Phatman's Drumming Missions!

Who Am I?
My name is John Parker, freelance drummer and educator in Wichita, Kansas. I believe that God has endowed every person with a love for music. Whether playing, dancing, or listening, music causes an emotional and physical reaction within our souls. God has blessed me with the ability to make a career bringing music to people via the drums. As a performer, educator, and author, my passion is sharing the joy of music with people throughout the Wichita area.
The Opportunity
My family and I have been invited by Jimmy Dinsmore, missionary to Guatemala to come to his mission and teach local drummers how to play drums for worship services. There are several churches in the San Fransisco, Peten region that have drums, but no one to play them. I would go down for a week over Spring Break (March 13-19, 2016), to hold classes and teach drums. This would be an amazing opportunity to fulfill Phatman Drums' mission in a global scale!
The Costs
While Jimmy and his family have graciously offered to open their home to my family, there are some rather large travel expenses to deal with. So far, plane tickets will cost upwards of $2,000 and passports will cost $375. I've set the goal for the campaign at $3,000 to allow for additional costs that might arise.
