Hi friends and family,

This month I’m celebrating my 26th birthday(yeeesh), and more than anything, I have one big wish: to fully pay off my seminary tuition so I can continue preparing for the ministry God has called me to without the weight of debt. I’m currently at The Bible Seminary working hard toward my MA in biblical history and archeology. Every class brings me closer to equipping myself to serve others and spread God’s Word. But tuition is expensive, and I still have this semester to think about as well. I am also getting married in March, so I am learning how to balance life right now. I'm willing to work for it and my plan has always been to take on extra jobs and side projects to make it happen. But a close friend and mentor encouraged me to also open my heart and invite my community to be part of this journey. Instead of gifts this year, I’m asking for something that will have a lifelong impact—not just for me, but for the people I’ll serve in the future. Every single donation, no matter the amount, brings me closer to walking across that graduation stage debt-free.
