Dear Friends and Family,

I would like to take the time to share with you an amazing experience that God is leading me to for this summer. For many years now, it has been my desire to participate in a foreign mission. One place that has especially been on my heart has been Africa.

Ever since my conversion, I felt God calling me to do some sort of ministry within Africa, yet the situation has never presented itself…until now. This summer I will be traveling with a group of young adults to Accra, Ghana, Africa.

I will be going for the first week of their three week trip, leading worship for the missionaries and locals, as well as participating in the work projects of the missionaries in Accra.

While God has opened up a door for me to grow in service, the best part is that He is calling those around me to participate in their own ways.

First, you can strengthen this mission by joining me as a prayer partner. A prayer partner commits to pray in a specific way for this mission. For example you can commit to offering up a mass intention or pray a rosary.

You can certainly pray for us more often but we are asking for a specific prayer commitment because you are such a vital part of our mission and we would like to pray for you in return. Though this is often underestimated, I view and value this as one of the most important roles for someone to have.

Another way you can support us is through helping me reach my financial goals. As of now, I am estimating the trip to cost roughly $2500. This includes the air fair, shots, food while in Africa as well as materials for the work project.

As many of you know, there is no way that I can fully pay for the cost of this mission. I am asking that you would prayerfully considering donating any amount to me. Whether it be $1 or $200, no donation will go unappreciated. God has called me to this mission. He has prepared me for years for this mission. He is teaching me in this to trust in Him, and in the Church. All Glory to Him!

If you are interested in this, please look at jonamdg.blogspot.com for updated information like a running tally and added list of materials still needed.

Whether you feel led to contribute financially, through prayer, or both, all of your support is appreciated and needed. God has not only called and prepared me for this experience, but I strongly feel that He is inviting those in my life to participate in this as well, even if it isn’t through physically going there!

You are an important part in the way that God is working in me, and will work through me! Please prayerfully consider your part in this mission, and know that I will be praying for you and your family.
