It has begun! A new chapter! For many of you this is your first update in a very long time. Some of you are family, some are friends, some know me from my work in the city, some from church, and others through ONE Denver. I'm writing you to announce that I have begun a new journey. I am pursuing full time missions and ministry work.
Most of you know that many years ago I spent some time with Youth With A Mission and have been working in community outreach and volunteer ministry for the past 8 years. So this new venture is not totally foreign nor surprising. What it is though, is a HUGE LEAP of FAITH! Simply because I'm stepping into a mission which is not only intimately connected with my heart but intimately connected to God's. It's what God has being growing in me for the past ten years and now is releasing. It will require me to trust more, give more, and grow more in my relationship with Him. So here I am, laying it all out on the table, praying that the Father's will be done in and through me.
For over a year the Lord has been whispering to me "Get ready. I'm about to stir up new things!"...So this past year I've been waiting intently, and most times impatiently trying to figure out what it was He was stirring up. Some of you close to me know that I've had many ideas and theories...and honestly at the end of the day I didn't see this coming, but can say that where I am at right now has been by God's hand, highlighting and confirming every step of the way. I can't say that I've been dreaming about where I am, but I know that it is the right place and I'm excited for the journey ahead!
My Mission: To partner with developing leaders, churches, and organizations in telling their story; supporting and encouraging their work, and releasing their ministry.
My goal is to be available and able to move quickly and strategically towards the needs that God highlights. I have distinct characteristics and giftings for building up the Body of Christ and serving the needs of this world. Throughout my life I've seen a disparity in resources for developing leaders, churches, and organizations. It is my hope to be able to subsidize this need by being missional. Through leveraging the resources who are my community (You and Me) We can rise up and effectively serve without being a burden to the people who need the help; while providing strategic, efficient, and professional technical assistance and support. My role may take many forms such as: discipleship, strategic planning, program development, leadership development, outreach - (events & missions), marketing, and video production.

Over the next 3 - 6 months I will be fundraising so that I can pursue this call full time. I will be prayerfully asking for time, resources, and finances from my community. Will you pray with me? Will you consider if this mission is something that God may be stirring up in you as well? Maybe He would have you partner with me by giving of your time, resources, and finances?
