Help Fund an International Missionary Journey

Late in 2018, I made one of the most important decisions I ever would: I decided to become a loyal follower of Jesus. Flash forward six and a half years and God has led me to make another commitment that will change the course of my life. Joining sixty other faithful Christians, young and old, I will be embarking on Revive Eastern Europe (RevivEE)!

What is RevivEE?
Six years ago, a team of Christians got together to dream up a way to support their brothers and sisters abroad. Their focus was to try to answer the many needs of isolated churches across Europe, and after months of brainstorming, they formulated the project that, six years later, I am embarking upon now.

Revive Eastern Europe is a ten-month program organized with assistance from the European Missions Society (EMS). Now on its sixth year, the current RevivEE team consists of sixty-two disciples from all sorts of countries (Eastern Europe included), who are all sorts of ages, in all sorts of life stages. The sixty-two of us will be split across five countries, including Croatia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, and Moldova. Each of us has volunteered the next ten months of our lives to commit to three things:
  • Serving the communities we move into. We take Matthew 20:25-28 seriously and seek to be a blessing to the cities in which we will live. This means keeping our eyes and ears open to the needs around us and moving quickly and deliberately to meet those needs.
  • Helping people discover the gospel. We seek to live out Romans 10:14-15, becoming bringers of good news to our future neighbors. Evangelism, bible studies, and outreach events are to become daily features of our lives.
  • Loving the church as Jesus did. Self-giving love is the name of the game on RevivEE, and Philippians 2:1-5 is the cornerstone passage that guides how we will treat our brothers and sisters who call Eastern Europe home. Our efforts will include equipping the disciples to serve their communities and using our gifts to encourage and build up the church.

Why am I joining RevivEE?
To understand why I am so excited to commit the next ten months of my life to RevivEE, I have to take you back to Summer 2020. I was reading Acts very slowly and very personally. The more I learned about Paul's life, the more awestruck I was. In particular, his bold declaration in Acts 20, that his life was “worth nothing” to him, and his singular, missional focus captured my imagination and became the direction I began to set my life in. Pursuing that path would bring me to Portland, Maine the next year. I moved across country to not only serve the campus ministry, but also to join the New England School of Missions (NESM). Akin to a graduate program for missionary training, NESM afforded me the opportunity to learn from preeminent missionary minds, men who had gone and lived the same life of church-planting that I was dreaming of. The combination of intense, focused, in-class teaching and the practical realities of serving a real campus ministry laid within me the rich foundation of training I needed to even consider international missionary service.

Having graduated from NESM in 2024 and serving the campus ministry for three years, I began to seek for any open doors to the European mission field, and that is when RevivEE came up on the radar. I could not resist an opportunity to get across the ocean and begin to follow my dream for European missions. At its core, my earnest desire is to serve disciples and help make disciples abroad- RevivEE is an actualization of both those aspirations.

How does your support help?
My goal is to raise $5,500. This ensures that I will be able to survive in Eastern Europe with a full-time focus on missionary work for ten months straight! If you decide to contribute, know that your support will have a deep impact, both for me and through me:
  • Your gift will enable further investment into my effectiveness as a servant and minister of the kingdom. The rich training and experience that I have already benefited from in the last three and a half years, I will be able to pour out for the sake of brothers and sisters, young and old, in the United States and elsewhere in the world.
  • You directly empower me to serve the communities I will be joining with greater focus. When the war in Ukraine kicked off, the RevivEE team was able to operate out of a border hotel in Moldova, aiding with healing and housing war refugees. That being just one example, I will be able to give 100% attention to the community on the foundation of your contribution.
  • As cheesy as it sounds, you have a direct hand in making my dream come true. I have been craving, praying for an opportunity to get to Europe and serve the Kingdom of God there. Your gift is an answered prayer and sets me on the path of turning those hopes into my lived experience.

Thank you!
Any bit of support, any size, whether financially or otherwise, is what will make this opportunity a reality for me. Through your giving, you honor me beyond what I can express, so I hope to take you along with me through photos, videos, and updates, showing you the fruits of your gift. Ultimately, you are not simply supporting a trip- you are enabling the growth of the Kingdom of God, the forging of everlasting relationships, the training and equipping of the next generation, and the realization of my deepest dream. Please leave your name in your donation, that I may reach out to you and connect throughout the next ten months.

Thank you for believing in the power of this work!
