Hi there friends

Many of you have asked me how to help Adler during this time. When he had the accident with the table saw that left 1 finger missing and one severely shortened, he was crafting earrings to raise money for his year long mission trip. He has worked incredibly hard to raise money to go.

For those of you interested knowing about Adler's missionary internship:

Compassion Corps International (CCI) offers a transformative 3 month ramp up mission trip and then a 10-month missionary internship designed to equip young adults with hands-on ministry experience and deep spiritual growth. Interns engage in diverse outreach efforts across the United States, including street evangelism, homeless ministry, youth and children's programs, and community development initiatives. They collaborate with Assemblies of God U.S. Missionaries, supporting their work and creating media content to amplify their impact. The program also provides opportunities for academic advancement through partnerships with Bridges Bible College, allowing interns to pursue degrees while serving. Through this immersive experience, participants witness lives transformed, communities uplifted, and their own faith strengthened, embodying CCI's mission to change the world by living out the gospel.

This has been his dream to go for years... he leaves the first week in August, but has a lot of PT, healing and adjusting to do. He will have to re-learn to write and we are just praying he can somehow finish the college course he needs to graduate. Obviously, he won't be able to make anything else to sell or do the types of manual labor that he had been doing to earn money. Until now, he has really wanted to WORK for the funds needed, but that absolutely not be possible any longer.

If you'd like to donate towards what he will need for the next year, we appreciate it from the bottom of our hearts. Adler is a phenomenal human and he won't let this stand in the way of his calling.

Right away, while still bleeding everywhere, he was talking to the medical staff about Jesus.

Man, I love this kid. Thank you everyone, in advance. ❤️
