Dear Friends and Family,
Parker here! I’m excited to share that I’ve been accepted into the 11-month Residency Program at High Street Baptist Church — a leadership development program for young adults called to ministry.
As a resident, I’ll be committing 30 hours a week to hands-on ministry, Bible courses, and real-world leadership training. This program is designed to equip and develop the next generation of church leaders, and I’m incredibly thankful for the opportunity to grow in this way.
Here’s a glimpse of what the residency includes:
- Biblical teaching and intentional discipleship
- Ministry leadership training
- Opportunities to serve in the local church and surrounding community
- A deep season of personal spiritual development and calling
- A 12-day mission trip to the Philippines in January
To participate fully in the residency and mission trip, I need to raise a total of $6,000. This includes:
- $3,500 due by August 1st
- $2,500 due by October 17th
So far, God has already provided $600, and I’m trusting Him to continue providing through the generosity and prayers of others.
Right now, I have a generous donor who will MATCH the first $1,250 given between now and August 1st, which is a huge help toward reaching my first deadline!
If you feel led to support me, I’d be so grateful in one of two ways:
Prayer – for boldness, wisdom, spiritual growth, and a heart fully surrendered to God’s calling.
Provision – Any gift will go directly toward my tuition, ministry training, and the mission trip.
This residency is a big step of obedience, and I truly believe it’s where God wants me in this season. Thank you for considering walking alongside me in this journey — whether by giving, praying, or sharing this letter. I’m deeply grateful for your support and encouragement.
Trusting God,
Parker Stark
