Life is a journey.
As we look back, we see our footprints. Each footprint represents a time, a memory and mode of learning. However, some footprints, if not recorded, are forgotten, lost in our subconscious. And so, this blog will be a way in which I can record these memories that are to come. And this is your chance to be a part of this journey if you so choose.

As some of you may know, this next chapter in my life will be one of great stretching, learning, excitement and growing. I am officially Bolivia Bound. Here is some of what I am anticipating:
I will be leaving in september (hopefully) to help at a place called El Jordan in Santa Cruz, Bolivia. Santa Cruz is a place filled with many adults, teens and children living on the streets with no way out. El Jordan gives them the hope of a better future. But most of all, it shows them the hope found only in Jesus Christ. They offer classes on how to make things that can give them an income, childraising, and many other things.
Where do I fit into all this? Well, my specific role will be to care for, teach and mold the young children of the students.
I am so excited to have begun this journey with Avant ministries walking with me and supporting me.

So, if I raise my support in time, I hope to leave in the fall. Support raising can take a long time (a couple years) or a short amount of time (a couple weeks). All depending on the amount of people who are willing to be partners in this.
I am hoping to find:
10 people to pledge $200 per month OR
20 people to pledge $100 per month OR
4 people to pledge $500 per month

Please pray with me that this is all accomplished in His timing.
