Help me out? Thanks!


I am writing to you because I am in need of your help.

This summer I have the incredible privilege of co-leading a team of 8 girls to the nation of Greece, thats 10 of us total. We are going to Greece under an incredible responsibility of pioneering relationship with the Greek people so that Youth With A Mission has a foundation to bring in several team and bring the real love of Jesus to this nation, instead of the very religious, traditional church style that they are used to.

Our plan is to go in to Thessaloniki, Greece, which is a college town, and though it is summer, there are still summer sessions at the local universities. Our hope is to meet with these people, build relationship and see what doors open up. Greece is one of the largest, if not THE largest importing places for Human Trafficking in all of Europe. One of our hopes and desires as a team is to use our skill as photographers to expose many injustices, but particularly this one. Some other open doors include working with gypsies, Afghani/Iraqi refugees, orphans, and prisons. We will only really know which doors to walk through once we get there. We hope to spend some time in Athens as well, but right now we have no open doors there.

In order to actually get there, I am in need of your help! The plane ticket is already payed for, Praise the Lord! But I am still in need of ground fees, which will include housing, transportation, food, and ministry costs over the course of 75 days (June 28-Sept 12) that we will be in Greece. This is looking like I will need between $2,500-3000 to do this. I am coming to you and asking you to be a part of this. Please pray and ask the Lord how you can give. As little as $10 makes a difference in this. I know that the Lord will provide, and that He has provided each of you as a part of my life, and so now I am asking for more from each of you.
