It is hard for me to believe that my time here in Portugal has almost reached an end. On Saturday my team and I will be boarding a plane and returning to Canada, for two final weeks of debrief and the conclusion of the TREK program. The last year has gone by so incredibly fast. It has been an amazing time of learning and growing, of serving and learning new things. God has taught me so much about steadfastness - about being firmly rooted in him, and serving out of my relationship with him.
God has done great things here, and I know that his work here is not finished yet. He was here long before we arrived, and he will be here long after we leave. As people come to know him for the first time, or committed Christians take new steps of faith, I see God’s heart for his people here in Portugal. He draws people to himself.
A hard reality of ministry is good-byes. It is sad to say good-bye, and yet I am also looking to connecting with family and friends when I return. I have realized that for every last there will be another first, and for every good-bye there will be another hello. It is still sad, but I know that as God had such good things in store for me over this last year, so he has many more good things in store for me over this next one.
As my time here comes to a close, I still need to fundraise $3,625. Please prayerfully consider whether you would support me in what God has been doing here. Whether it is $5, $50, or $500, everything helps and is a gift from God. No amount is too small - I am so grateful for each donation, and I know God is leading each person in how to give. If you would like to donate to my, you can do so here:

Thank you so much for all your support and prayers for me over the last nine months. I have truly felt so encouraged and blessed by it. If you would like to hear more in person about what God has been doing in my life and in Portugal, I would love to connect with you this summer!
