What can be done in 395 days?

This may seem like a long time to some, but 395 days ago I was saying goodbye to my parents at the Winnipeg airport. It’s sad that I haven’t seen anyone from home since, though hopefully this will change early in the new year.

I’m planning to come home around the end of January or beginning of February. This is the best time for me in terms of work and it’s also the cheapest time to fly. I would like to come home for about a month.

As many of you may or may not know, it is very expensive to fly out of Australia because it’s situated in the middle of nowhere. It costs roughly $2000 CND for a round trip flight, plus added expenses for travel. At the moment, I don’t have enough money for the trip back to Canada. Winnipeg is important to me and I really do miss home. I know without a doubt that God has called me here to work in Australia. But, I also know that it would do me more than good to visit home, even if it is -30C.

I’m asking that you prayerfully consider donating towards this project. I am in a faith ministry and though I fully depend on God for my needs, I can’t do it without the support of people back home. If you make any donations through YWAM (Youth With A Mission) BC they are tax deductible. Below are some ways to send donations:
