Week at Leadership Institute

Friends and family, I write to you in asking for help, with excitement and humility, at this time of great opportunity. By the recommendation of United States Congressman Greg Walden (R-OR) and his office staff, I have registered to attend Leadership Institute’s 2017 CPAC Student Activism program this February. CPAC stands for Conservative Political Action Conference, a conference put on by the American Conservative Union in Washington D.C. Conservative leaders and speakers from all over the country come to inspire and engage activists to do more in their communities.

With Leadership Institute, lodging and CPAC tickets come at a low cost for students. So, I need your help in getting me to Washington D.C. by plane. My total costs (exclusively travel expenses) to attend are upwards of $400. Any size donation would be received with gratitude. If you feel that making a donation into my life is something you could offer, please donate here.

I am praying that God makes himself real to me at CPAC like he has done on all four Mexico Mission Trips I attended during high school. I never envision an activist lifestyle that robs me of my primary pursuit to evangelize the good news of Jesus. I envision Leadership Institute and CPAC as a major test of my faith and commitment to the good news of Jesus.

“I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.” (Philippians 1:6)
