Hi Friends!
I’m beyond excited to share that this January, I’ll be stepping into a life-changing six-month journey with Youth With a Mission (YWAM), a global Christian missions organization. I’ve been accepted into their Fire and Fragrance Discipleship Training School (DTS) in Kona, Hawaii, and I couldn’t be more thrilled!
This program is designed to deepen my relationship with God and equip me to serve others through missions. The first three months will take place at YWAM’s Kona base, where I’ll receive intensive training through classes, worship, prayer, and living in a Christ-centered community. I’ll be learning from experienced missionaries and leaders while growing in my faith, identity, and calling.
After that, I’ll be sent with a team on a three-month international outreach to a country that has yet to be announced. We’ll put everything we’ve learned into action, sharing the love of Jesus in tangible ways, serving local communities, and stepping out in bold faith.
To make this dream a reality, I need to raise $10,500 to cover the full cost of the program, including tuition, flights, outreach travel, housing, meals, and ministry supplies. I’m fully trusting God to provide, and I’m inviting you to partner with me in any way you feel led, whether through prayer, sharing, or financial giving.
If you’re able to give, any amount truly makes a difference and brings me one step closer to the nations.
