Czech Republic Mission Trip | Support Letter

Dear Friends and Family,

I am excited to share the opportunity God has given me. Before I do, I want to briefly update you on our basketball ministry at Cedarville University.

We are now in our second official year, and it has been encouraging to see how the Lord continues to grow it. Each Sunday, we host open gyms that average more than thirty players, including both Cedarville students and men from the community. At halftime, we share the gospel. What started as basketball has become consistent opportunities for real conversations and new relationships that extend beyond the court.

Throughout the year, we host three major events, including two tournaments and an All-Star game. These events help us expand our outreach and connect with more players. We are also planning to participate in a jail ministry game and meet together regularly in a Life Group to make sure our own spiritual growth stays central. Our mission is to leverage basketball as a platform to know and share Christ with others through evangelism, relationships, and competition.

Because of how God has been working locally, I am grateful for the opportunity to serve internationally, as well. This spring, I will serve on a mission trip through Cedarville University’s Global Outreach office. Our team will travel to the Czech Republic from May 22 to May 30, 2026.

Our Ministry Focus in the Czech Republic

We will serve alongside Křesťané Pelhřimov, a church committed to sharing the gospel in its region. Our goal is to be ready to compete for God’s glory, boldly share the Good News in a predominantly atheist culture, and serve the local church that God is already establishing.

During the week, we plan to:

• Serve alongside the local church in Pelhřimov by participating in worship gatherings and sharing testimonies.

• Partner with the Christian Basketball Academy to support their mission and disciple young athletes through practices, games, and intentional relationships.

• Visit local high schools to assist in English classes and build relationships with students.

• Compete against players across the region in basketball open gyms to support outreach.

• Serve the community by helping lead and support a student worship service.

Through basketball, we hope to share the hope of Christ and encourage both believers and those who may not yet know Him, while supporting the local church in its ongoing work.

How You Can Partner With Me

I would be grateful for your partnership in two ways:

• Prayer

  • Please pray for unity within our team, boldness as we share, open hearts among those we meet, and lasting fruit from this trip.

• Financial Support

  • Each team member is responsible for raising the full cost of the trip. My fundraising goal is $2,700, which covers travel and ministry expenses.

  • If you would like to give, you may do so through my personal giving link: Personal Giving Link

Financial support to Cedarville University for Global Outreach teams is tax-deductible when given with the understanding that it supports the missionary outreach of the participants and, therefore, is nonrefundable. Contributions are under the complete discretion and control of Cedarville University and are used only to accomplish the ministry goals of the program. Excess funds will be used for Global Outreach ministry teams.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and for considering how you might partner with me. I am grateful for your support and look forward to sharing how God works through this opportunity.

Please feel free to contact me with any additional questions regarding our trip or ministry.

In Christ,
