Special Thanks to Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Glenville, NY

A very special thanks to my home congregation, Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Glenville, NY, for their generous support of my Young Adults in Global Mission ministry. This congregation has supported me as a Seminarian, not only financially, but also through both prayer and ministry leadership opportunities, and has continued to support me on my newest venture to Palestine through a substantial monetary donation. I am so very humbled for all of their support and am excited to spread the ministry of Good Shepherd to another part of the world.


If you or your congregation would like to know how to support me during my year of service in Palestine, visit the "Ways to Support" tab near the top of the webpage!


Three months until I'm in Jerusalem/West Bank!!!

Fundraising update!

I am absolutely blown away and sincerely humbled at the support you have all shown me since I first announced my impending year of service in Jerusalem/West Bank. From voicing your well-wishes to attending the Improv Comedy Night and Global Missions Benefit Concert, from sending cash anonymously in the mail to handing me checks on the street, I can't thank you enough for your prayers, encouragement and financial support.

I'm so very proud to announce that I am over 1/4 of the way to raising the $4,000 I need for my year of service (which covers airfare, housing, food, basic health insurance, a small bit of pocket money, and training). As of tonight, the Lutheran Theological Seminary at Gettysburg community alone has raised over $1,000! This brings the grand total of funds raised to over $1,300! AMAZING!

Additionally, I've also tentatively been considered for a speaking engagement in the Fall of 2012! That is both exciting and mind-blowing! A SPEAKING ENGAGEMENT!!!! Wow! It pays to know pastors!

That is it for now; I must update the email list for my newsletters that will go out over the next year. If you're interested in being added to the list, contact me at the email located in the "How you can support Courtney" page :)


Salaam (peace)
