support letter

As most of you know, my commitment with YWAM Denver ended at the end of March. It was an honor to serve with my peers in the mission’s training field, but I know that God has other plans in store for me now. Since I left, I was able to spend the month of April with my family, which was a great opportunity to reconnect with the people whom I love.
I moved back to Denver in May, and I was blessed with a basement apartment with a family who are close friends. Living with them has been a gift from God, providing a financial break and encouragement in faith in His provision. They have two kids, Katie- Scarlett and Eli, 2 years and 2 months respectively, who I am glad to babysit on occasion.
I was blessed to get a job within a couple of weeks after returning to Denver. I started working with Home Instead Senior Care, which is a home care service for elderly people. I have a few clients and work as a chef, maid, and general home maker, as well as take care of special needs, on a part-time basis. In July, I also got a job working at Target in the bakery. The hours have been difficult, starting work at 4am some days, but I am thankful to have gotten a full-time schedule.
In the end of July, I had another opportunity to shoot a wedding, this time in Montana. A few friends and I decided to make it into a vacation, and we road tripped up together. The wedding was beautiful, and I had a great time shooting it, learning more about my craft and passion. If any of you know anyone, or you yourself need a photographer, please give me a call!
As most of you know, I have been interested in doing the School of Photography in Kona, Hawaii, but God never has the same plans as we have for ourselves. I was just accepted to a Photography school in Cape Town, South Africa. This school is designed to develop your gifts, master techniques, and finer points of polished photography. This 3 month school starts on Oct 1st. One of my good friends is leading this school and has given me this amazing opportunity.

I am asking for your help. I know God has called me there, but I need people to invest in me and be willing to work side by side with me to see God’s will realized in people’s lives. My goal is to raise $6,000. I know this is a lot of money in a couple of short months, but I am trusting God to provide for His call on my life. I have been doing all I can to save this money, but living expenses have been somewhat of a hindrance.

My expenses are as follows:
School $2500
Camera $1,600
Plane ticket $2,000

As a YWAM-based missionary school, I will be relying solely on supporters. In raising this support, I would like to avoid major debt and evade any possibility of being bound fiscally in the future.
Please pray about investing in me and my dreams, whether financially or prayerfully, by an ongoing basis or a one-time donation.
I have included a small bag. If you are unsure about donating, I am asking that you put your loose change in the bag at the end of every day. At the end of the month, please cash in the coins and send the amount of cash collected. No matter how small or miniscule it might seem, every penny helps me reach my goal, so every penny counts.
