pastors conference. This will be an amazing chance to equip and encourage pastors of Spanish speaking churches in one of the largest cities in the world!

Lastly, we will be traveling to the city of New Orleans to assist and serve at a church in the French Quarter pastored by Justin Haynes. While there we will be doing a variety of things to serve the community, encourage the pastor and his family, and many other ways of reaching a city that is filled with spiritual warfare.

I ask that as I prepare for and go on these mission journeys, that you partner with me through prayer and encouragement. Pray that the Lord will work in not only all the lives we will reach on these trips, but also in my own life and the lives of all the other students going on these trips. Also, I'd ask that you pray and consider donating to help fundraise these trips. Every gift whether big or small is greatly appreciated and will be used to help spread the Gospel across the globe. Thank you in advance for all your prayers, and feel free to reach out at any time!
