Hi, My name is John-Paul Dinh and this summer I have been called to serve as an ECYD Missionary in Dallas, Texas, as part of ECYD, a Catholic organization dedicated to service and spiritual growth. I will be helping lead retreats and a day camp, walking alongside middle school and younger children as they grow in their faith. This is not just a trip for me, it is a mission that you can be a part of.
One important thing to know is that every ECYD missionary is responsible for raising their own support. Each missionary personally reaches out to their community, trusting that God will provide through the generosity of others. This fundraising journey is itself part of the mission, teaching reliance on community and faith. By giving, you are answering that call.
When you give to this campaign, you are not just helping me get there, you are stepping into the mission with me. Every child encouraged at camp, every retreat moment, every prayer shared, your generosity makes that possible. You become a true partner in this work.
To make this mission a reality, your donation will go directly toward:
- Missionary program fee: covering my official participation in the ECYD mission
- Travel expenses
- Supplies & materials
No contribution is too small. Every dollar brings this mission one step closer to happening and ensures I can arrive fully prepared to serve.
As a heartfelt thank you, I will personally pray for each and every donor by name throughout my mission. Your sacrifice will be lifted up daily as I serve.
Please consider joining this mission through your gift, and sharing this campaign with anyone who has a heart for young people and Catholic service. Together, we can make this summer one that changes lives.
Thank you and may God bless you.
