A 2-Year Bible School Journey in the Philippines π΅π
Dear friends, family, and ministry partners,
Iβm so thankful and humbled to share with you about a new season that God is leading me into.
By the grace of God, I have been given the opportunity to attend VBI Bible School in the Philippines for the next two years. I truly believe this is a step of faith and an important season of preparation for what God has ahead.
God has been so faithful throughout this journey. Through the kindness, prayers, encouragement, and generosity of many friends and partners, I have already been able to raise the funds for my flight to the Philippines. I was also able to renew my passport before leaving Cambodia. For both of these provisions, I am deeply grateful and can only say, Thank You, Jesus! β€οΈ
I am planning to leave Cambodia on September 10, 2026, and begin this new chapter of studying God's Word, growing in faith and character, and preparing for future ministry.
I have also received a scholarship that covers my Bible school tuition, which is such a great blessing. In addition, the church will help cover half of my visa expenses.
Even with these provisions, there are still monthly living and school-related expenses that I will need to take care of throughout the two years.
Because of this, I would like to humbly invite those who feel led to partner with me through prayer and/or monthly financial support during this season.
This is not something I want to walk through alone. I am thankful for every person who has already been part of this journey, and I would be honored to have you continue walking alongside me as I follow where God is leading.
