Hello friends and family! 

For those of you who have known me for a long time, you know that missions and ministry has been on my heart and interwoven with my story for a long time. The past few years I have been waiting and praying for what God has next for me, whether that be at home or far away and specifically the past year I have sensed my heart opening up to the idea of overseas missions again. 

Earlier this summer I learned of a center in Santa Cruz, Bolivia called El Jordan. It is part of Avant Ministries, and serves to provide a safe place for women and children who are living on the streets to come take classes to learn practical life and trade skills, get help with school work, and most importantly learn about the love Jesus has for them.

I am excited to share that I have the opportunity to spend a few months volunteering at El Jordan this fall, with the hope that my time there will help me decide if this is somewhere God is calling me long-term. I am planning to be down there the first of October through mid-December.

I do need to raise some financial support to cover travel and living expenses and would like ask you to if you would be willing to join me in  this exciting upcoming season of my life, both financially and through your prayers.

I am excited to take this step of faith and see where God leads!

Thanks :)
Ashley
