We are so grateful you landed on our missions fundraising page!

There are so many who are vital to the good work we are able to do in our lives, and we are very thankful. You are a living example of God’s goodness.

We love being “on mission” in Dallas by sharing the hope that is found in Christ and serving and loving those in our city. Before we go and serve others in different lands, we always want to be cognizant that we are “practicing what we preach” in our own home.

So, what’s this all about?

We are sharing and offering a way to partner with us in an exciting short term discipleship trip (also known as mission trip) that we have been invited to go on. As you may know, we have been serving and leading in a Young Adults (20s-30s) Ministry at Watermark Community Church called the Porch for a combined 10 years, and a small group of us has been invited on this unique opportunity.

In November of this year, we will be heading to the Holy Land—Israel! We will spend time hiking the 40-mile Jesus Trail and along the way we will minister to the people who live in this region and provide evangelism and discipleship to those we encounter. We will also spend several days hosting an eyeglass clinic, serving the community through a kids camp and helping the local church where they are starting and/or strengthening simple mission churches.

So, how can you partner with us?

Firstly, we would love your prayers. What a powerful gift that is often underrated and hard to even grasp sometimes, but we know our good Father hears us and desires relationship with his children. It’s often said that “when man works, man works. When man prays, God works.”

Secondly, there is absolutely no pressure, but you are welcome to consider supporting us via the following financial avenues:

1.     Ever wanted to give someone a specialized, uplifting and slightly pun-ny greeting card in which the profits went to something meaningful? Well to help raise support for our trip in a uniquely Sylv and Cody way, we have spent months creating StickFigCards to help folks #StickTogether. The “FUNdraising Greeting Card Pack” is now available in which you can purchase 3 unique greeting cards with different themes (thankfulness, encouragement and birthday). Head to www.StickFigCards.com to view and purchase. Happy giving!
