Send Brian to Study in Cambridge

I'm a pastor of a small church in Portland. I've been here for 7 years. Though I'm supposed to take a sabbatical every 6 years, this just hasn't been possible. 

So, I've been investigating some week-long trips that could provide a portion of the rest and intellectual stimulation. 

There's a conference in Cambridge in July that I think would be incredible. It's not serving orphans in India or digging wells in the Sudan, but it is an exciting opportunity for me to grow as a thoughtful pastor. 

I will finally get to visit a place that's been on my bucket list for as long as I can remember, and I will get to learn from some of the best thinkers in a particular area of interest - epistemology.

The conference organizers are providing a scholarship for me to attend, so the cost is greatly minimized.  

Your gifts will go towards airfare, accomodations, and food. 

This will not only be an incredible encouragement to me personally, but will also be an indirect contribution to the ministry of Intown.
