A week from today I am leaving to go to Mali. I am flying out of Denver to New York and then traveling to Paris and the capital city of Mali: Bamako. I am going to be there until July 31st, and staying with several different families. From what I have been told, I am going to be doing intensive tribal language study, as well as kids camps and English camps.
Mali, much like the rest of the world, is a Muslim nation, where the name of Jesus is scarce. God will glorify his name and will reveal himself to the hearts of the Malian people. My desire for this summer is that He will use me to bring people to Him.
My prayer requests for this trip are:
1. That language would not be a barrier in sharing the gospel
2. That my team member and I will complement each other in teaching and leadership styles
3. That through this experience people will follow Christ
I will try and update as much as I can while I am there, with many pictures and how God is working. Thank you so much for all of your support and prayers!

I am so excited for you and I can't wait to share our hearts when we both return!!

P.S. There are just a FEW days (at the end of your stay and the beginning of mine) where we will BOTH be in AFRICA at the same time! That's pretty cool. :)
