and so it begins . . .

A lil about me . . .

Since I was about 13, I knew I wanted to be apart of God's mission. I haven't always understood why God placed this on my heart or why I responded to His call when I did. Everyday I think about where I would have been with out God, I just grin and thank Him for who He has made me to be and what He saved me from. My goal in life has been to always be where He is. He has taken me many places and now is leading me to Ecuador!

Where I'm headed . . .

I'm off to Ecuador! I will be there about 2 years working with youth and creating a youth ministry. My first year spent there will be spent learning the Spanish language and culture. I will be living with a host family =)

Funding . . .

After a long fight with excel . . . my friend and I finally created a pie chart so that you can get a better idea of where the funds I am trying to raise are going. I always hate asking for money . . . so I will let God put that on your heart. Give as He lays it on your heart to give. What I will ask for though is your prayers! Pray that I raise the funds to go, and that I know without a doubt that is God who is sending me. Also pray for the youth I will be serving.

Cost of Living: approx. $3,000
