Mark 16:15 He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation."

你好 (pronounced Nihao)Hello everyone! This is so exciting! My youth group has been invited to go to China on a mission trip this summer to share our faith with children our age. I'm so excited to go. There is a group of 8 kids and 4 adults leaving on June 30 and coming back July 13th. We will be learning chinese, studying the Bible and doing many fundraisers to help offset the costs of the trip. I'm in the process of sending out support letters that explain my trip more in depth.

I'm using this blog to share with you all (my friends and family all over the US) the awesome journey I've decided to take. I've been praying a lot about this trip - that I will have the perseverence to do my daily Bible readings and journaling, the fundraising and all the hard work to prepare my mind and body.

Check back weekly for my progress, both spiritually and financially. I'll probably be posting prayer requests. I hope I can count on you to lift me and my family up in prayer during this time.

Watch My Progress!

Thanks for all your support as I make my way to China.
