Hey all. 

This past year, Jesus has been working on me. He's shown me some areas of my life that I've held back from him, and one glaring area is my comfort. Painfully, I've realized that I've wasted years of my life chasing relaxation and luxury while giving no care to the stakes of the countless souls around me who don't know Jesus. In His mercy, God has been calling me to understand the real reason he gave me life: so I'd know him and make him known, and while it's been a hard lesson, it's also been incredibly rewarding. I've discovered an indomitable joy in following our Lord that I'd never known existed, and I'm now more thankful than ever to be one of his people and to have the privilege in participating in the work he's doing.

As part of his amazing grace, God has opened the door for me to share his Gospel with the people of Ethiopia this coming June. I'll be going with e3 Partners and Watermark Community Church, and we'll be partnering with Ethiopian Christians to do children's VBS & men and women's outreach. The goal is to build relationships, share Jesus with people who have never heard his name, and help e3 in their mission of planting churches within the unreached peoples of the Arsi Oromo.

Your help is needed for this mission. First, we need your prayers for the spiritual battles that are coming. Second, we need your help in covering the cost for this mission.

The total cost for the trip is $3950. Would you prayerfully consider joining our team and investing in this project? Most of this amount is due March 15th. 

You guys mean so much to me, and it's really an honor to know you. Thanks so much for praying about joining our team. 

Love,
Ben
