And the Journey Begins. . .

Hello friends, 

So hopefully you have ended up at my blog curious to why I am going to Bosnia. 

Let's start at the beginning: 

I was first introduced to Christianity in 6th grade at Faith Lutheran, a private christian school. During the seven years, I built a strong understanding and belief of the Gospel, Jesus, and the Bible. At UNLV I joined a college ministry organization where I was able to redefine my faith. InterVarsity has challenged me to grow in my identity as a Christian and has taught me how to live out God's will. Through this process, I was called to be part of the team going to Bosnia. 

I will be spending six weeks during the summer in Bosnia, building relationships with the Bosnian students, teaching english and helping plant churches.

I will be going with 4 other UNLV students: Will, Carlos, Ben and Scott. I'm super excited to be going with them. Will, Carlos and Ben will be going to Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia. Scott and I will be going to Zenica which is 40 miles north of Sarajevo. 

There's a total for 15 students going to Bosnia. 10 to Sarajevo and 5 to Zenica

Now, you may be asking: Where is Bosnia? 

Bosnia is in Eastern Europe, across from Italy near the coast of the Adriatic Sea



Here you can see where the two teams will be going: Sarajevo and Zenica

In order to make my trip possible I need to raise $4,000

Would you please consider giving towards this ministry to send my to Bosnia. Please giver and pray towards my goal as you are led. 

Any amount of donation is helpful =] 

If you are interested in helping me out, please let me know. 

I will be using this blog as an update on how my fundraising is doing and will be using this during my trip. 

thanks!
