God has opened the door for me to go on a short-term mission trip to Istanbul, Turkey with Scottsdale Bible Church June 27 – July 6, 2025. We will be sharing God’s love and will be serving the Lord by ministering to Syrian refugees living in Turkey.

God is opening my eyes to a world that is in desperate need of understanding the love of Jesus. While it would be so easy to remain in my comfort zone and let others go on this trip, I am convinced that God is asking me to be a part of the team. While I am sure that God will use us to shine his love in the midst of the unrest in that region, I’m also convinced that I have lessons to learn through my participation.

My reason for writing to you is twofold. First, I am earnestly requesting your prayer support. We know that nothing of eternal value happens without prayer. Please pray for me and our team, and for people to see the love of God through us.

Second, I am asking if you would prayerfully consider helping me with the costs of this mission trip. The total cost will be $3,100 and is due by May 27. This will cover all our travel and lodging as well as ministry supplies.

If you would like to support me financially in this mission experience, you can give online with a credit or debit card by visiting this link.

If you would prefer to donate by check, please email me back with your mailing address and I will send you a postage paid envelope which you can use to make the donation. I will include instructions for making the donation in the mail.

All contributions are tax deductible.

You are very important to me. Thank you for praying. Thank you also for considering to be a part of my support team.
