Belgium Update

I am still in The States! Currently I am feverishly fundraising to get to Belgium.

The past few months have been filled with many blessings!

--A family on Young Life Committee in Western Prince William County is donating their airline miles to send me to Belgium.

--A friend from work is donating a cell phone with SIM Card capability.

--Friends and family have donated items to two successful yard sales.

--The Luau Fundraiser in June was a HUGE success. Thank you everyone who attended and supported the cause. Special thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Homan for hosting, to my small group for making it happen, and to the program team for entertainment!


On August 1st, two Belgian Young Life kids, Nate and Nath came to the U.S. to serve at a YL camp in New York. Nate (left) is currently a dining hall server and Nath (right) is a grounds keeper on the Out-Door Crew Team.

Before going to Lake Champion in Glen Spey, N.Y. to volunteer a month of their time and abilities, the boys toured Washington, D.C. They absolutely loved the beautiful city and monuments. One of their favorite monuments was the Lincoln Memorial that sits on the opposite side of the Washington Monument across the Reflecting Pool.

Nate and Nath met each other in Jeunesse et Vie (JV), Belgian Young Life. They have been friends for the past three years and have grown in their faith together.

Thank you to everyone that has supported me or is supporting me. It is awesome to know that people have a heart for reaching high school students, specifically in Europe.

Please continue to pray for financial support as I must still raise $15,000. I'm praying for 30 individuals to support me through Young Life at $100 per month or 60 at $50 per month. The fundraising experience has proved to be a quite humbling and challenging one. I have faith that God will provide.
