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. These times have been profound and powerful as I've watched such a beautiful move of God in my own heart and in so many around me. He has stirred us all with such a deep burning and a fresh hunger for the Word, and for intimacy with Him. Gap Year & MAPS TrainingAs I look ahead, I have been stirred to take a gap year for the Lord to ground me even further in intimacy, prayer, and the Word. And then, to take that heart of worship and love for God's Word that He has cultivated in me, to the nations. Where the Lord has led me to give myself in these ways is an organization called MAPS, Ministry of Advancing Prayer and Sending, in Richmond, Virginia. I am planning to attend their Frontier Missions School, where I will be trained in prayer, identity in Christ, worship leading, and frontier missions in a family oriented context. After the training phase, I will be placed on a team that will be sent together for 90 days into an unreached nation, serving in day and night prayer and evangelism at one of MAPS bases in strategic cities across the 10/40 window. Will you join me?For me to step forward in this training, discipleship, and outreach that I believe God is calling me to, I need the financial support of a partnership team. The total cost for the Fall training phase, including tuition, travel, and living expenses, is about $8,000, and an additional $8,500 for the Spring missions trip. Through senior graduation gifts, savings, and hard work this summer I have raised $5,000/$8,000, with only $3,000 left to go by Aug 29th. Reader, will you prayerfully consider partnering with me financially? Your one-time gift or reoccurring contribution will make an impact by enabling me to fully participate in the MAPS internship and equip me as a worship leader and missionary. To partner with me, contributions can be made via CashApp (through my father's), Zelle (contact me), and a tax-deductible option coming soon.
Thank you for prayerfully considering this request and for your continued support and encouragement. I am so expectant for all the Lord has ahead and I look forward to sharing updates with you along the way. In Christ, — David P.S. I would love to hear from you! Feel free to hit reply to this email and let me know how I can pray for you, if you have any questions, or if you want to send me a prayer or encouragement. Looking forward to hearing from you! |

Hey Reader, Just over a month into the training phase here at MAPS! I feel like I’ve been here much longer than that, and I’m also thrilled that I have eight more months ahead of me - both of continued training and then outreach. MAPS Update I cannot explain my gratitude and love for this community—this family. From daily corporate prayer, rich and compelling Bible teaching, to “Thankfulness Thursdays,” fall festivals, and camping trips, this training time is far beyond what I even imagined...
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. Roommate took us to a sweet cliff jumping spot. Orientation We 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...
Hello Reader, The transition from KC to Richmond has officially begun. Here is a quick update. After three years, I finished up my last day of work at the pizza shop. And now, as I write this, I am on my way to visit my grandma for some quality time before departing to VA at the end of the month. 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. AWAKE Gathering Financial Update...
