There are many ways you can support me during my journey in Jerusalem/West Bank! I thank you in advance for your consideration of how you can contribute to the experience :)
1. Prayer. Do not worry about anything, be in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. [Philippians 4:6-7]
The most important way you can support me during my year in Jerusalem/West Bank is through prayer, for myself, my fellow YAGMs (both in Jerusalem/West Bank and those in any of the other six locations throughout the world), and for my family.
2. Encouragement. Therefore encourage one another and build up each other, as indeed you are doing. [1 Thessalonians 5:11]
Another great way to support me is through encouragement! This can take any shape you'd like: perhaps linked with prayer, maybe (my favorite) through letters or emails, or by a Facebook post or even a comment on my blog posts! I can't guarantee at this time I will be able to respond to everyone, but I love small notes here and there.
3. Financially.
It costs over $10,000 to send a young adult to do global missions work with YAGM, and the ELCA generously pays for over 60% for each participant which covers airfare, health insurance, housing, food, a small stipend, as well as a departure and re-entry retreat. Each participant is responsible for raising $4,000 for their year of service. If you would like to make a tax deductible donation, send it to:
