Partner
I would love your partnership in this new endeavor! My heart is to be covered and sent by the Church as I step out. It is really important to me to know that I have people sending, standing with and fighting for me. It has been absolutely life-giving to see how the Lord has provided through so many of you! I truly cannot express my gratitude for your generosity and love!
If you are interested in partnering with me, check out the categories below where I’ll elaborate on my needs and hopes.
Thank you!!!
Finances for Medellin, Colombia (Oct. 13-Nov.9):
If you’d like to support me financially in Colombia, the following is a breakdown of my costs given to me by Open Arms (they do estimate high just in case)!

Rent - $100
Food - $250
Entertainment - $100 (eating out/movies/extra transport)
Transporation - $50
Ministry money - $100
Total: $600
Donated: $150
Donated: $100
Remaining: $350
Checks can be made out to:
The Open Arms Foundation
Attn: Bonita Bonasso
5345 Big Tyler Road
Cross Lanes, WV 25313
Please just attach a note that designates the funds to me! Also, upon my arrival I will likely discover many needs that the center has and the foundation has no extra funds to make these things happen. If you are interest in supporting the foundation financially as I discover specific needs, please shoot me an email and I will be in touch and let you know what their needs are and how to direct support!
Prayer
I’d love to assemble a prayer team of people committed to pray and willing to intercede for special requests throughout my time. If you’d like to be part of this team and receive updates specifically related to prayer needs, please email me!
As I’ve shared in the vision and itinerary videos, the two themes that the Lord has laid on my heart are Peace and Reconciliation. You can be praying now for the Lord to open doors for me to see Him as the God who reconciles men to Himself and to one another. Also pray for Him to use me as a minister of reconciliation as my feet are fitted with the Gospel of Peace.
Encouragement
Kinda a weird thing to ask for huh?!!! But it’s true, I will definitely need encouragement!! I would love to hear from you with words, scripture passages or insights that the Lord gives you as you consider my ministry. Words are super significant to me, so if you love to encourage and exhort people through written words, I invite you to share with me!
Creative Partnership
So sometimes people have ideas that don’t fit into a box or a category…so this category is for you! If you have an idea of how we could partner together–how I might be able to serve you while I am gone or how we could partner to meet a need in a place that I am going–I would love to hear from you! Any fresh ideas??
