Hi, my name is Eliana, and I am raising money for my short-term mission trip and Discipleship Training School (DTS) in Spain with Youth With A Mission (YWAM) for five months in 2023.

I am seventeen and finishing high school early in January of 2023. God gave me five months, and I want to give that time back to God. I choose the DTS program with YWAM because I want to learn more about God and grow closer to Him while also serving Him.

The outreach will be with youth and refugees located in Eastern Europe.

Last summer, I took a course to become a horse riding instructor. In the fall, I switched to an "at-risk" school because I felt God was calling me to move schools.

I am passionate about working with "at-risk" youth in horse riding therapy. I hope to learn lessons and skills through this program that I can apply to my future work with youth.

I need a total of $6,000 to cover my airfare to Spain and back home, as well as to Eastern Europe, tuition for the DTS, room and board, and other related expenses. I hope to raise part of the money, working for the rest while finishing school.
