Dear Friends & Family,
As many of you know, the past couple of years, and of late, have been ones of deep change, growth, healing, and rediscovery for me. One of the greatest gifts to come from this season has been finding and growing in my relationship with God, while also being surrounded by incredible friends, family, and a new Church family that has helped me reconnect to faith, purpose, and service in a completely new way.
I’ve also developed a relationship with Jesus that has brought a steadiness and grounding to my life that I honestly had not experienced before. In a season and circumstances that could have easily felt overwhelming and devastating, I’ve instead felt deeply supported, guided, and loved in ways that continue to change me from the inside out. It has become less about religion for me and more about learning how to live with greater trust, peace, surrender, and connection.
In August 2026, I have the opportunity to travel to Indonesia as part of a service-focused outreach experience centered around helping others, building connections, and supporting local communities. While this trip is about serving others, I also know it will be a defining experience in my own spiritual growth and journey of becoming who God is calling me to be.
For me, this season of life has become less about achievement and more about meaning. Less about striving and more about learning how to love, serve, and live with greater faith, humility, and compassion. I truly believe this experience will shape my heart in lasting ways.
I’m reaching out because I would deeply appreciate your prayers, encouragement, and support as I prepare for this journey. If you feel led to contribute financially, any amount from $5 to $500 or more would mean so much and help offset travel and service-related expenses that are about $2,000. Any amount I raise over $2,000 will go to support others on the trip, as well. Whatever is in your heart is truly appreciated, even if it’s just your prayers.
Most importantly, I would love for you to feel part of this journey with me. Anyone who contributes will receive updates along the way so you can follow the experience, the people we meet, and the ways God is moving throughout the trip.
Thank you for being part of my life and for supporting me in this new chapter. Your love, encouragement, prayers, and generosity mean more than I can say.
With love and gratitude,
Liz
