Dear Friends, Family, and Supporters,

I am writing to you today with immense excitement and a humble request as I embark on a deeply significant and transformative journey: a gap year with Planted at His Thousand Hills, in Wellsboro, PA!

As many of you know, I have been prayerfully considering my next steps after graduating high school. After much discernment, I feel a clear call from God to dedicate the next nine months to spiritual growth, service, and practical skill development through Planted's discipleship program.

My desire for this gap year is to:

Deepen My Faith: I long to spend dedicated time in discipleship, studying God's Word, and growing closer to Him in community. Planted's focus on biblical studies and spiritual formation is deeply appealing!

Discern My Future: This time will allow me to explore my gifts, passions, and potential vocational callings in a faith-centered environment, free from the immediate pressures of traditional academics or career paths.

Gain Practical Skills: I will learn practical skills such as farming and sustainable living, alongside valuable life lessons.

Serve Others: Planted provides opportunities for service within the community, allowing me to put my faith into action.

About Planted:

Planted is a Christian organization dedicated to discipling young adults through practical hands-on experience in a community setting. Their program is designed to equip young adults for a life of purpose and impact. You can learn more about their incredible work at https://www.plantedgapyear.org.

My Financial Need:

To make this incredible opportunity a reality, I need to raise a total of $15,000. This covers program tuition, accommodation, food, travel, and minimal personal expenses.

I have personally funded about $4,000, committed to contributing about $4,000 from my savings, and am actively seeking additional funding through various means, such as a second job and church fundraising.

But in order for me to go, I need your help!

How You Can Support:

PRAYER: Your prayers are invaluable. Please pray for my spiritual growth, safety, God's provision, and impact on others' lives.

FINANCIAL SUPPORT: Every gift, no matter the size, makes a tangible difference. Currently, Planted does not have a way to give for students online. However, checks can be made payable to Sean Endress and mailed to 200 Burnett Ave, Spc 40, Morgan Hill, CA.

Thank you for considering my request. May God richly bless you for your generosity and support!
