Dear Friends and Family,

I hope this message finds you well. I'm writing to share a little bit about what’s been happening in my world, and to humbly ask for your support as I take the next big step in my journey here in the U.S.

First, I want to thank each of you from the bottom of my heart. Your kindness, encouragement, and hospitality have helped me feel at home in what was once a very foreign land. Leaving behind my family and friends wasn’t easy, but your love and support have made all the difference.

Over the past few years, I've had the privilege of pouring into the lives of young people in our community. One thing has become abundantly clear to me: God has placed a calling on my life to serve the next generation — to be the kind of guide, mentor, and encourager I wish I had at their age. I’ve been intentionally stepping into spaces where I can make a difference, including:

● Pastoring the youth at Wilmore Anglican Church as well as many community youth

● Leading mission and wilderness trips with AdventureServe Ministries

● Coaching soccer

● Teaching at Colorado Outdoor Learning School

● Mentoring middle schoolers through afterschool programs like 4Kids and Lexington Eagles

● Character coaching the West Jessamine High School soccer team

● Launching a Wilmore community sports program

● Speaking at FCA middle and high school gatherings

Each of these opportunities has been deeply meaningful to me and has confirmed that I am right where I’m supposed to be as a youth pastor.

As many of you know, I’m currently working toward obtaining my Green Card. Securing this would allow me to continue living, working, and serving here legally and long-term. The total cost of the application process, including legal and government fees, comes to around $15,000.

My church, Wilmore Anglican, has already graciously helped with some of these costs, and I am so thankful for their support. However, I still have a significant portion left to raise. If you feel led to support me financially in this process, no amount is too small. Every contribution brings me one step closer to continuing the work I believe I’ve been called to do. More importantly, your support reminds me that I am not walking this journey alone.

Thank you again for your friendship, your prayers, and your generosity. If you have any questions or would like to know more about my work, feel free to reach out.

With gratitude,

Kudzi Nyakudzi
