Help Fund My Missions Trip to Manila!
Donation protected
Hello friends!This summer I will be a part of a team of about 17 from my church and college ministry in the Tampa Bay area flying across the world to spend a month diving into the lives of the poor in Manila Philippines. (Check out our website here).
Jesus completely changed my world on my first missions trip two years ago to Oaxaca, Mexico. In response to what I learned about God's heart for the poor there, I moved with some friends into the poor of our own city and my life hasn't been the same since. I am so thankful for that experience and I can't wait to see what God has in store next! This trip is particularly exciting because I will be going as part of a little unit from South St. Pete. We are praying that as we learn from, love, and serve our Filipino brothers and sisters in Christ this experience will be forever tattooed on our hearts, as individuals yes, but more importantly as a community. I am confident this trip will extend beyond the month July, beyond myself, my team, and our friends in Manila. My prayer is that Jesus will use this summer to transform both Manila and St. Pete. Two very different places on opposite sides of the globe but somehow still side by side.
My team needs to raise around $47,600 before our trip! I am responsible for raising $2,000 by May 12th for my plane ticket, and the last $800 for my food and host family by June 8th. Please consider partnering with me in prayer and funding for this trip! Even if you could just give $3. If every one of my facebook friends donated $3 I would be able to cover my entire trip.
Thanks so much for your friendship and support.
Love in Jesus,
