Friends and family,

Last year I stepped out in faith and went on my first missionary trip to New York City. I didn’t know exactly what to expect, but I trusted that God had a purpose in sending me there.

That trip changed me.

I cried, I learned, I taught, and I grew in ways I never expected. I prayed with people, listened to their stories, and witnessed firsthand how powerful even a simple moment of faith can be. I may not have saved thousands of souls, but I truly believe God used me to reach at least one person who needed Him—and in that moment, I realized that one soul matters. If that was the only reason I went, then the mission was already worth it.

But something else happened on that trip too.

As I prayed for others, God worked in my own heart. The person who left for New York is not the same person who came back. My faith grew deeper, my purpose became clearer, and the flame in me grew brighter—to serve and spread the Gospel. That experience brought me closer to God, and it strengthened my commitment to continue serving and growing in His glory.

Because of that, I’ve been given the opportunity to return to New York City for my second missionary trip, and I truly believe this next mission will be even more powerful.

This July, our team will once again go into communities to pray with people, share the Gospel, encourage the brokenhearted, and remind people that they are loved and not forgotten. We will serve however we can—through conversation, prayer, kindness, and meeting real needs.

But I can’t do this alone.

To make this mission possible, I need to raise $1,100 by middle of July to cover travel and mission expenses. I’m asking you to prayerfully consider partnering with me in this mission. Every donation—no matter the size—helps send me to be the hands and feet of Christ.

If giving financially isn’t possible, I would be grateful for your prayers for our team, for the people we will meet, and for God to move in powerful ways while we are there.

I truly believe God is not finished with this mission yet—and I’m honored to be able to go back and continue the work He started.

Thank you for believing in me, supporting me, and being part of this journey of faith.

With faith and gratitude,

Adrian (“Age”)
