It begins

Hey Reader, So it begins We made it. My sister Maddie and I arrived last week in Richmond, Virginia, and have jumped right in to the rhythm and routine of this MAPS global family. OrientationWe have enjoyed getting to meet the other students as well as the staff and community on the missions base. As I write to you, we are at the end of Orientation week and I find myself so expectant for what the Lord is going to do in these next months — not only in my own heart, but in all of those around me. Already, I am being marked by the great commission and assignment of Jesus — so much more than I imagined. I can’t wait to unpack all that’s ahead. Prayer RequestReader, your prayers and financial partnership have truly brought me to this moment, and I am so grateful. Looking forward, I would love prayer for grace and peace as I walk through this big transition and settle into all the new things in this community. Maranatha, — David |

Next week, I will host one final AWAKE Gathering, the youth worship and Bible study I have lead since last Fall. After that, it's all packing and preparing from here.

Hello Reader, I hope this letter finds you well. Maybe you are like me and can't believe that summer has flown by and we are in August already! I wanted to share an update with you that is summarized in the 1min video I recorded for you below: Here is the gist. As you might know, I just graduated high school, and the Lord has done so much in my heart this past year. Early last fall, the Lord awakened me, along with my friends, to start a Bible study that we've been doing weekly in my garage....
