Hello to all!
So in 19 days I will be boarding a plane to Hong Kong! My time in the lecture phase of my DTS has been so great, but I am super excited to head on our outreach! God has been specifically designing our time away and I think its going to be awesome. In the beginning, we were heading to the Philippines and Bali, but through things falling through and God speaking to us, we are now headed to Hong Kong for a month, possibly Thailand for a couple of weeks and then to Bali until April. We are all so excited to embark on this adventure that God has set before us.

the streets of Hong Kong

While we know that God is sending us to Hong Kong, serving there come with quite a bit more cost. The cost of living for us in Hong Kong is almost twice as much as was budgeted for. With that knowledge my team and I would appreciate it if you would consider helping us cover the extra cost of 9,700. That number is for our team of 10 as a whole, not individually. I know that amount seems great, but I am confident that with Christ it is nothing.
More than anything I would appreciate your prayers. I ask that you would pray for unity for my team, for the hearts of those we will be ministering to to be prepared and that I would continue to allow God to mold me.

I can't wait to be on the streets of Hong Kong sharing the saving name of Jesus. I can't wait to look into the eyes of prostitutes in Bali and tell them of a hope that is greater than their despair. I can't wait to hold babies and whisper prayers of faith over their lives. I can't wait to make children laugh and smile and tell them that they are loved. I can't wait to capture these things in photographs to share with the rest of the world. I can't wait to speak the name of Christ to those who have never heard it. I can't wait to take wounded women in Bali to a SAFE house, a place where they can learn skills and hear about Jesus. I can't wait to be the hands and feet of Christ and share his greatness with everyone. It would be such an honor if you would partner with me in whatever way is possible for you, whether that is financially or in prayer.
