Venezuela STINT

I'm going on a short-term international (STINT) mission trip to Mérida, Venezuela starting in August. That's the big news. I hope to keep this blog current throughout my time there as well as during my time here in the states.

I am incredibly excited with this opportunity God has blessed me with. I never would have thought going into college about 3 years ago that God would have me take a year off of school to go share the gospel with students in Venezuela! Starting college I don't think I even seriously considered the possibility of sharing my faith in Christ with anyone! God has worked a lot of change in my life over my time in college- especially through the great Christian mentors I've met in my time with Campus Crusade for Christ, the student ministry I have been working with.

Right now my base of operations is at my home in Ferndale, Washington- just north of Bellingham. I plan to continue making financial and prayer partners up until August 1st, which is the deadline by which I need to raise my support to go to Venezuela.

Right now I am approximately at the 10% mark for my support overall. I need to cover both monthly support and one-time gift support. That works out to an average of about 2.65% a day that I need to raise in order to meet the deadline. I'm trusting God to meet my needs, but writing of this reminds me that I also need to be faithful in my ministry partner development, so I'm getting back to work!
