I am spending the next 18 months living in South America and Asia as staff for the EDGE program. This program is designed to call out the leadership abilities that I believe God has placed in all of us. There are so many things grabbing for our attention and our worship, trying to sabotage our identity and take men out of the fight. Here at EDGE we focus on what God has said about us and with that what he calls us to. Edge is a six-month leadership program designed to help you become a leader, passionate about serving Jesus, willing to stand for truth, and courageous in caring for the hearts of others. As a leader I am guiding young men through this intense journey that God has for them. Mentoring, praying, discipling, and calling them higher to the warriors that God has designed them to be. Along with mentoring the teams that come through, I am also involved with local ministry here in Bogota. There is a red light district here in the city that we as a team regularly prayer walk; talking to the girls trapped in sex work, were able to hand out flowers and hear their stories. Offering them decent human interactions when they’ve been objectified most if their life. We also do this in the homeless sections of town, talking with homeless, patching up wounds when we can, offering to buy some food but also just listening to them and hearing their stories. Sharing the gospel and offering new hope to the ones who will receive it. There is also the Embera people who have fled to the city for refuge to escape the enslavement of the cartel in northern Colombia. We have the opportunity to share the gospel, hand out food and hygiene packs, and just hangout with them. The young children seem especially lonely and are so ready to receive love and attention. God is faithful to reveal opportunities in which to share the gospel, create avenues to serve further and guide me on my own personal journey with him.

As of now my monthly expenses are around $1000 a month, the $20,000 would be an average needed for the entirety of my 2 year term.
