Boilin..

Its my last week in Jackson. I woke up this morning and my roommate told me that the city's pipes burst and we had to boil all our water before using it.. for the second time this year.

I'm gonna miss this city and all its quirks.

Support letter

Friends and family,

Many of you know my time in school at Belhaven is coming to a close and I will be graduating this summer. My experience in college has been exciting and challenging both artistically and spiritually and I am looking forward to the next season in my life.

This coming October I hope to attend the Urban Cultures Discipleship Training School (DTS) in Montréal with the Christian ministry with Youth With A Mission. Most of my life I have been traveling with my family to Quebec for both missions and to spend time with friends, and now I feel the Lord is calling me to spend some extended time there working in ministry.

The heart of YWAM’s outreach in Montréal is to initiate love towards those in the city, by ministering through the arts, social justice programs, church planting, working with immigrants and refugees, working with college students and building relationships with those of other cultures and religions.

The purpose of the DTS program is to gain an understanding of post-modern urban culture and to learn how to live as incarnational followers of Christ and to minister in that context. During our time we will participate in classroom training and bible study, work along side local ministries, serve as a ministry intern, and participate in evangelism projects just to name a few. I am also really excited to have the to opportunity to operate in the artistic gifts of dance and photography, gifts that the Lord has given me and I have spent the past several years learning to use well.

The Lord has burdened my heart for this great multi-cultural and French speaking city and I am looking forward to serving him in any capacity.

I am asking for your prayers and personal support. The cost of the 8-month program is $9000, which includes transportation, tuition (classes and ministry), and living expenses. I am trusting the Lord to help me raise support by 10/1/10 and people such as yourself will be important in accomplishing this.

Any help you can give is much appreciated. I will be updating supporters regularly through emails, letters and a blog.

Financial support can be mailed to:
