Donations

While the PCUSA picks up half of my expenses as a YAV, I still need to raise $6000 to support myself.  I've already been blessed with two generous donations from my church familes -- Edgewood Presbyterian Church in Birmingham raised $784 for me in a special offering and First Presbyterian Church of Huntsville has pledged to match all individual donations up to $500, up to $3000 total.  WHICH MEANS that any money you feel called to donate to my mission will be doubled by the benevolent folks down at FPC Huntsville.

If that plea convinced you, here's the easiest way to donate:

Make checks payable to Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary

On the memo line include AYAVA House for Piper Madison

Mail checks to-

Office of Admissions

Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary

100 E 27th St

Austin, TX 78705

Peace of Christ (from the Huntsville Airport)!

The First Post

I've set up this blog primarily to communicate all the wonderful (and difficult) things I encounter as a YAV.  However, as I prepare to leave for GA220, I've decided to document that experience, too.  Both of these opportunities are enormous blessings and I'm so glad to have a way to share them with all of you.

I leave tomorrow for Pittsburgh!  I'll be serving both as the Young Adult Advisory Delegate for the North Alabama Presbytery and as a representative of the Young Adult Volunteer Program, a boat load of duties that I'm glad to take on.  I'll appreciate all your prayers for travelling mercies for me and all our brothers and sisters on our way to the GA this weekend, as well as prayers for movement and discernment through the Holy Spirit.  Lord knows we'll need it.

I haven't even begun to pack, hence the short post.

Peace of Christ!
