I have always loved kids, and so I volunteered to teach a <span class=\"blueText\">Sunday School Class<\/span>. I soon became the 2 &amp;3 year old&rsquo;s teacher and taught them for <span class=\"redText\"><span class=\"bigText-red\">SIX<\/span> years<\/span>. I have many wonderful stories about the kids that I taught, and loved being with them every Sunday morning. <\/p>\n<p>\tThe reason that I quit teaching was because I was going to <span class=\"boldText-blue\">New Tribes Bible Institute<\/span>. This was the first stage in training to become a Missionary. The school was in Wisconsin. This was my <span class=\"redText\">first <\/span>move away from home and a <span class=\"boldText-red\">hard<\/span> one to make. I do not know if I would have made it without the hand of God on my shoulder giving me strength. My first year was really tough with learning how to get alone with a bunch of girls, after only growing up with two brothers. But God saw that I got through it. <\/p>\n<p>\tDuring that summer I took a <span class=\"boldText-red\">short term missions trip into Brazil.<\/span> We went to build a school in a native village. God completely led the way down there, and that is where my heart has stayed. I loved it down there, being with the <span class=\"boldText-blue\">people<\/span>, the<span class=\"boldText-red\"> culture<\/span>, and <span class=\"boldText-red\"><span class=\"boldText-blue\">hope<\/span><\/span> to return  someday.<\/p>\n<p>\tWhen I was in Wisconsin, I helped out at the <span class=\"blueText\">Milwaukee Rescue  Center<\/span>. There I helped to tutor children that lived in the area, or lived at the center. It was really fulfilling to <span class=\"redText\">help out the kids<\/span>. It was also hard to say good bye to the ones that I had gotten to know on a personal level. <\/p>\n<p>\tNow I am in Missouri. I am at the<span class=\"bigText-red\"> Mission Training Center <\/span>working on the last of my training to be a missionary. While I am here, I help out in <span class=\"boldText-blue\">Young Life<\/span>. It is teen program for the High School Student where I am at. We meet on Wednesdays together for fun and <span class=\"boldText-blue\"><span class=\"boldText-red\">fellowship<\/span><\/span>. We also try to make it to games, and other actives that the kids participate in. We hope to start up a girls Bible study on Sundays. So if you would pray for that to work out, and for the girls to want to come that would be great.  <\/p>\n<p>\tMy over all goal is to be a <span class=\"boldText-blue\">tribal<\/span> Missionary in <span class=\"bigText-red\">Brazil<\/span>. All of the things that I am doing here in the states help to prepare me for my over all goal. Thank you for you interest in the things that I am doing. You too are a part for helping me <span class=\"boldText-blue\">reach <\/span>that overall goal.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"bigText-red\">ThAnK yOu FoR eVeRyThInG tHaT yOu ArE dOiNg To HeLp Me On My WaY!  <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My ministry started when I was 14.
