I hope this finds you well. I wanted to take a moment to write about some good news in my life. I am currently in my junior year at California Crosspoint High School and recently celebrated my 17th birthday. In my spiritual life, I've been attending Chinese Independent Baptist Church, where I recently had a mission conference and have felt a calling from God to enter the mission field and share the gospel.

This summer, I have the wonderful opportunity to join my school on a humanitarian/mission trip to the Philippines from June 18–30, 2025. During the trip, I will be helping with various mission work within the country, including a cultural orientation and helping with a Vacation Bible School (VBS) in Tanay while serving and making a positive impact in the community that I will be staying with. The total cost of the trip is around $2,000, which covers travel, accommodation, and living expenses.

I would greatly appreciate it if you would also assist me in this endeavor. There are three primary ways you can participate:

Prayer: It would be wonderful if you could pray for me personally, for the team, and for the people we will be serving during our stay in the Philippines. Your prayers are greatly appreciated.

Financial Assistance: I am looking for individuals or organizations who would be willing to invest financially with me to assist in covering the cost of this trip. If you would like to contribute, donations can be made to California Crosspoint Academy with the notation: "Philippines Humanitarian Trip." Any donation, whether $25, $50, $100, or more, would be greatly appreciated.

Stay Updated: It would also be amazing if you are interested in keeping in touch with my mission trip. Please feel free to message me for updates. I will be happy to share the trip experience and progress with you.

Thank you so much for considering sponsoring me on this adventure. Without your encouragement and support, this journey would be much harder. I am sincerely grateful for any help you can provide, whether through prayer, donation, or word of mouth.

If you have any questions or need further details about the trip or how to help, please feel free to let me know. I look forward to hearing from you!

Blessings,

Joshua Tam
