To All Nations...

I began my journey in missions nearly 3 years ago, & I am still amazed at just how God brought each detail into place.

This has been an entirely unexpected journey. One that has challenged me, broken me down, expanded my heart & my mind, & grown my capacity to love without walls.

This past 5 months has been no exception! It has been the year for ALL of the things!

•Pioneering+staffing the School of Transformational Business or Business With A Mission for Los Angeles and the U.S.

•Hosting monthly mini business seminars for local entrepreneurs, business owners & the employed teaching everything from marketing & innovation, to how businesses can serve as a mission to reach local communities

•Starting a monthly small group for entrepreneurs and creatives through the book "Called to Create" that is attracting everyone from local artists & podcast hosts, to photographers, designers & actors

•Opening & operating our very own Business With A Mission- Aviva Cafe or 'Come to life!' in Portuguese- right here on our YWAM base, that supports local & international missions

•Leading worship through music & singing at local churches and weekly on our own campus

•Auditioning and being accepted as a worship leader for Pasadena International House of Prayer where I will be joining teams

•Preparing to staff and participate from September-November 2023 in School of Transformational Business Mazatlan, Mexico where we are helping to pioneer this program for Latin America

•Serving in local outreach to Hollywood, Glendale, Pasadena and Los Angeles through partnership with local organizations

•Mentoring and discipling young social media influencers in the city

•Branching out into neighboring states to serve and form partnership with our sister YWAM bases in Oregon as well as House of Prayer in Salem

Thank you SO much for your prayer, your friendship and your financial partnership! Everything I do is made possible through your generosity. Together, we form a team that is reaching far beyond what you or I could do on our own!

Upcoming opportunities and needs!

•I am raising funds to sustain 2 weeks in Mazatlan that are not covered through school tuition-

My fellow staff and I have been given the opportunity to be in Mexico one week prior and one week after the SOTB seminar to help plan the finishing touches before the students arrival. This is roughly an additional $400.00 cost I will need to cover. This is in addition to continuing to cover my monthly costs in Los Angeles of $325.00/month.
