For over two years, I have felt a persistent tug on my heart—a calling that is both beautiful and challenging: the desire to not just speak about my faith, but to truly walk it out as Jesus did, everywhere I go. I’ll be honest—living this out consistently is hard. But God has been so faithful. He recently opened a door through the church I am rooted in to go on a mission trip to Los Angeles. After praying through the unknowns, I feel the Lord clearly saying that stepping out of my comfort zone for this week, surrounded by other believers with the same heart, will radically change my life. God has been telling me to stop overcomplicating things and to remember that love is the movement. I have been praying for an opportunity like this—to be with a community that wants to share the life-changing love of Jesus in the way He did. When I think of Jesus on the cross, in the midst of unimaginable pain, saying, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do," I am overwhelmed. That is the kind of love I want to encounter and share. This mission trip is not just about having a powerful experience in LA, but about bringing that fire back home and carrying it into my everyday life forever. I truly believe this trip will help me know the heart of God deeper, teach me true gratitude, and remind me that the most productive thing we can do in this life is to love God and love others with everything we have. I am inviting my community to partner with me in this mission—through prayer, encouragement, and financial support. Your help will make it possible for me to answer this calling and share the love of Jesus in a tangible way. Thank you for considering supporting me on this journey. Your prayers and generosity mean more than words can express, and I am so grateful for your partnership as I take this step of faith.
