Hello Beautiful Human!

It is with overflowing joy that I have accepted the opportunity to serve as a Young Adult in Global Mission volunteer in Rwanda starting in August. I will be one of more than 70 young adults serving on behalf of the ELCA in 9 different country programs around the world!

This journey is all about accompaniment; walking along side the people of the Lutheran Church of Rwanda and those in the communities I will visit with. Our God is a relational God, so my ultimate goal is to build relationships with the Spirit in the center, both while I am abroad and especially when I come back to the States. It is my sincere hope that this experience will shape me into a stronger advocate for messages of love and member of the Global body of Christ. Please consider helping me grow in my faith and love towards all humanity, whether that be through a financial contribution, prayers, love, letters, or any other support you can give me in this time. 

Thank you for joining me and for your love, in whatever way that may come – every gift truly matters! 

About Young Adults in Global Mission

The ELCA’s Young Adults in Global Mission program provides young adults, ages 21-29, the opportunity to grow in their faith and work in partnership with our global companions. Young adults in the program serve in churches, schools and social service ministries. Currently the program is engaged in work in Argentina/Uruguay, Australia, Central Europe, Jerusalem/West Bank, Madagascar, Mexico, Rwanda, Senegal, and the United Kingdom.

The total cost for one young adult in the program is $15,000. Each young adult is tasked with raising a minimum of $5,000 to help support their year of service. The ELCA commits to raising the additional $10,000 per volunteer through generous congregations and donors. If more than $5,000 in gifts is received, the additional funds will be help to support other young adult volunteers and ensure that there is a sustainable source of revenue for future the Young Adults in Global Mission program.
