Hi everyone!

Thank you so much for taking the time to visit my fundraiser. Whether you're here to pray, encourage me, share this page, or give financially, I truly appreciate you taking the time to be here.

I am so excited to share that God is leading me into a season of missions. For a long time, He has been placing this on my heart, and after much prayer, I have been accepted into Youth With A Mission's (YWAM) Discipleship Training School (DTS) in Mazatlán, Mexico.

This is one of the biggest steps of faith I have ever taken.

If I'm honest, this is something I have always been afraid to do. Stepping into the unknown can be intimidating, but I know that God's plans are greater than my own. I don't know every detail of what the future holds, but I know the One who does, and I trust Him to guide me every step of the way.

Proverbs 3:5–6 has been a constant reminder throughout this journey:

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight."

One of the biggest reasons I feel called to missions is because I want others to know just how deeply they are loved by God. My heart is to know Him more deeply myself and to help others see how valued they are by Him—that they are seen, known, and never beyond His love. The love God has shown me is something I want to share with others.

"We love because He first loved us." — 1 John 4:19

DTS is a five-month discipleship program centered on knowing Christ and making Him known. During the first three months, I will be learning through biblical teaching, discipleship, worship, and community. The final two months are spent on outreach, serving wherever God leads through evangelism, ministry, and practical service.

One verse that has continually encouraged me throughout this decision is Matthew 28:19–20:

"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you."

I believe God calls each of us to serve Him in different ways, and I believe this is where He is calling me in this season of my life.

My fundraising goal is $10,000. This covers much more than just tuition. It includes my lecture phase, outreach costs, airfare and other travel expenses, ministry supplies, and the basic living expenses I'll have during my five months with YWAM.

If you feel led to partner with me financially, every gift—no matter the amount—will help make this journey possible. Every donation is a reminder that I am not walking this road alone, and I am deeply grateful for every person who chooses to be part of what God is doing.

Please pray that God continues to prepare my heart, provides for every need, gives me boldness to share His love, protects our team, and works in the hearts of the people we will meet along the way.

Thank you for believing in me, praying for me, encouraging me, and supporting me as I step into this next season. I can't wait to share updates along the way and tell the stories of how God is moving. It means more than you know to have people walking alongside me in this journey.

With immense love,

Kaitlin Reilly
