As you may know, I returned back from the World Race, travelling to 11 countries for 11 months, in November. It was an amazing whirlwind of an experience! I travelled all throughout Latin America, being immersed in the culture and language. What a blessing!
One of my favorite stories is from Honduras, where we worked with a local church, doing evangelism, children’s ministry, and a feeding program. It was there where I fell in love with a little boy who stole my heart. His name is David, and I put a photo of him and me for you to see too. Since the first time I saw him, I was captured by his cuteness, and then as I got to know him more, I saw his sweetness too. It was a blessing and honor to get to know this little buddy and his mother. They write to me every so often telling me that David still asks about me.
The season of the World Race has come to a close, and I spent time with my family during the holiday season. During this time, the Lord revealed to me what He had in His next plans for me.
So it’s a very long story made short, but here I am in Gainesville, Georgia. The long story includes reuniting with my squad mates in the middle of January and taking a road trip with my bestie through some beautiful southern cities, a sweet grandmother turned into my wingwoman, getting to reconnect with a squadmate and soulfriend in her hometown, visiting the city that I adore- Nashville, hiking in north Georgia, and the Lord giving me a deep peace about the next step for me. The long story also includes missing my flight back to Buffalo because of “snow” and having to be back in Georgia four days later to begin the program.
I am apart of an apprenticeship program called Center for Global Action This program is designed for people who just came off the World Race, and it is with the same organization that sent me on the trip last year, Adventures in Missions (AIM).
Center for Global Action (CGA) is a 3-month program spent in Gainesville, Georgia working with Adventures in Missions. As apprentices, we get to choose different tracks to be apart of and I have chosen the leadership track. That means that I get to invest in developing my leadership skills that will propel me into my future and my calling in life. Additionally, my apprenticeship in this program will be working with community outreach and church planting. In Gainesville, there is a huge hispanic culture that lives and works here, and I will be reaching out to and ministering to that group! I am so excited to continue my work with the spanish culture!
To do this amazing program and be apart of this program, I need to fundraise a total of $3,950 for these first three months. Adventures in Missions is a faith-mission and my financial support comes from friends like you. I am looking for a team of people who want to invest in my time at CGA through their prayers and their finances. My prayer is that you would take time to consider donating to my funds and what the Lord is doing in my life, and what He may be equipping and preparing me for my future.
If you prayerfully decide to give, you can give via:

I am so excited for this next season and what the Lord has for me! I am ready to be trained and equipped to become even more effective in the Lord’s calling on my life. I am excited to see all that I learn and how I grow while investing my time with Adventures in Missions.
I am so deeply thankful for all your prayers and support throughout my time on the World Race, and I hope that we can partner again if the Lord leads you to give financial support and prayers.
Thank you so much friends.
