This summer, Kim and I are honored and excited to lead a team of all ages to serve for a one-week volunteer mission trip at the Buffalo Dream Center in Buffalo, New York. A lot of people are unaware that Buffalo is the third poorest city in America. In fact, 1 in 4 people in Buffalo live under the poverty line. This creates a great need for the services the Buffalo Dream Center (BDC) provides to their community. The BDC has provided food for over 24,000 families from their mobile pantry during the COVID-19 pandemic. The BDC also meets other practical needs in their community, this includes tutoring students, after school programs, Summer Kidz Club, feeding and ministering to the homeless, helping refugee families, and missions work around the globe.

We are excited to take our children, Ashlyn (15) and Levi (6), for our first family missions trip, along with other families and teens to serve for one week at the Buffalo Dream Center. Ashlyn and Kevin had the opportunity to serve one week last summer and have been excited to return to serve again! Levi will be able serve alongside us as we minister to the kids and families in the communities of Buffalo. We know that God is going to stretch our family by taking us out of our comfort zone and use the time and talents He has given us to make an impact in the Buffalo community, while also changing us for years to come! We are asking for your support for this trip. The cost of the trip is $400 per person, and we would greatly appreciate it if you would partner with us financially to help send our family on this life changing trip to Buffalo. Thank you for your prayers and any financial assistance you are able to give, as they will make an eternal difference in the lives of those we will reach this summer.

We love you and appreciate you!
