Following the Call
"I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received."
Ephesians 4:1
To Grow Up and Pour Out
There are many things in my life I do not know, questions I have not
answered, and plans I have not made. However, John 15:5 says "I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing." I plan to
spend my life following my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, wherever He sees fit to call me. My prayer is to be continually grown up in Him and pouring out what I receive on others (see the awesome picture-prayer on the left). this page is so you can see how I am living this out!
And as always, the newest information will hit the BLOG first :D Enjoy!

Student Community
I am on the volunteer staff of the Mills Church Student Community. This is our church youth group and the community that was so vital in my own spiritual growth in high school. I am very excited about this opportunity to continue in a position of discipleship and to give back to the community that gave me SO much.
Prayer Requests:
As many of you have read in my blog posts already, you know that I am VERY excited about the work God is doing through my friend Rebekah. She is starting a ministry to reach out to the orphaned and abandoned children of Chengdu, China and it is called Hope Station (check out the website HERE). I am very excited to be joining the Hope Station efforts as a part of the Raving Fans Team. We are a group who plan to be intentional about praying for, spreading the word about and raising funds for Hope Station.

Prayer Requests:
- Wisdom as I balance my school schedule with the commitment to the students.
- Energy, patience and enthusiasm for myself and the other volunteers and our Youth Pastor, Aaron.
- The curriculum Aaron is putting together for the fall, that the students would be as prepared to receive what God has planned for them as Aaron will be to teach them.

Prayer Requests:
- Hope Station in general. Many things have happened in the first six months of this fledgling ministry. Pray for Rebekah as she works here to raise support, awareness and networks.
- For my excitement NOT dwindling and for the ideas I have to fulfill my purpose as a Raving Fan to pan out
- For the others coming on board as Fans, that we would work in concert and not competition with one another.
The Near Future
Other than Raving Fans and Student Community, the only ministry ahead is that which I live out daily, but I'll be sure to post here once upcoming things develop!
Theatre410
"Each of you should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in it's various forms." 1 Peter 4:10
Theatre410 is the post-graduation dream I have laid at the altar before God. Combining my passions for theatre and discipleship, Theatre410 (in essence) is a Christian theatre company where high school and college students can hone their craft -be it performance, design, or tech while being built up and discipled by Believers who've spent time working in the secular theatre scene. It's all still very conceptual at this point but I have given this dream up to God and trust that He will bring to fruition if it's His will.

Prayer Requests:
- Confirmation. Pray that if this is what God has, He will open the right doors.
- Other people. I don't mind independent work, but theatre is not an independent art. Pray for others with similar vision to find their way to Theatre410 (or for those with passion but yet with out a vision).
