Hi there!
Thanks so much for checking out my blog and for being interested in what God is doing in my life the rest of this year and the beginning of 2021! It is so crazy to me that we are already in November!? I feel like what they say is true, “The days go by slow, but the months go by fast.” I have spent much time in 2020 wondering and praying about what God has next in the realm of missions and my life in general so, without further ado, here are some exciting updates!!
1. Squad Leading Again!
That’s right, I will be partnering with the World Race for a 3rd time for 5 months from January 2021 – May 2021 as a Squad Leader for H Squad. Here’s a pic of the new crew!
( During training camp we were all a part of the same bubble complete with confirmed covid testing before arrival, daily temperature checks, and had no outbreak of covid-19 at training camp nor afterwards. Thanks God 🙂
H Squad is an incredible group of 10 men and 34 women who are extremely kind, open-hearted, hungry for more of the Lord, passionate about the Gospel, and excited to step outside of their comfort zone. I will have the privilege of journeying with them, encouraging them in the Lord, making sure we are safe (especially in this pandemic season), and casting vision for the squad making sure we stay on mission as we travel from ministry to ministry.
I also get the FABULOUS privilege of leading alongside some incredible friends you might just recognize from my 11n11 journey. Here’s H Squad’s leadership team!
2. Going International!
Wow, I almost can’t believe I’m writing this but according to the amazing team at Adventures In Missions we will be going international in January. Woop Woop!!! So many of us have been praying this would open up and it looks as though God has answered that prayer! We obviously desire to do everything with honor and wisdom, so please be in prayer for us as we plan to go international in January that God would abundantly give wisdom and clarity as we enter this new season of overseas missions. Right now the plan is to start in Central / South America and go from there.
3. The Vlog Is Back!
As many of you know, I have been making Youtube videos for the past 3 years. The goal has been to make content that is uplifting, glorifies God, and shines a spotlight on the good God is doing around the world.
When I came off the field in March I assumed my time of making Youtube videos had come to a close. But it looks like God has different plans lol.
I’m excited to announce I will be partnering with the World Race to document and capture the exciting things God will be doing through us as we travel the United States and to open countries abroad. I’m expectant that much good will come from this season of video ministry because let’s be honest, there’s plenty of negative and divisive content. Let’s change the narrative and focus on what God is doing in the world!
Keep and eye on my Youtube channel because you won’t want to miss my video updates.
My first opportunity to serve in this capacity will actually be next week in Chicago. A world race squad (G Squad shout out!) is currently ministering in the windy city and I will be joining them next week to be an encouragement and film various aspects of their ministry. Let’s GO!
4. I Need Your Help!
It’s surreal to think that this will be my 3rd time raising funds for international missions ministry. I praise God for the opportunities He continues to give me and many other young adults whose hearts are passionate for overseas ministry.
I want to ask you to consider partnering with me not just this year, but next year as well. In order to continue making impact for the Kingdom the way God has called me I will need individuals and families to partner with me in prayer and financial support.
I 100% know the favor God has shown me these past 2 years is due to the amazing support from so many of you. Words can’t express how grateful I am. It is because of this I know God will bring together the greatest group of partners and it is my honor to ask you to consider being one of them 🙂
Thanks so much for reading my first blog in quite a while haha. I hope it paints a bit of picture of what my ministry will look like these next 7-8 months. If not, please feel free to reach out to me on social media or by email.
Until the next blog, stay safe and God bless!
