Dear Friends & Family,

I pray you are all doing well! This up and coming summer I have been given an amazing opportunity to participate in a mission trip to Panama City, Panama. This is something that has been on my heart for some time and I feel strongly that now is my time to go!

Panama City is one of the gateways to human trafficking in Central America. 1 in 5 containers that travel through the Panama Cannel carries trafficked girls in it. Incest is also prevalent in many homes in the city and has become an open door for girls to be easily persuaded into the sex slave industry. Girls literally do not want to go home at the end of the day. Panama City officials want to do everything they can to make the city known for being a safe and life-giving place for these girls to grow up. We have been invited to host a conference for young girls in the city this summer. And they have even opened public schools for the Gospel to be shared in the classrooms because they know the kind of positive difference God’s Word makes in people’s lives (this is not a Christian government). The people are incredibly open and hungry for God’s truth and the true hope found only in Christ.

From July 29-August 6th, I have the chance to serve alongside of missionaries there and help them reach upwards of 10,000 young girls in Panama City. I believe with all my heart that this is an incredible open door for the Kingdom of Heaven to advance here on earth in a very tangible way and cannot wait to literally be the hands and feet of Jesus!

Would you please think and pray about supporting me in one of two ways, or both?! First and foremost, I truly need your prayers. Life has shown me the amazing power of prayer, and the constant need for it, and this trip will be no different!

Secondly, I need to raise $1,600 for this missions trip. Would you please consider supporting me with a financial gift? All donations are tax-deductible.

Thank you so much for your consideration and support! It wouldn’t be possible for me to do something like this without the love and prayers of so many family and friends! I am SO EXCITED to see partner with what God is doing in Panama City! Thank you and God Bless!

Love,

April
