Hey friends,
I
wanted to share about an upcoming trip that my wife, Alanna, and I are going
on. We will be going to Guatemala for a week to serve at a
Guatemala Missionary Kids Camp, in short, “Camp Guamiski.”
We
currently reside in Kansas City. Alanna is a kindergarten teacher at a private
school here in KC, I work full time and study full time at Midwestern
Seminary. Lord willing, I plan on graduating
with my bachelors and go on to get an MDiv with the hopes of moving overseas to
plant churches among the unreached.
Alanna
and I have served at this camp a few years in the past and I attended this camp
for several years as a missionary kid. This camp ministers to the
missionary kids and their families as we come alongside them and have a week of
gospel teaching and fun. During the span of 5 days, we do things like
devotionals, prayer times, and preaching times. This helps the campers to grow
in their faith and have fellowship with their friends. We also do fun things
like sports, games, team competitions, crafts, baking, and much more!
The
reason why this trip is so important and dear to my heart is the way I can
relate to the kids that we will minister to. As a
missionary kid, you often feel like you don’t fit in anywhere – in
Guatemala you are an American among Guatemalans – in the US you don’t feel like
you relate to the American kids and their culture, you feel like an
outsider. Missionary kids can relate to each other more than they can to
anyone. This camp is very beneficial to these missionary kids, just as it was
to me.
I
want to ask 2 things of you. First, would you come alongside us and
our team and pray for fruitfulness and growth in the hearts of these missionary
kids and in our hearts? Second, would you consider supporting us financially?
We have our plane tickets covered but we need an additional $1,290 for things
like food, lodging, ground transportation, and additional costs for campers.
Any funds we get beyond this would help cover other team members.
Thank
you for your prayers and support!
