Send Julia to Musical Theatre School

10 second version: I am SO EXCITED that God has opened a door for me to attend musical theatre school. Will you help me get there?

The full story:

My name is Julia. I am deeply loved by Jesus and learning to let go of expectations of what my life should look like.

I've always been enthralled by theatre. I found it fascinating, but as a quiet, insecure kid, it didn't really seem like something I could ever do myself. So I pushed it aside and pursued other things.

Fast forward 20 years and I finally had the opportunity (and the courage) to join a community theatre group. The most elated I have ever felt in my life was after my very first audition. It was PURE JOY and I was ecstatic that I had taken this step! This theatre group is like an extended family and I haven't looked back, being involved with 5 shows in just 18 months.

I really desired more formal training in theatre but wasn't sure how or where to pursue it, especially since I thought my life was headed in a different direction. Could God really use me in theatre? After a period of waiting, God opened a door in spring 2024 - I'm extremely excited to begin the musical theatre program at Lancaster Bible College! This is a dream come true, and a step in fulfilling a desire that God placed in my heart since the beginning. I can't wait to start in August, but I need your help!

My goal of $65,000 will cover the bulk of the outstanding costs for the duration of the 3.5-year program, which includes housing, groceries, health insurance, car costs, initial set-up costs like kitchen staples and household items, as well as textbooks, course materials, and tuition costs that exceed what has generously been covered by school scholarships.

God has prepared the way for me to enroll in this program. He knows the financial cost, and it is not difficult for Him to provide everything I need. Several friends suggested I start a GoFundMe, so after prayerful consideration, here it is. Would you consider giving your "loaves and fish" to help me get to school this fall?

May Jesus multiply your gift to be used for His glory. Thank you!
