So why am I starting this blog? I have been given a unique opportunity to minister to high school students that don't necessarily feel like they have a place to call home. I have been accepted by the Black Forest Academy to be a resident student in their housing for missionary kids. These kids are sent by their parents(missionaries) to this school to get a strong education while keeping Christ as the root of their learning. I have a great love for students and bringing them closer to their Christ who saved them while preparing them for their adult lives.
The Black Forest Academy is in the southwest corner of Germany in a small town called Kandern. It is located about 1/2 hour north of Switzerland.
I am leaving for Germany at the very beginning of August and will be there for two years. For this I am not paid a salary. This allows the Black Forest Academy to keep their costs to the students down. I therefore will have to raise my own support and go through a mission organization. The one I am going through is Janz Team Ministries. I need to raise around $1500 a month and also some first time startup costs. Hopefully in the next little while, I will have my support letter and pledge form on this blog so that you can download it and read and use it if you feel called.
