I am a student in college studying Engineering Technology with a concentration in Computer Network Systems Management. During the end of December in 2025 into the new year 2026, I attended Urbana 25, a Christian missions conference for young adults. Coming into Urbana 25, I was asking God to show me how my skills and passions could intersect for advancing God's mission in the world.

While exploring the several missions' organizations present at Urbana, I saw a banner that said "God's Word. Every Child." This caught my eye because of my passion for serving children. I walked toward the banner and learned about OneHope's mission of providing resources to share God's word to children around the world. The wonderful people tabling for OneHope shared about Cultivate, a OneHope program focused on equipping emerging leaders to discover their calling, grow their leadership, and make an impact. One of the opportunities presented through Cultivate was the Lock-In-Labs. Lock-In-Labs is a week-long in-person collaboration with other college students to design, prototype, and test creative tools for ministry. The program goes from March 9th to March 13th. I applied for Lock-In-Labs and, with great gratitude to the Lord, I’ve been chosen to be a part of it.

Since the Lock-In-Labs will take place in Florida, I would need to fly. The roundtrip flight cost as I’m writing this is $578.73. Your donation will not only allow me to continue exploring my vocation, but also share the hope of the Gospel to children around the world. All donations will go toward my flight and travel to the OneHope headquarters. Any amount of donation and/or support is greatly appreciated! God bless you!
