On A Mission


Dear Friends and Family,
           I am so excited to fill you in on some new developments in my life! I have recently been accepted as a student at the Ramp School of Ministry (RSM)  in Hamilton, Alabama. I truly believe that this is a God-ordained landmark in the history of my life. The Lord is opening doors for me to move to Hamilton and pursue a focused time of being equipped at The Ramp.
            I’d like to tell you a little about The Ramp School of Ministry, so that you’re familiar with the type of atmosphere I will be emersed in as an RSM student. Birthed out of the Ramp's desire to see God's presence overtake a generation, the Ramp School of Ministry began in order to equip a generation for the task of revival and awakening. RSM exists to equip a generation for their God-ordained purpose by sharpening the raw potential inside of them, developing depths of character, integrity, and honor, and introducing them to a burning, passionate way of life.  I feel strongly that God is leading me to go to RSM to be forged in a fire that will shape me forever.
            I am so looking forward to the incredible things that God has in store for me in the next phase of my life. Though the financial need will be great for the journey I am preparing to embark on, I am standing on the promise of Philippians 4:19, “But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” He is always faithful to complete His word, and I know He will make a way for me.
            Now, I’d like to invite you to participate in giving toward my tuition and living expenses for the upcoming school year at RSM. Here is the financial low-down: The tuition cost for my first year as an RSM student is $3500. This will be a one-time payment to cover the nine months of teaching I will receive at RSM. Along with $3500 to cover the cost of tuition, I will need financial assistance for the cost of books, school supplies, transportation and housing.
            If you feel that the Lord is leading you to help fund me in this new endeavor, here are a few details you will need to know. The Ramp School of Ministry has set up an online system that will help you be able to easily give to me. This system is called “Sponsor a Student". To give electronically online, you may visit www.theramp.org/students/index.php at any time, select my name from the drop down list, and give. Because I have already been accepted and confirmed as a student for the upcoming year, my name has been added to this list. If you are unable to give electronically online, feel free to contact me to give to me personally.
            Thank you for the time you have invested into reading this letter. If you feel that God has impressed on your heart to support me financially for this new chapter of my life, I am so grateful for your willing heart. I believe God’s word that you will be blessed beyond measure if you obey the voice of God in giving. I covet your prayers as I transition into this new season. And I will be praying for you as well.
