Hey guys, really excited!

I’ve been approved to participate in the Walla Walla University Student Missions Program, so I have decided to take a year out from my college studies to engage in service. I am told my year as a missionary will be challenging and rewarding—the experience of a lifetime. I have accepted this assignment in the Student Missions program because I want to give my life to God for a year as I share His love with others. I am so excited about the possibility, and now I am growing in God as I face the fundraising challenge. There are several costs associated with this experience: travel costs, visa costs, mailing costs, living costs while I’m out, and the list goes on. Each year, the student missionaries are required to raise the money needed. We do that by working in the community for donations, asking for donations from mission supporters, working with our local churches for help, and by earning as much as we can in addition to the money given. The funds are used to get us to our location, to make sure we’re cared for while we’re there, and then to bring us home. A portion of the fundraised money ($500) goes toward training and support offered through the SM office. Any excess funds I raise help other SMs to go and provide emergency aid, as well as help support SMs in the field. Will you consider joining me in this by giving as generous a gift as you’re able? Any amount you share will be deeply appreciated! Each of us has a goal of $3,500. Donations will be deposited into the Student Missionary fund to help turn our dreams of being missionaries into the satisfaction that comes from serving others.
