Spain Newsletter

I am so excited to share with you what God is doing in my life. i just
graduated this past May and i felt God calling me to take time to learn
his word and live in community with other followers. My passion for God
and missions truly began when my family moved to Africa in 2006. I feel
in love with with the people and reached a spiritual maturity level
that i had never encountered before. At the time, the Leadership
Academy in Spain was talked about, but not up and running yet. However,
i was so excited for what might happen there. When i knew i was moving
back to the states i had planned to graduate high school then take a
year to experience God and find myself.

Around May the school year had been winding down and i had decided to
just stay in Colorado and work for a year. It was comfortable, but i
didn't really know what to do with my life or where it was going. After
a lunch date with my Dad i had decided Spain. In that conversation my
dad had challenged me to dig deeper and gain a stronger knowledge of
God and life. I went home that night and prayed about moving yet again
to a foreign land. This meant giving up a lot, but after a few days God
told me to go.

Which brings me to now. it is so exciting to here about all the
amazing, life changing things going on in Spain that i soon get to be a
part of. I feel like this year is going to be a growing year for me.
It's going to be a six-month long internship, costing all together
about $8,000. I'd like to ask for your help as I step out in obedience.
By praying for me as I prepare and go to Spain, you will have a direct
impact on my ministry. Prayer is so important in life and this project
is no exception.

In addition, will you consider supporting me financially? i would like
if people began to support me monthly starting in January. I need to
buy my ticket ASAP, so, if you would like to help with that, we can do
that now!! The term starts the beginning of January. Please know that
all financial support is sincerely appreciated. Please send
contributions G42 or AIM and a statement of your giving will be mailed
to you at the end of the year. I am also willing, for those of you
locally, to work for support. Dog-sitting, housecleaning, car washing,
etc. Just let me know if you'd like to take up that offer.

I look forward to what God will do in my life through this experience.
Your support and prayers mean a great deal to me. Thank you for sharing
in this opportunity with me to influence the lives of many people, not
just in Spain, but my life and the lives of the rest of the group.

Thank You for your Time,

Alexis
