Send Michael to Evangelism Training

Hi, friends!
You may know that I have a passion for making Jesus known to others through local missions and ministry. While I continue to serve God in different ways today, it's been a while since I've engaged in street evangelism -- sharing the Gospel with complete strangers.
My wife and I engaged in street evangelism early in our relationship (2009-2010), handing out tracts and witnessing everywhere we could -- from the streets of Washington, DC to the mountains of West Virginia . We've experienced few things in our lives that gave us as much joy as being used by God to deliver the good news of Jesus Christ to others.
Today, we're seeking to impact our new home city of Charlotte, North Carolina with the Gospel of Jesus Christ through various ministries near and dear to our hearts (such as anti-human trafficking and pro-life ministries). However, the obstacles we face today are much more daunting, antagonistic, and dangerous than ones we've faced before.
We need your prayers.
I am also seeking your help to help fund additional evangelism training for me through Living Waters' 3-day Ambassadors' Academy in Huntington Beach, California this July.
We love Living Waters ' ministry. They help equip Christians to share the Gospel with anyone and everyone through a system called The Way of the Master (based on Jesus' examples of evangelism in the Gospels). We used The Way of the Master training materials to equip young adults in the DC area to become evangelists. We use Living Waters' gospel tracts to hand out during our outreaches. They are a legit ministry endorsed by folks like John MacArthur and Ravi Zacharias.
Not only will the Ambassadors' Academy provide me with support, encouragement and confidence to engage in street evangelism again, but it will also provide training and experience conducting open air preaching on the streets of Huntington Beach and Hollywood!
My hope is that I can take this experience and confidence home with me to Charlotte for use in our current ministry work, or to open up new opportunities for street evangelism ministry in Charlotte.
But I don't want this to just be something I want to do -- pushing it through under my own power -- without God's leading and support. I want to know if this is something God wants me to do.
I figure, if God wants me to pursue this training, He will raise up the funds and make His calling obvious. So, I'm asking for your financial support to send me.
I'm asking only for the funds to cover my airfare and Academy fees (which include hotel). I will cover everything else (food, transportation).
Cost Breakdown:
- Ambassadors' Academy = $795
- Airfare from Charlotte to Los Angeles = $500
If I somehow exceed my fundraising goal, I'll use the extra funds to pay for transportation, food and additional evangelism materials, while in L.A.
Thank you for taking the time to consider supporting me in this endeavor.
May God bless you and your household.
Sincerely,
Michael Tolosa
