Family and Friends, I Have Great News!

In just one week, I’ll be heading to South Africa!

Drum Roll Please… 🥁

We are going to Durban, South Africa! Over the next month and a half, my team and I will be traveling throughout Durban, working with three different ministries. I’m also excited to share that we’re having a Leader Switch—I will now be serving alongside Precious Kayli Holden as Team Rivers’ new leader!

Prayer Requests

As I embark on this journey, I ask for your prayers:

• For safe travels and God’s protection throughout this journey.

• For good health and divine guidance as we serve.

• For peace and strength during our travel days.

My Travel Itinerary

Here’s the breakdown of the travel schedule:

• Tuesday, December 17: I’ll fly from Guatemala to Miami, Florida.

• From Miami, I’ll take a 13-hour flight to Qatar. We’ll have a 12-hour layover there.

• After Qatar, we’ll fly 8 hours to Johannesburg, South Africa.

• Finally, we’ll drive 7 hours to Durban!

That’s from Tuesday to Thursday. Please keep all these travel days in your prayers!

World Race Fundraising Update

Thank you all for your incredible prayers and generosity throughout this fundraising journey. I’m currently 76% funded and so grateful for your kindness and support.

I’m reaching out for a little extra help: 

• If you feel led, please consider partnering with me as a monthly donor or one-time donor.

• It would also mean so much if you could share my blog and link with friends and family who might be interested in supporting this mission.

As I prepare for my upcoming mission trip to South Africa, I’m so excited about the opportunity to serve, grow, and experience everything God has planned for this journey. While much of the trip is covered, there are personal expenses—like food, daily essentials, and adventure days—that aren’t included in my fundraising total. These days are opportunities for rest, connection with my team, and experiencing the local culture, which will help me grow both personally and spiritually. If you feel led to support me further, any additional donations would go directly toward these personal needs. Whether it’s $5, $50, or whatever you’re comfortable with, every little bit makes a difference and means so much to me. I’m so grateful for your love, prayers, and generosity—you’re a big part of this journey, and I couldn’t do it without you! If you’d like to contribute, I’ll share my personal donation link below.

How You Can Help

• Prayer: Please pray for the Lord’s blessing, guidance, and favor.

• Sharing: Share my link or blog with others who may want to get involved.

Thank you all for being such a big part of this journey. I truly appreciate your support, love, and prayers. I’m so excited to see all that God has planned for this mission!
