Hi friends and family,

This summer I have an exciting opportunity to travel to London as part of the Mission Force leadership training program. I’ll be joining other young adults from churches across New England to learn from ministry leaders there while serving alongside several local projects. During the program we’ll be growing in leadership, faith, and practical ministry experience. In order to be a part of the program I need to be part of trainings happening before that help equip our team for the trip.

I’m really looking forward to this time—not only to serve and make a difference while we’re there, but also to grow personally. My hope is to return home with stronger leadership skills and a deeper perspective that I can carry into the future.

I’ve been serving as a youth leader at Celebration Church, and I’m excited to bring back what I learn and use it to continue investing in the lives of students and our church community.

I’m looking for partners to help me reach my financial goal in order to be part of this program. If you would consider giving a financial gift toward my goal, I would be incredibly grateful. I would also really appreciate your prayers—that the trip goes smoothly and that it’s a meaningful and impactful experience.

Thank you so much to everyone who is willing to support me through prayer or a financial gift. Your encouragement means a lot!
