In late June 2017, the Christian school network schools500reformation is hosting a very special "World Reformation Exhibition" in Wittenberg, Germany, where students and teachers from several continents will join together to remember the 500th anniversary of the start of the Protestant Reformation, especially how it inspired education from a Biblical point of view.

I have been honored this spring to be invited to this event. My dream is to represent Christian schools in North America & what they offer to the world, and make long-lasting connections with others which would help me equip my 5th graders to think globally for the Lord and act locally for the benefit of their community.

I want to spend a week in Germany to gain spiritual insight into the commitments and the historical background of Ground Zero of the Reformation.

That's where you come in. I need to raise money fast (by May 12) to be able to buy airline tickets from Spokane to Berlin. The kind people from schools500reformation will take care of the train fare to Wittenberg and several nights' stay there. I would like to have funds to cover meals and a few nights at a local hostel or B&B. If possible, I would also like to purchase mementos for my students and resources for teaching the history of Europe as a backdrop to the amazing story of American history.

This is the chance of a lifetime! It would mean so much to me personally, as well as a benefit to my classroom and my school.

I am so grateful for any and all help you can give, from $1 to $100 or more, however the Lord leads you.

Soli Deo gloria!
(To God be the glory)
