Intro/Idea

Jake and Schwab (or whoever else reading this). This is an idea that I thought of today while thinking about what I want to do after school next summer. After talking to both of you at different times in the past. I'm not saying that I think you NEED to do it with me, but I thought it would be cool since we had talked about doing Africa in the summer of 2009.

Lately Mexico and the DR have been on my mind. That, as well as how cool it would be to go to places like Uganda, or India, or China, or Oregon/Washington for ministry and such. 

I want to take the next 12 months to pray about what to do next summer, taking a different mission field to pray and learn about each month. This would include learning about culture, statistics, location/history, needs, organizations and missions already in place, where God is moving, and whatever else we can find.

Following the year of praying, I then want to decide on a final location on where God may be leading me (or, us), and begin support raising. here is where the name comes in: 12 months to pray, then forty days to raise $4000 (a piece if need be) to cover mission costs. May need a bit more, may need a bit less, but that seems like a decent amount to set as a goal.
