My trip to visit The Holy Land this summer.

Hi everyone, it is Marley as I am now 17yrs old and a junior in high school. I cannot believe I only have one more year after this, and then I have to make a big decision as to where to go to College. I am enjoying making new friends in CA and love my church which is Mariners in Irvine, CA, as they have an Amazing high school youth group with over 400 high school students. I have really come into my faith, and one of the things I Love more than anything is serving others. I am excited to tell you that I am one of a handful of teenagers who were asked to join the leaders of the church to go on a trip to Israel to visit the Holy Land this summer. I am so happy and honored as I will have the chance to see and walk the places where Jesus walked and so many other important places from the Bible.

My youth leaders really encourage me to try and raise the monies, which is over $6000 for me to go. They want me to learn how to live a life of ministry. I am asking if you would consider helping me make this dream trip come true, as any amount would be greatly appreciated but NOT expected. I have no expectations and I totally understand if you can not but I would just ask for you to pray for all of us to have a safe and awesome trip.

I will be taking lots of pictures and documenting my experience, which I would love to share with you upon my return if that is okay.

The trip is from June 13-23 this summer.

I appreciate your consideration, and if you have any questions, please let me or my parents know.

Love to All,

Marley McLaughlin
