Hey family and friends,

Hope everyone is doing great! I want to share with you the most exciting news in my life at the moment- how God is moving in my life! I have the opportunity to go on a mission trip with North Cincinnati Community Church this summer to Croatia. NCCC has been sending a team to Maćkovec, Croatia every summer since 1998, where we co-run an English camp and new this year, a basketball camp for 6–18-year-old local kids. NCCC has a sustained relationship with the church in Maćkovec which has led to a larger community outreach and devolving long-term relationships with Croatians that help build a deeper connection with other Christians and support in each other's growing faith. Past teams share how this trip has deepened their faith as they worship across borders and languages! I am so excited to be a part of the team this year and to see how God will use my gifts to serve this ministry!

During the week of June 16-20, we will be sharing the gospel at these camps and at the evening events meant to connect local teens, and investing into Croatian believers in order to benefit them and their local ministry. The evangelical church in Croatia is very small, so these programs encourage and prepare the church while also providing a huge form of outreach.

In order to serve in this mission, we are trusting the Lord to raise up a team of individuals who will partner with us through prayer and financial giving. Each individual is responsible to raise money in order to cover airfare, food, and all other transportation. Would you consider investing in this mission trip? Thank you for your prayers and considering my needs. I can't wait to share how God will use this experience in my life!

Matt. 6:25-34 : “Therefore I tell you, do not worry…But seek first His kingdom and

His righteousness and all these things will be given to you as well.”
