I have so many ministries near and dear to my heart that I want to share with others. If you are looking for a great place to serve, support, or just pray for, here are some great options – near and far!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/td>My church – Grace Community Church of the Nazarene in Spring Hill, KS<\/a> – we are currently fundraising for a building project – specifically because we have outgrown our space for kids and youth! I’m very proud of our church family and the leadership and vision here; and would love if you want to give to this beautiful place of family & ministry!<\/td><\/tr>
\"\"<\/td>Nazarene Compassionate Ministries<\/a> – you can give to support specific causes (natural disaster relief, refugees, etc.) or you can even adopt a child for $30\/month. Our family supports a couple of kids that we get to write to and watch grow up!<\/td><\/tr>
\"\"<\/td>This past summer (July\/August 2023), McKenzie and I got to go serve in Quito, Ecuador with a team from our church. We got to partner with dear friends and missionaries Angel & Krista Sigui AND we got to do some construction at a beautiful and growing church site. Monte Sinai definitely has a special place in our hearts, BUT they need more funds to finish their building! Consider giving here<\/a>! <\/td><\/tr>
\"\"<\/td>Also, Angel & Krista<\/a> are raising their own funds too, so support them here!<\/td><\/tr>
\"\"<\/td>In May\/June 2024, we are heading to Rwanda with our church! We have an on-going ministry relationship in Gisenyi Rwanda where Simon and Caritas Pierre lead an amazing work, including a medical clinic (soon to be an official hospital).  They have an opportunity to receive a $450,000 donation of medical supplies from Project C.U.R.E.,  but they need to pay for shipping. The cost is $35,000 for a 40\u2019 container. Want to help?  Here\u2019s the link<\/a>!<\/td><\/tr>
\"\"<\/td>Some other wonderful ministry leaders and friends, Josh and Shannon Herndon, are serving at Native American Christian Academy<\/a> in Sun Valley, Arizona; and the work they are doing is so inspiring. Please donate <\/a>or schedule a visit to help!<\/td><\/tr>
\"\"<\/td>My Father’s House in Paola, KS<\/a> is doing amazing work for the rural homeless population by provding shelter and counseling for folks to get back on their feet! And they have a new big dream to add affordable small housing too!<\/td><\/tr>
\"\"<\/td>One of my volunteer roles is serving as the Nazarene Missions International President for both my local church and for the Kansas City District – and in that role, I have had the opportunity to meet so many wonderful people serving God across the globe. Please consider partnering with any of these amazing missionaries<\/a>!<\/td><\/tr>
\"\"<\/td>The Realtor Relief Foundation<\/a> is another thing important to me as a Realtor because it assists home owners who have been impacted by natural disasters. So often our home is our biggest investment and it can be devestating when disaster strikes.<\/td><\/tr>
\"\"<\/td>I owe so much of who I am today and how Eli and I practice ministry and hospitality to the HUGE role ACTS Campus Ministry<\/a> played in my life as a college student and young adult in St. Louis. I pray that every college student has a group and leaders in their life like I found at ACTS!<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
