Update: Sumnmer 2015

Hello Friends and family! I hope you had a wonderful Easter! I have had privilege of being home with my family while recovering from a concussion and am feeling better. I cannot believe that how fast time flies! Levi is taller than me now, and Nicole will turn 20 next month. I love them all!

As most of you know, I am in Bible school pursuing a Bachelors in Theology and Christian Ministries through Jack Hayford’s King’s University. Currently my favorite classes are Biblical Counseling which is very fascinating and applicable to mentoring teenage girls and Oral Communication which makes my heart come alive! I absolutely love learning and the opportunity to get hands on training while being taught things that I am passionate about in small classroom settings.

I also continue to serve under Pastor Brandon Cormier at New Life Church in Colorado Springs working with Desperation Student Ministries (DSM). We have seen God do amazing things this year in and through our 7th-12th grade students and college aged interns! From salvations to healings, there is no limit to what our God can do! I have had the privilege of being a part of implementing intentional small groups in our High School ministry as well as developing a young adult volunteer team to lead and pastor these groups. We continue to see a hunger for prayer grow in our students, as well as a passion to see their schools know Jesus. I stand back in awe of the faithfulness of God! We are expectant as we look forward to this year’s Desperation Conference, and pray that God will continue fanning the flame in their hearts along with thousands of students across the country that will be on our campus this summer. Please join me praying for God’s will to be done July 8th-11th!

Personally, this year has been the most stretching yet! Through the continued health battle, a car wreck, and multiple transitions, I am amazed at God’s steadfast love through it all. I am realizing more than ever that there is beauty in the process, and that He is with me in the midst of it. Romans 15:13 has been my declaration for months now, that God would fill me with all peace and joy, (not based on my current circumstance) and that by the power of the Holy Spirit (not my own power) that I would ABOUND IN HOPE! I am blown away at the support system that He has blessed me with and the way that He has always provided every need. Thank you for continuing to partner with me in prayer through this journey that the Lord has me on! 

This Summer I have the privilege to help in leading a team of Desperation Leadership Academy (DLA) interns on a missions trip to Germany and Switzerland.

Details? The trip is from June 3th-17th. Here is a breakdown of the overall schedule so that you can pray specifically over what we will be doing each day:

· 3^rd-4^th           Travel Days

· 5^th-7^th           Berlin, Germany 
(Worship and Prayer Clinics, Night of Worship and Ministry, Encouraging and serving the local church)

· 17th              Travel Home

I am so excited to join with our 2^nd year DLA interns to serve and spread the good news of Jesus Christ, and also to encourage and serve the local church! I know that I cannot do it alone and would love for you to be a part of what God is going to do in and through us! The total cost for the trip is $2,400 which includes: housing, food, transportation, ministry tools, and training.  Would you be  willing to “go with me” by giving financially and pray for the whole team while we are on the trip?

For His Glory,
