Dear Friends and Family,
I am SO excited to share that I have been accepted officially into the World Race Gap Year! The World Race is a non-profit organization based in Georgia that sends groups out to do mission work all around the world. I will be participating in the Activation Route and will be away for 9 months (August 27, 2022 – May 31, 2023). The given description of the route is to “Partner with local ministries to build sustainability and give hope to their communities.”
During these 9 months I will travel to Cambodia, Thailand, South Africa, and Guatemala. In each country I will be staying with a different ministry and will have a variety of different focuses.

PRAYER. Please begin praying for this God-called and inspired journey. Some things you could pray for are my teammates, the people whose lives we will touch, health, safety, trust in God, and that God would provide financially.
Thank you so much for supporting and loving me as I begin this process, I cannot wait to see what God will do through me and in me!
