Support letter

My passion is working with Children! I have been involved in numerous children ministries since I was in 5th grade. Recently I became aware of child trafficking and this issue broke my heart and I instantly wanted to help. I began to pray and found an organization called Youth With A Mission (YWAM). I began to look into the organization and found out about a specialized Discipleship Training School (DTS) that they were hosting in Thailand that was focused on children at risk.  I prayed and prayed and finally applied and was accepted into the program.

On January 2, 2013 I fly out of Portland to Bangkok, Thailand to start this chapter in my life. The CAR (Children At Risk) DTS is built around God’s heart for children who are at risk. These are children who lack education and health resources, those who are poor and underprivileged, the orphan, street kids, those trafficked from their home nations, and really any child who does not know the love of Father God. I will spending three months receiving Bible training with regular times of worship, prayer, small group discussions, one-on-one discipleship, hands-on serving, and weekly outreach among our local communities. YWAM has teamed up with an organization called ARK international to help provide training geared at working with children at risk; specifically those that are at risk of trafficking My desire is to bring Gods unending love and dignity to these children. The next phase is where I will spend 2 ½ months  using the skills and training received to apply them in hands on ministry involving children. 

Please keep me in your prays leading up to my mission that I will get funding, and for safe travel. Also while in Thailand that I grow closer to God and for me to be attentive to his Spirit and every child I come in contact with.

My total fundraising goal is $8,000.00 including my airfare. This breaks down to around 1,300 per month while serving. I am currently at 39% funded.
