Hello All,
            It’s been an amazing year.  I’m busy with papers and spending time with friends.  I’m currently just finishing my fourth year at Trinity Western University as an International Studies major with a focus in global development and a concentration in Communications.  I feel God directing me towards a life in missions.  I have had many opportunities in the past few summers to be a part of missions in Central America.  I have learned so much from my
            This summer I have been given an amazing opportunity to travel to Costa Rica with the Praying Pelican Missions.  Praying Pelican Missions us a nonprofit missions organization with a vision to impact the world for Christ.  I will be serving an 8 week internship as an intern mission trip leader.  I will be an integral part of a 3-6 person leadership team hosting short-term missions groups each week.
            We will be staying at various places across the country of Costa Rica.  My responsibilities during this time include lining up ministry opportunities and ministry sites, such as construction projects, children’s ministry, sports ministry, etc., meals, recreation, and transportation.  I would also be participating in meal preparation, worship and debrief, meetings, and generally guiding each church’s trip.  I’m so excited to see what God has for me in this season.
            I feel so blessed to have this opportunity.  I need to raise $200 a week for the duration of my 8 week internship in Costa Rica.  This means that I need to raise $1,600 by June 1st.  I am also responsible for the cost of flights down there.  If you have the means to support me financially, that would be much appreciated.  I know that finances can be tight and it might not be possible to give funds.  I would ask for your prayer.  Prayer is such a powerful tool in the kingdom of God.  I would appreciate if you could partner with me in prayer or financial support.
            I desire to see the God move powerfully in people’s lives.  I believe that God has led me to this organization and this opportunity to serve him in a new way.  I’m so excited to see what he has in store. 
Much love,
Shelby
