Please support my call to serve as a volunteer for the ELCA’s Young Adults in Global Mission program!

I am honored and humbled to have been given the opportunity to serve as a Young Adults in Global Mission volunteer in Jerusalem and the West Bank, starting in September. While I do not yet know the details of my specific placement, I do know that I, along with my fellow JWB cohort members, will be serving in accompaniment with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Jordan and the Holy Land.

As part of accepting this call, I am asked to raise at least $5,000. Please help me reach my goal by supporting my fundraising efforts with a donation today. Through your donation, you join me on this journey as I grow in my own faith and walk in partnership with our global companions. A donation of any amount will be meaningful, and I am grateful for your generosity. If you are interested in following along with my journey, please let me know and I will add you to the email list for my monthly newsletter!

This year of service follows directly on the heels of another in my hometown of Denver, Colorado. I have learned and grown in many challenging and unexpected ways this year, and I hope to continue to learn, grow, and form meaningful relationships in this new cultural context. The opportunity to immerse myself in a new culture, language, and community holds immense meaning for me, especially in the wake of COVID. I hope you will consider supporting me in this through your donation. Thank you!

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 and Uruguay, Jerusalem and the West Bank, 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 individual donors. If more than $5,000 in gifts is received, the additional funds will help support other young adult volunteers and the future of the Young Adults in Global Mission program.
