Olivia's Mission Work Fundraiser
Donation protected
Ever since I was in seventh grade I knew that God was calling me into something special and purposeful. My passion and love is for missions and spreading the hope of Jesus to anyone willing to listen. While spending a week at my first ever youth camp, the Lord really impacted my life. That is when the spark in me for ministry really began. The little twelve year old Olivia would dream about ways the Lord would open up doors for the future. I knew I wanted to immediately work for the Kingdom of God before heading off to college. My goal is to shine the light of Jesus in this dark and broken world wherever that may take me. Upon high school graduation, I have been given the opportunity to be one of one hundred students to participate in a program called Impact 360 Fellows in the fall of 2024. Created by the founders of Chick-fil-a, Impact is a nine month Christian gap year where I will live in community with other students studying discipleship, biblical worldview, and servant leadership. Outside of the classroom we will do mission work within the United States and also three weeks internationally in South Africa and Brazil.
The annual cost to attend the Fellows program is $41,800. As a participant I have been awarded $20,000 from Chick-fil-A headquarters, leaving me with a balance of $21,800, which covers all costs, including travel and meals.
I am humbly asking for help in fundraising to reach my goal for this incredible opportunity. I believe the Lord will us this experience to challenge and grow me in the best of ways. I am also believing that souls will be saved and lives will be changed. Thank you so much for being a part of my journey and this next big step in my life!
