Leadership Training

For the past few month's I've been doing some hard core support raising so I can participate in a program my church does called Leadership Training.  I'll be living and working full-time in Wilmington, North Carolina, while ministering to people in the community, getting to know a group from my own church on an entirely new level and getting to know a group from a sister church at Virginia Tech for the first time.  I'm really nervous, but I'm also really excited!

So far, support raising has been going well.  I've sent out almost 40 letters to various people I've known from church, school, family and other various organizations and activities I've done, and I've received mostly yeses from these people and even some checks already!  It's been an incredibly humbling experience.  I hate asking for help, especially if I'm asking for money, but it's been very helpful, and I've learned a lot about people, about myself, and about God.

As I said earlier, I'm nervous about this summer, but I'm also extremely excited to see what God has in store for me!
