Hello Friends and Family!

I wanted to take a moment and share with you what I am doing over this next year. In August, I started Cross Church's School of Ministry program which is a one year residency designed to equip me with hands on ministry experience, the opportunity to earn academic credit, and travel around the globe on mission journeys.

My primary focus is on young adults in the Northwest Arkansas area, and I am working along side Cross Church's young adult's ministry, The Social. The Social has played a pivotal role in my own walk with the Lord and has provided much needed godly community for me since graduating college. The year is already off to a great start, and the Lord is continually preparing me for full-time ministry!

As I embark on this journey, I am asking for your partnership in 2 ways:

1. Pray. Please be in prayer for me as I journey through this year. Pray that I will continually find confidence and strength in the Lord as I learn to navigate full-time ministry. Pray that the Lord will remove any idols in my life and will use me to reach others for His glory. Pray for safety for my classmates and me as we travel across the world over the course of this year. 

2. Give. Part of my Cross Church School Ministry experience allows me to travel on three mission trips over the course of the year. I will be going to New York, New Orleans, and Brazil in partnership with our church plant partners. While there, we will spend our time encouraging the church leaders, engaging with the community, investing in leader development, and evangelizing. To cover the total costs of the trips, I need to raise $5,250. This is a journey the Lord has called me to, and I appreciate any partnership donation! All gifts are tax deductible when given, and All donations go directly to Cross Church. If you would like to send donations either by cash or check, please reach out to me personally, and I will give you those details! 

Thank you for your prayers and support! I will keep you updated on all the things the Lord is teaching me throughout my school year. Please, feel free to reach out anytime, I'd love to answer any questions!
