In August 2026, I took part in my church's annual mission trip to Brazil, where I got to see the Lord move in ways I could not have imagined. In this experience, I got a calling to take part in other missions my church has to offer. I enjoy helping others, and serving the community is where I’ve been finding myself and finding God, so taking part in these trips would be an amazing experience. Below are little descriptions of each trip, including what we do there and why we help.

West Virginia: We will be helping a church in Appalachia build or repair things for a residential area made for kids aging out of the foster care system. There are many kids in foster care due to the rise in drug abuse, and Convoy of Hope partners with churches around this area to help the kids who are taken from their parents because of it.

El Salvador: We will be helping a church in El Salvador that works with people who need help finding jobs or making a living. We do this to help show women their worth and value in this world, and fight the oppression that holds them down in their communities

Brazil: To take part in a water filter project. We go to help distribute water filters to people living in the Amazon who don’t have access to clean drinking water. We also helped renovate the Vineyard Church in Belem, and helped assist in a dental ministry that gives people living in the Amazon access to dental care.

It would mean so much to be able to be a part of all these, and any donation, prayer or share would help a lot.
