Support Letter

I would like to let you know about an exciting opportunity I have been given for June through November 2013. I have been accepted into the Children at Risk Discipleship Training School (DTS) in Madison, Wisconsin through Youth With A Mission (YWAM).

YWAM is an international organization that equips young adults to work in missions, whether locally or abroad. The DTS I have been accepted to focuses on ministering to children who are at risk. Some examples of risk factors include: poverty, human trafficking, child soldiers, orphaned children, etc. There is a huge need for people in our world to rise up and address the issues that put children at risk and I want to join this movement.

This is where the DTS comes in. The first three months will consist of intensive training and local outreaches. I will be joining other young adults with a heart for children at risk. We will learn how to work with children in an effective way and gain God’s heart for the lost and broken in our world. The last two months of the DTS will be field ministry. Past Children at Risk DTS’s have gone to countries in Asia, Africa, and the Caribbean; I do not know yet where ours will go.

As I embark on this exciting journey, I am requesting that you will partner with me through your support. Foremost, I need your prayers. These five months will be challenging as I learn and put my hands to work, and I know that without your prayer support I will go nowhere. Secondly, if you feel called to do so, I will need financial support. For the training period, I must raise $3,400, to cover housing, food, and tuition. For the outreach period there will be additional funds necessary to cover plane tickets, food, and housing while there.

If you do choose to financially support me, because the DTS is a training course, funds will not be tax deductible. You can donate via Paypal using the link below.

Your prayers and support mean so much to me. I am excited to share in this experience with you!
